AMC Theatres to Accept Shiba Inu Within Two to Four Months

AMC Theatres will accept shiba inu (SHIB) as payment through BitPay wallets in 60-120 days, AMC CEO Adam Aron said on Tuesday.

Aron said in a tweet Tuesday that at his suggestion BitPay will start accepting SHIB and AMC will be the first to use the service.
BitPay provides payment processing services for cryptocurrencies.
Last week Aron said AMC will start accepting bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies for online payments.
The theater chain will also accept dogecoin for the purchase of gift cards worth up to $200 per day, the CEO tweeted early in October.
