Mobile Nations, operator of ShopAndroid, ShopCrackberry, the iMore Store, and Windows Phone Central Store has released some interesting statistics to CoinDesk regarding the usage of bitcoin on their store properties — which they began accepting in early December.

Of all transactions that have taken place on Mobile Nations properties, roughly 0.004% of them were made in bitcoin. A small amount, certainly, but chief media officer at Mobile Nations Kevin Michaluk told CoinDesk that the individuals who do shop in bitcoin tend to spend more.

“The single largest order placed in our stores in December was actually paid for with bitcoin,” he noted.

The company began accepting bitcoin in the first place due to customer demand, but with 0.004% of all orders being made in bitcoin, it’s definitely still an enthusiast’s market. (via CoinDesk)
