Adam Aron, CEO of AMC, is considering the potential adoption of Shiba-Inu crypto payments, according to a report by Bitcoin.com.
He sought public opinion with a Twitter poll on Friday (October 29th).
TWITTER SURVEY # 2: As you know, you can now buy AMC gift cards with cryptocurrency, and our IT group is writing code so that we will soon be able to accept online payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Dogecoin. Should we try to use Shiba Inu too?

The poll won 140.858 Votes at the time of this report. There are still two days until the end of the survey.
So far, the poll has received 87% of the votes for introducing Shiba Inu.
In September, the theater chain conducted a poll on whether Dogecoin should be accepted as a form of payment, which resulted in an overwhelming majority of voters choosing to do so.
SO FASCINATING! Dogecoin Poll was by far the best tweet I have ever read. In 24 hours, 4.2 million views, most retweets, most replies. 140,000 votes 77% yes 23% no. It is clear that you are thinking that AMC should accept Dogecoin. Now we have to figure out how to do it. Stay tuned! pic.twitter.com/tkClzgMBMO
