During Twitterâs Q2 Earnings Conference Call, CEO Jack Dorsey stated that Bitcoin would be a âbig partâ of the companyâs future. His comments speculated a BTC integration into Twitter services, which is now starting off with its tip jars.
Furthermore, Twitter can incorporate its CEOâs favorite Bitcoin into other services as well, such as Super Follows, Commerce, and Subscriptions.
âIf the Internet has a native currency, a global currency, we are able to move so much faster with products such as Super Follows, Commerce, Subscriptions, Tip Jar, and we can reach every single person on the planetâŠI think this is a big part of our future. I think thereâs a lot of innovation above just currency to be had, especially as we think about decentralizing social media more and providing more economic incentive. So, I think itâs hugely important to Twitter and to Twitter shareholders that we continue to look at the space and invest aggressively in it.â, said Dorsey.
