AMC Entertainment will soon be allowing customers to make payments for movie tickets online using Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and Dogecoin (DOGE). This will be possible because the entertainment company is currently updating its technical infrastructure which will then allow the customers to pay with crypto for their tickets.
Twitter Users Supports Adding Shiba Inu as Payment
Adam Aron, Chief Executive Officer of AMC Entertainment, posted on Twitter on Friday morning and he asked users if they will also like to make an online payment with the company using Shiba Inu as well. As of now, over 85% of users who took part in the polls have chosen Yes to agree that they will want to pay online using Shiba Inu, leaving only 15% that are not in direct support.
The popular theatre chain has recently been showing increasing interest in cryptocurrency and the entertainment company is taking more steps to adopt cryptocurrency. In the previous week, Adam Aron entertained the possibility of the company releasing its specific cryptocurrency.
Earlier this month, the theatre chain allowed its customers to pay for digital gift cards using cryptocurrency such as Dogecoin and others through the BitPay wallet. Last month, the company’s CEO disclosed an interest in producing commemorative movie tickets as NFTs, this was revealed during an interview with CNBC.
