Following the introduction of Ohio’s official cryptocurrency payment platform, just two businesses have filed their taxes using bitcoin, said Ohio’s state treasurer Robert Sprague,. How much the state received in bitcoin remains unknown, as financial confidentiality doesn’t allow divulging such information.
