🥤 Fast food chain Steak ‘n Shake saw its sales jump more than 10% in the second quarter after accepting Bitcoin as a payment method, outperforming the largest U.S. restaurant chains in the same period.
🗣️ “Bitcoin has been a game changer,” the company said on social media X
The company thanked Bitcoin users for their support when the chain began accepting Bitcoin as a payment method.
💲 The strong sales growth shows that Bitcoin is a popular choice for merchants in the U.S.
“Bitcoin continues to be ignored… but they can’t do it forever,” the company said.
💵 About two weeks after accepting Bitcoin, Steak ‘n Shake COO Dan Edwards said Bitcoin had saved the company 50% on payment processing fees.
🗣️ “That means Bitcoin is good for the customer, good for us as entrepreneurs, and good for the Bitcoin community,” Edwards said at the Bitcoin 2025 conference.
❗He added that Steak ‘n Shake processed 0.2% of all Bitcoin transactions on launch day.
