According to a previous announcement, AMC cinemas now accept cryptocurrencies as payment for online purchases.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin are accepted.

Previously, the company promised to accept cryptocurrencies for the purchase of online tickets and concessions before the end of the year.

"Great news flash!" wrote CEO Adam Aron on Twitter Thursday night. โ€œAs promised, many new ways NOW to pay online at AMC. Now we proudly accept: drumroll pleaseโ€ฆ Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin. Also Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal. Incredibly, they already represent 14% of our total online transactions! Dogecoin below ".

Earlier this week, Aron defended himself after he sold about $ 25 million of his shares in the company, causing the share price to drop.

He tweeted Wednesday: โ€œ62.5% of my annual salary is AMC stock, not cash. He hadn't sold a single AMC share in 6 years. I said it publicly months ago and again on Monday, now at 67, it's wise to diversify assets for estate planning. I STILL HAVE OVER 2 MILLION OWNED / GRANTED AMC SHARES. I believe in AMC. "
