#加密市场反弹# The famous US-based fast food chain is starting to accept Bitcoin as payment.
American fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake announced that it will accept Bitcoin as a payment method in all its branches starting May 16.
The company announced on its social media platform on May 9 that it will offer the cryptocurrency to more than 100 million customers and ended its post with the signature “Steaktoshi” along with the statement “the movement is just beginning”.
The fast food chain had first hinted that it could accept Bitcoin

by sharing a post on social media in March asking “Should Steak ‘n Shake accept Bitcoin?”
This post caught the attention of the crypto community and Bitcoin supporters such as Jack Dorsey. Dorsey quickly replied “yes” to the post.
The company has continued its interest in this subject since then with Bitcoin-themed marketing efforts, Tesla campaigns and visual clues on its social media accounts.
Accepting Bitcoin represents a significant development in the mainstream adoption of crypto, as few restaurant chains have moved beyond limited pilots to full-fledged payment systems.
Crypto for fast food
Stake ‘n Shake will join a growing number of fast food chains accepting crypto payments.
Chipotle has accepted nearly 100 different cryptocurrencies since 2022, including Bitcoin, Ether ETHUSD and Solana SOLUSD
Subway, an early adopter of crypto payments, launched a Bitcoin payment pilot at select branches in 2013.
KFC launched a “Bitcoin Bucket” campaign in Canada in 2018, allowing purchases with BTC. McDonald’s accepts Bitcoin as part of a local crypto initiative in Lugano, Switzerland.
Burger King has accepted crypto gift cards and direct crypto payments in some countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, and Venezuela. In September, Donald Trump bought a burger with Bitcoin at a bar in New York.
Pizza Hut became one of the first mainstream brands to accept BTC in El Salvador, where it was declared legal tender in 2021.
The first Bitcoin transaction was made by Laszlo Hanyecz on May 22, 2010, to buy fast food. This date later became known as Bitcoin Pizza Day. Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, which were worth $40 at the time. Today, those pizzas are worth over a billion dollars.
