AMC, Shiba Inu (SHIB) considering accepting cryptocurrency, meme meets stock meme coin.
AMC Theaters, the world’s largest movie theater chain, is considering accepting the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency as a means of payment for ticket and concession booth purchases.
CEO Adam Aron created a poll on his Twitter account today asking his followers if the company would accept the “Dogecoin killer.”
As of 6:20 p.m. Turkish time, 67,722 votes have already been cast and the results show that 82% of respondents chose the option to add Shiba Inu to the platform.
“As you know, you can now buy AMC gift cards using cryptocurrency, and our IT team is working on a code that in the near future will allow us to accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin, among others. Should we try to include the Shiba Inu?”

Aron conducted a similar survey on Twitter in September to keep the pulse of his followers on Dogecoin and attracted the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Earlier this October, AMC CEO announced that support for the original meme coin will be added in early 2022. Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash will also be added to the platform as new payment methods by the end of the year. As Aron mentioned in the aforementioned tweet, the company’s team of IT experts is currently working on it.

The two biggest meme coins, Shiba Inu and Dogecoin, seem to fit perfectly into the movie chain. AMC stock had gone wild in early 2021 amid rebellious traders from the WallStreetBets group on Reddit who were fiercely buying short-term stocks.
In June, AMC’s CEO, Aron, was allegedly not wearing pants during an interview, after which the popularity and price of AMC skyrocketed after it went viral.
The share of the movie theater chain has increased 1652 percent to date in light of such developments.
