Stripe’s Payment Policies Under Fire for Restricting Bitcoin Mining Hardware Sales
Stripe, one of the leading online payment platforms, has been accused of blocking transactions for Bitcoin mining hardware, such as graphics cards, ASIC miners, and power supplies. Some customers claim that Stripe's policy is vague, unfair, and discriminatory, and that it harms legitimate businesses that sell mining equipment. Stripe has not commented on its policy, nor has it explained why it considers Bitcoin mining hardware as high-risk.
