Do you love burgers from American fast-food chain Steak'n Shake? The solid beef grinder tastes very steak-like, plus a milkshake, cool! Now the crypto community is sure to be more favorable to them, as Steak'n Shake announced that starting May 16, all stores across the United States will accept Bitcoin (BTC) payments. Steak'n Shake posted on social platform X: "The movement has just begun - Satoshi Steak" Steak'n Shake has warmed up since March this year through the marketing method of "curious about cryptocurrency (crypto-curious)", which attracted market attention and finally officially released an announcement today. Reason? One of the main considerations for Steak'n Shake to accept Bitcoin payments is to reduce transaction fees for traditional payment channels. Bitcoin transaction fees are typically less than 1% compared to credit card fees of 2-3%, and the potential cost savings are attractive to fast-food chains that require large amounts of cash. While Steak'n Shake did not release details of the BTC charges, it is expected to include working with cryptocurrency payment processors, integrating into point-of-sale (POS) systems, handling real-time exchange rate conversions, and security measures. Despite the challenges of Bitcoin price volatility, customer acceptance, and payment system stability, it remains to be seen whether Steak'n Shake's "Bitcoin Burger" story in the fast food industry can lead the way.
