News Synopsis

The United States-based popular movie theatre chain AMC has announced that it will accept cryptocurrencies to purchase tickets and snacks along with concessions using Dogecoin and Shiba Inu digital coins. AMC’s Chief Executive Officer Adam Aron informed on the microblogging platformTwitter that AMC has integrated support for cryptocurrencies through a Bitpay integration. The tweet read, "The AMC mobile app for AMC's U.S. theatres now accepts online payments using Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and other cryptocurrencies -- thanks to Bitpay. Also Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Paypal. To do so, you first will need to update to the latest version of our app.”

The process to use cryptocurrency as a payment method is quite easy. Select the seats, add concessions and click on Bitpay as your payment method. The Verge also informed that Bitpay also facilitates payments using other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The Movie theatre chain last year allowed people to buy movie tickets with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin. CEO Adam Aron had tweeted, "As promised, many new ways NOW to pay online at AMC. We proudly now accept: drumroll, please� Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin. Also Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. Incredibly, they already account for 14% of our total online transactions!.”
