The Twitter Poll & Announcements

Earlier in October 2021, Aron had posted a Twitter poll asking if the company should accept Shiba Inu payments, and a resounding 81.4%? of people voted "for sure".

And after repeatedly being asked for a launch timeline on Twitter by meme coin community members, he had tweeted back in November 2021 that AMC Theatres will accept DOGE and SHIB via Bitpay. This promise was fulfilled in December 2021 after Bitpay began supporting Shiba Inu after already supporting Dogecoin payments.

And now as per CEO's recent tweet, the company is expected to accept Dogecoin and Shiba Inu cryptocurrencies ‘for any and all payments made via the AMC website and mobile app’, with the implementation in the promised first quarter itself, with March likely to be the month to kickstart it.
