Bitcoin could now be purchased at Coinstar kiosks inside 200 Walmart stores in the US.
This move is part of Walmart's pilot program with Coinstar, which is offering bitcoin at more than 8,000 kiosks.

To buy bitcoin at Walmart, customers must open an account with cryptocurrency exchange Coinme. They would have to use paper money, as coins are not accepted.
Customers would also be charged a transaction fee of 4 percent and a cash exchange fee of 7 percent for each purchase.
