AMC Theatres is now accepting payments in both dogecoin and shiba iu (SHIB), cryptocurrencies. AMC Entertainment, aka AMC Theatres is America’s largest movie theatre company. It operates around 950 theatres worldwide and 10500 screens.
Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Theatres announced Thursday that amctheatres.com will now accept DOGE and SHIB payments online. Bitpay, which handles crypto payments for AMC Theatres, was also mentioned by the CEO.
Bitcoin.com News visited AMC Theatres’ website to find out that Bitpay was now available as a payment method. AMC Theatres accepts Bitpay and many other cryptocurrency, in addition to dogecoin or shiba Inu.
Aron had previously stated that AMC Theatres accepts four cryptocurrency: bitcoin, bitcoin Cash, Litecoin and Ether. But, these cryptocurrencies could not be paid through customers’ Paypal accounts.
Since he ran a twitter poll on dogecoin and another about shiba-inu in September, the CEO promised that AMC Theatres would accept DOGE or SHIB payments. Aron stated in November that Bitpay was convinced to support SHIB. In November, the crypto payment provider started supporting Shiba Inu.
Aron also said in February that the crypto payment option will be live on the company’s mobile apps by April 16 or a few days earlier.
