There have been rumors that Starbucks Corp. (Nasdaq: SBUX) would accept Bitcoin, but now we have concrete evidence that it's about to happen.

The coffee giant is partnering with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) and the Intercontinental Exchange to launch a new company called Bakkt. The new company will allow retail consumers and institutions to buy, sell, and spend cryptocurrencies, according to CNBC.

Bakkt is expected to launch by November.

Bitcoin"As a leader in mobile pay to our more than 15 million Starbucks Rewards members, Starbucks is committed to innovation for expanding payment options for our customers," Maria Smith, vice president of payments and partnerships for Starbucks, said in a statement.
