Netflix may merely be the next Fortune 100 company to buy Bitcoin (BTC) and Amazon will have to accept information technology, says billionaire Tim Draper.

In an appearance on the Unstoppable Podcast on February. 28, the serial investor and hodler forecast that out of all possible candidates, Netflix is his option for putting BTC on its residue canvas.

Draper: Netflix "might exist next large one to fall"

"You know who it might be? Netflix," he said.

"I think Reed Hastings is a very innovative guy and has a lot of creative thinking and I think he still controls the reins at Netflix and so I think that might be the next big one to autumn."

The prediction comes as telltale signs of institutional buy-ins proceed to surface at current prices, with $48,000 seeing multiple large transactions at Coinbase Pro over the by week. Classic buyers MicroStrategy and Square both added to their positions.

Ever the optimist, Draper also considered that Amazon would add together a straight Bitcoin payment option in future.

"Amazon will probably start accepting Bitcoin pretty soon," he said, noting that consumers have been able to buy products indirectly using cryptocurrency for many years.

Amazon added Ethereum availability to its Managed Blockchain this week.

Bitcoin itself meanwhile saw a change in fortunes on Wednesday, exiting the $40,000 corridor to striking highs of $51,800 — the about since Feb. 25.

"That went well," popular trader Scott Melker summarized about overnight activity.

"Price broke out of both patterns, the local bull flag and descending channel. It is likewise currently trading higher up the 50% retracement level of the entire move, then holding above ~$l,600 would be very bullish. Let's keep this momentum."
