AMC had announced earlier this year that they were planning to accept cryptocurrencies.
“We proudly now accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC). Also, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal. Incredibly, they already account for 14% of our total online transactions! Dogecoin next,” Adam Aron tweeted. As reported earlier this year, AMC announced that the company is planning to accept cryptocurrencies. The global crypto community welcomed AMC’s decision and praised the company for its contribution towards the global adoption of digital currencies. More and more mainstream firms are beginning to embrace cryptocurrencies.
AMC mentioned that the company is considering SHIB as a mode for payments.
Amid the latest jump in retail interest for cryptocurrency Shiba Inu, AMC mentioned that they are also considering SHIB as a mode for payments. Aron recently ran a Twitter poll asking people about the possibility of accepting Shiba Inu as a payment method. “As you know, you can now purchase AMC gift cards using cryptocurrency, and our IT group is writing code so that soon we can accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Dogecoin, among others. Should we strive to take Shiba Inu too?” Aron asked in October. In terms of results, more than 80% of respondents supported the possible acceptance of Shiba Inu.
