From the four (Deloitte, EY, PwC, and KPMG) I believe Deloitte has been in the forefront of embracing the blockchain technology for quite some time, which is a good thing as it will now help in the mainstream adoption of bitcoin as these companies are established worldwide.

Hope the reason for some of these accounting firms to accept Bitcoin is not tied to the several breakaway devs developing their own blockchain based projects .

The big four accounting firms are the ones auditing and giving advisory services to 99% of the top 100 companies so seeing them embracing the new technology would mean that the companies would eventually trust the bitcoin and would be a big help to push more the people into recognizing bitcoin as an innovation and not just another fad as what others say.
