Overview
A consumer-brand Bitcoin adoption datapoint: Steak ’n Shake says accepting Bitcoin payments has coincided with a sustained lift in same-store sales over nine months, and it describes routing Bitcoin receipts into a reserve that also supports worker incentives. The story frames Bitcoin not only as a payment option, but as part of an internal treasury-and-compensation loop tied to customer demand.
