Ohio - Ohio is making history as the first state to accept cryptocurrency as a way to pay taxes.

"We are proud to make Ohio the first state in the nation to accept tax payments via cryptocurrency," Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel said, "We're doing this to provide Ohioans more options and ease in paying their taxes and also to project Ohio's leadership in embracing blockchain technology."

The state launched OhioCrypto.com, a website that allows citizens to pay taxes with Bitcoin. 

The site converts cryptocurrency into United States Dollars before the money is deposited into the state's account.

Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency eligible for payment on OhioCrypto.com, but other cryptocurrency will be added in the future.

23 different taxes are eligible for payment on the website.
