Earlier today Perk announced it would soon be hosting a Perk giveaway for Bitcoins which is major news as the venture backed company (having raised over 1 million USD to date) is going to put a toe in the waters for bitcoin.
Details as of yet are still sparse but this is the first time that Perk has offered bitcoins on the platform and while this is a giveaway (costs perk points) the company has stated they will soon add bitcoins to the rewards catalog for perk points.
