American fastfood chain Steak ‘n Shake will start accepting Bitcoin payments at all its US restaurants from May 16, as announced on May 9.
Former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey publicly endorsed Steak ‘n Shake's decision to accept Bitcoin after the chain showed interest earlier in March.
Steak ‘n Shake will become one of the few national restaurant chains fully committing to accepting Bitcoin, giving over 100 million customers the option to use the cryptocurrency for purchases.
This move follows other restaurants like Chipotle and Subway experimenting with crypto payments in the past, while the historic connection between Bitcoin and fast food dates back to the famous Bitcoin Pizza Day in 2010.
