Steak ‘n Shake, a fast-food restaurant chain that accepts Bitcoin (BTC) payments at its stores, announced on Friday that its BTC corporate treasury grew by $10 million in notional value.

“All Bitcoin sales go into our strategic Bitcoin reserve,” the company said, adding that adopting BTC as a treasury asset has led to a flywheel effect that increases same-store sales, which, in turn, grows the company’s BTC stash.

In May 2025, the company announced it would start accepting BTC as a method of payment at all its locations worldwide, in a phased rollout.

The Bitcoin community celebrated the announcement, with many sharing their Steak ‘n Shake receipts showing payment in BTC, and in November 2025, the company announced its expansion into El Salvador, a country known for its pro-Bitcoin policies.

Cointelegraph reached out to Steak ‘n Shake, but did not receive a response by the time of publication. 

The company’s decision to accept BTC for payments showcases the growing adoption of Bitcoin payments by businesses, bolstering Bitcoin’s use as a medium of exchange, rather than simply as a store-of-value asset or a speculative financial instrument.

Steak ‘n Shake’s quarter-over-quarter same-store sales rose by 11% in Q2 2025, which it attributed to its adoption of Bitcoin.

The Q3 2025 same-store sales increased by 15%, according to Steak ‘n Shake, beating out industry competitors including McDonalds, Domino’s, and Taco Bell.

The company’s decision to adopt Bitcoin followed the closure of 230 of its stores between 2018 and 2025. Steak ‘n Shake locations inside the US peaked at 628 in 2018, but declined to 394 by 2026, according to data from ScrapeHero.

More companies should adopt BTC as a financial buffer, Bitcoin investor and financial accountant Rajat Soni said in response to Steak ‘n Shake.

“If they do this, they will find it much easier to succeed because their Bitcoin is like a backstop. I think most businesses fail because they aren’t in the market long enough. Bitcoin extends your financial endurance,” he added.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
