Holden, who authored the new study, predicted that bitcoin's active user base will rise to about 4.7 million by 2019 from about 1.3 million in 2014.

That growth, however, will not directly translate to an increase in the value of bitcoin transactions. In fact, the Juniper report predicts a major drop in the total sum of transaction values for 2015, followed by a gradual increase through 2019. The paper attributes this fall in part to temporary trader concerns over the cryptocurrency's future.

And there are several major impediments for bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies' (generally known as altcoins) ascension to the mainstream, Holden said. He pointed to three things keeping the technology within a relatively narrow world: The prices of these digital assets have gone through significant volatility since their inception, exchanges have suffered thefts and mysteriously missing funds, and becoming an active consumer or retail user requires some tech know-how.

"These all make it exceedingly difficult to bring bitcoin, to bring altcoin, into the mass market," he said, adding that technologies like Apple Pay should be the focus of most retailers.

Still, the volatility issue will likely decline, Holden said.

Juniper's analysis expected that some kind of regulation would occur on cryptocurrency exchanges in the short to medium term, which should calm the price movement somewhat, he said.

Bitcoin to near 5M active users by 2019: Study

Coyno said it was going to release a tax reporting feature in its program as an increasing number of businesses looked to accept the cryptocurrency as payment.

On Tuesday, Japanese internet giant Rakuten said it would accept bitcoin on its e-commerce platform, while everything from beer to tuition fees can now be paid for with the currency.

In the U.S., bitcoin is seen as an asset and is subject to capital gains tax, while in Germany, it is subject to income tax.

"The main issue is bitcoin is seen as an asset. So when you get that on your books, and the value changes and you buy stuff with it, you get a benefit and that is measured in money. This is a gain that you need to be able to declare and pay taxes for, especially if you are a corporation in the U.S.," Keller said.

So far Coyno has just 200 users. It charges 20 euros ($21.20) a year for a personal account. For companies, Keller said that the fee would likely depend on the number of transactions being made.

Keller told CNBC the company is aiming to raise 200,000 euros ($212,630) of funding to keep it going until the end of the year, and a further 1 million euros in 2016 to help it grow.
