> 50% discount when paid in Bitcoin

.. and no obvious incorporation details or company number? With which country are they going to file this balance sheet?

Or is it like the various local tradesmen who will offer me a 20% discount for payment in physical currency? That is, we both know that's not going onto any balance sheet that the taxman will see.

Doesn’t the entire world have access to that balance sheet in their case?

Not really if they follow the standard advice to use a different wallet address for each payment. And they don't use a mixer. It is after all pseudonymous.

‘Use a different wallet every time’ only works if you don’t think about it.

If you’re a company you need to pay your employee, vendors etc. Tracking down all related transactions is not that hard.

My guess is they wouldn’t even attempt to stay anonymous that way since they don’t have to and it doesn’t work anyway (for an organization like them)
