Buy your coffee at Starbucks using Bitcoin
Coffee house giant Starbucks recently started accepting cryptocurrencies as a form of payment in an attempt to step-up their blockchain game. After previously publicly denying that they would be accepting crypto, they now seem to have changed their stance.
According to Fortune magazine, Starbucks has officially become a Flexa partner. Flexa is the startup working with Gemini exchange, a cryptocurrency exchange owned by the Winklevoss twins, to facilitate crypto-payments for retailers and help them reduce the commissions paid for current payment providers.
The company officially started backing new Bitcoin futures and custody platform Bakkt last year. Rumours began to surface at that time about Starbucks accepting cryptocurrency payments, which they denied.
According to Flexa’s CEO, Tyler Spalding, payments through the network can be done in BTC (Bitcoin), ETH (Ethereum), BCH (Bitcoin Cash) or GUSD (Gemini’s Stable-Coin) with more assets coming soon. The payment is done through their mobile application “SPEDN”, you simply load the app with cryptocurrencies and pay using a QR code at partnered retailers. Although Flexa claims to be a supported form of payment in more than 30,000 stores worldwide, the app is not currently available on the UK App Store.
Starbucks is not the only retailer that seems to has started accepting cryptocurrencies thanks to Flexa and Gemini. Nordstrom, Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, Bed Bath & Beyond, Lowe’s, Gamestop and Office Depot are all new official partners of Flexa and ready to accept digital assets as a form of payment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
If our approach to the market doesn’t beat the overall crypto market during your subscription, we’ll give you a full refund of your membership fee. No questions asked. For quarterly and monthly subscribers this is applicable once your subscription runs for 6 consecutive months.
