As previously promised, customers of AMC Theatres, a subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, will now be able to pay with meme coins Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB)- thanks to a partnership with <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/bitpay-now-supports-shiba-inu-payments-for-merchants/">BitPay</a>, a crypto payment company.

The CEO of the world's most prominent movie exhibition company made the announcement on Twitter today, saying the company is making the move in response to the 'clear enthusiasm and interest' shown by customers.

Since their inception, communities of both meme coins have been working hard to encourage businesses to accept the tokens as a form of payment.
<h2>Adopting Dogecoin and Shiba Inu as Crypto Payments</h2>
A widely acknowledged reality is that the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology in daily life is increasing day by day, and those who refuse to make the transition are falling more and further behind.

Following months of promising the new payment option, the firm <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/amc-theaters-will-accept-eth-ltc-and-bch-for-online-movie-tickets/">revealed </a>last year that it had finally implemented cryptocurrency payments for movie tickets. At the time, it only accepted Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Litecoin (LTC), and Litecoin Cash (LTC), with the promise that DOGE would follow shortly after.

A Twitter poll was also created by the company's CEO, Aaron Adams, to determine if Shiba Inu (SHIB), another famous meme cryptocurrency that just surpassed Dogecoin in terms of market valuation, should be added to the list of supported cryptocurrencies. According to the results of the <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/amc-theatres-considers-accepting-shiba-inu-as-payment-for-movie-tickets/">poll</a>, the majority of the votes were in support of the movie theater chain embracing SHIB.

AMC Theatres is not the only US movie theater chain accepting Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and other cryptocurrencies for payment of movie tickets. Last year, Regal Cinemas, an American movie theater chain based in Knoxville, Tennessee, announced a partnership with Flexa, a digital payments company, to enable customers to pay for tickets and concessions using digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
