Following its acquisition by TRON earlier this year, BitTorrent has announced that it will now accept TRON (TRX), Binance (BNB) and Bitcoin (BTC) cryptocurrencies for its Pro and Ads Free products.

BitTorrent is the company behind leading peer-to-peer (P2P) communications protocol and products – BitTorrent and µTorrent. Customers would now be able to pay for the Pro and Ads Free products in TRX, BNB, and BTC.

The support for cryptocurrencies as a payment method is being facilitated via CoinPayments.net, a leading integrated payment gateway provider for cryptocurrencies.

"BitTorrent joins a growing list of online companies whose products and services accept TRX as payment," said Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and CEO of BitTorrent. "With BitTorrent's over 100 million users, the move helps increase the use of TRX in online marketplaces while giving consumers more options to unlock value from BitTorrent's premium products."

Holders of the leading cryptocurrencies can purchase one-year subscriptions of BitTorrent or µTorrent products, including Ads Free and Pro for Windows. Pro includes anti-virus and anti-malware screening, file converting and playability in HD.

Founded in September 2017 by Justin Sun, TRON aims to accelerate the decentralization of the Internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications. It has delivered a series of achievements, including Mainnet launch in May 2018, followed by network independence in June 2018, and TRON Virtual Machine launch in August 2018. It acquired BitTorrent in July 2018.
