There were no solid details but the company boss did make some revealing comments.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe\u2019ve made a lot of noise in the last few months about getting hyperactive in cryptocurrency.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He then canvassed the possibility of AMC issuing its own coin, stating: \u201cThere are a lot of reasons why AMC could be a successful issuer of cryptocurrency as well as a redeemer of cryptocurrency.\u201d He added that this was just one of half a dozen ideas the company is working on at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>AMC is very forward-looking with regards to digital assets. In August, the firm stated that it intended to have the infrastructure in place to accept Bitcoin payments for movie tickets by the end of this year.<\/p>\n<p>The following month, the theater giant expanded on those crypto payment options by including Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash. At the time, Aron commented that moviegoers were keen to use crypto as a payment method for their tickets and concessions at AMC theatres.<\/p>\n<p>In early October, AMC added Dogecoin to the list of crypto payment options following a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> poll that Aron created that resulted in 68% voting for DOGE from more than 140,000 participants.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I sincerely want to hear your opinion, via this Twitter Poll. By year-end 2021, AMC will take Bitcoin, Etherum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash for online payments. I hear from many on my Twitter feed we should accept Dogecoin too. Do you think AMC should explore accepting Dogecoin?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Adam Aron (@CEOAdam) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CEOAdam\/status\/1440350526768484361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 21, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>On Oct. 6, the company announced digital gift cards that can be purchased with crypto and redeemed for tickets and AMC e-card purchases.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related:<\/em><\/strong><strong><em> <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>AMC Theatres debuts crypto payments for e-gift card purchases<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Token issuance for listed companies in the U.S. may be no easy task with ever-increasing regulatory hurdles to overcome.
