This was tweeted by AMC CEO Adam Aron as he revealed that he personally lobbied BitPay, the blockchain payments company used by AMC Theatres, to support Shiba Inu. The token has seen a lot of mainstream acceptance and seen big jumps in the past few weeks and months.
According to Aron’s tweet, cryptocurrency payment processor BitPay is adding Shiba Inu “specifically” so that AMC could accept the meme-inspired cryptocurrency for online payments of movie tickets and concessions. Aron had earlier posted a Twitter poll in late October asking if the company should accept Shiba Inu payments and a resounding 81.4 percent of people voted ‘Yes’ – this then sparked the next move.
