The store displays pricing information in both U.S. dollars and dogecoin. The Giga Texas Belt Buckle lists for 835 DOGE (≈$155.5); the Cyberquad sells for 12,020 DOGE (≈$2,296), while a Cyberwhistle goes for 300 DOGE (≈$57).
Dogecoin ( $0.072 ) was trading at $0.19 at the time of writing and is the world’s 11th largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $24 billion.
The move comes nearly a month after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in December 2021 that the electric-car maker would accept dogecoin as payment for its merchandise. “Tesla will make some merch buyable with Doge & see how it goes,” he said at the time.
Earlier this year, Tesla started accepting Bitcoin ( $75,454.00 ) as payment for its electric cars. The pilot proved short-lived amid rising concerns about Bitcoin ( $75,454.00 ) ’s energy usage and was soon dropped.
