Bitcoin accepted at fast-food chain Steak ’n Shake from May 16
Summary
Steak ‘n Shake will accept Bitcoin as payment at all locations starting May 16, targeting over 100 million customers. The announcement followed a social media inquiry about accepting Bitcoin, which garnered positive responses from the crypto community. This move signifies a notable step in mainstream cryptocurrency adoption, as few restaurant chains have implemented full-scale crypto payment systems. Other fast food chains, such as Chipotle, Subway, KFC, McDonald's, and Burger King, have also accepted various cryptocurrencies in different capacities. The first Bitcoin transaction for fast food occurred in 2010 when Laszlo Hanyecz bought two pizzas for 10,000 BTC, marking the famous Bitcoin Pizza Day.
