American fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake will begin accepting Bitcoin at all locations starting May 16 marking a major leap in crypto adoption across the restaurant industry. The company made the announcement on X on May 9 to over 100 million customers and signed off as Steaktoshi showing strong support for the digital currency.

The move follows weeks of teasing by the brand through Bitcoin-themed marketing campaigns and promotions featuring Tesla giveaways. Crypto advocates like Jack Dorsey quickly backed the idea when the chain first hinted at it in March asking fans whether it should accept Bitcoin.

This shift puts Steak ‘n Shake alongside crypto-friendly brands like Chipotle Subway and Burger King. Few fast food chains have committed to full-scale cryptocurrency payments making this a bold and exciting move. As more brands enter the crypto space Steak ‘n Shake now stands out as a pioneer in making digital payments a reality for millions of fast food lovers.
