Steak 'n Shake has announced that they will begin accepting Bitcoin payments at all locations in the United States starting May 16, 2025, a move that marks one of the largest Bitcoin integrations in the fast food industry.
This step was preceded by a social media campaign since March 2025, including polls asking whether they should accept Bitcoin, which received support from figures like Jack Dorsey.
Steak 'n Shake has also updated their website to prominently feature Bitcoin, demonstrating their commitment to crypto adoption.
This initiative coincides with significant moments like Bitcoin Pizza Day on May 22, and is seen as a strategic move to attract tech-savvy customers while positioning Steak 'n Shake as a pioneer in digital payments in the fast food sector.
