Since being crowned a meme stock in early 2021, AMC Theatres has increasingly embraced cryptocurrency—and particularly meme coins and tokens Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which CEO Adam Aron has often tweeted about in recent months. And now you can spend them using AMC’s app.
Today, Aron tweeted that the firm’s mobile app now supports payments in both Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), alongside other cryptocurrencies. The support comes via an integration with crypto payments provider BitPay, and users can spend DOGE and SHIB on tickets, concessions, and gift cards alike.
AMC implemented both coins to its website in March via its partnership with BitPay, and Aron tweeted that they would reach the mobile app by April 16 at the latest. Aron’s tweet today about mobile support, much like his previous tweets about DOGE and/or SHIB, has already racked up thousands of interactions.
Exactly as promised, the AMC mobile app for AMC’s U.S. theatres now accepts online payments using Doge Coin, Shiba Inu, and other crypto currencies — 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. pic.twitter.com/MMy7SIxYbl

AMC stock is down nearly 3% today at a price of about $18. The stock started the year at a price of about $26.50 and briefly popped above $29 per share in late March, but its price has tumbled significantly in the weeks since.
Dogecoin is up about 3% in the past 24 hours at a current price of $0.145 per coin, according to data from CoinMarketCap, while Shiba Inu is down less than a percentage point at $0.0000258 per token. The wider crypto market is up about 1% over the past day.
Movie theater chain AMC has increasingly leaned into the world of cryptocurrency since the initial meme stock frenzy that sent its share price soaring about this time last year. Now the company has made good on its promise to reward shareholders with NFT collectibles. Today, AMC deployed exclusive “I Own AMC” NFTs to the more than 580,000 shareholders who registered via AMC’s Investor Connect portal by the December 31 deadline. The NFTs were minted on WAX, a platform designed for high-volume app...
AMC’s embrace of cryptocurrency began in August 2021, when Aron announced that the firm planned to accept Bitcoin payments by the end of the year.
Gradually, that list expanded to include coins like Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash, with social media fan campaigns eventually convincing the firm to add Dogecoin and Shiba Inu to its plans. AMC began accepting Dogecoin payments online solely for gift cards in October.
The firm has also launched its own NFT collectibles via the WAX blockchain, both in tandem with Spider-Man: No Way Home and also as a reward for AMC shareholders. AMC released The Batman NFTs via Palm, a sidechainsidechain scaling solution for Ethereum as well. An NFT acts like a deed of ownership to a digital item, and can include collectibles, artwork, and more.
AMC’s plans in the crypto space could expand beyond supporting coins and tokens and releasing NFTs, however. In October, Aron told CNBC that the firm “could be a successful issuer of cryptocurrency as well as a redeemer of cryptocurrency,” and was exploring its options.
As crypto treasury companies raise millions, some investors funding their pivot are cashing in as soon as they can, causing the firms’ stock prices to plummet. Within the past two weeks, SharpLink Gaming and Upexi have become notable examples, with their stock prices plunging over 60% moments after registration-of-shares filings were deemed effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The companies have relinquished most of the gains they accrued after announcing plans to stockpile...
San Francisco-based financial services company SoFi will make its return to crypto later this year, offering its users the ability to trade and hold popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the firm announced on Wednesday. SoFi previously offered the capability to buy and sell crypto, and even acquired the notoriously difficult-to-obtain New York BitLicense in 2019—but the firm stopped offering crypto services in 2023 after “careful consideration.” The firm also mentioned plans to o...
New York City wakes up Wednesday morning to a surprise: Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic mayoral primary. While pollsters initially dismissed the progressive candidate, punters on blockchain-based prediction platform Polymarket correctly called his victory ahead of official confirmation. Before Tuesday's vote, conventional polls favored former Governor Andrew Cuomo. But sentiment among participants on Polymarket shifted rapidly toward Mamdani, after an Emerson College poll released Monday...
