Does Microsoft accept cryptocurrency?

Could you elaborate on the current stance of Microsoft towards cryptocurrency? I've been hearing rumors that they might be considering accepting digital currencies as a payment method, but I'm not entirely sure. Do they have any official announcements or policies regarding this? If so, which cryptocurrencies are they considering? And how would this potentially impact the cryptocurrency market and Microsoft's business operations? I'm curious to know if this is a trend that other major corporations might follow in the future.
