TWITTER POLL #2: As you know, you can now purchase AMC gift cards using cryptocurrency, and our IT group is writing code so that soon we can accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin among others. Should we strive to take Shiba Inu too?— Adam Aron (@CEOAdam) October 29, 2021

What is the company working on now? Aron has reported that the AMC’s IT team is creating an infrastructure to accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and other assets as payments for online tickets by the end of this year. The organization first announced plans to add bitcoin as a means of payment in August, and soon after expanded the list of cryptocurrencies.
