In brief

  • Restaurant chain Steak ‘n Shake said it has added $10 million in Bitcoin exposure.
  • The company previously established a Bitcoin reserve and is holding all BTC payments made to its business.
  • Steak ‘n Shake began accepting Bitcoin payments last year and has credited the move with boosting sales.

American restaurant chain Steak ‘n Shake said that it has added $10 million worth of Bitcoin exposure, once more crediting the top crypto asset with helping to drive growing same-store sales after the brand began accepting BTC payments last year.

“Eight months ago today, Steak n Shake launched its burger-to-Bitcoin transformation when we started accepting Bitcoin payments. Our same-store sales have risen dramatically ever since,” the firm wrote on X late Friday.

“All Bitcoin sales go into our Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” the post continued. “Today, we increased our Bitcoin exposure by $10,000,000 in notional value.”

Notional value refers to the face value of a financial contract, rather than suggesting that Steak ‘n Shake purchased and is holding $10 million worth of Bitcoin. Decrypt reached out to Steak ‘n Shake for clarification on the addition and further comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

In October, Steak ‘n Shake said that it had established its own “strategic Bitcoin reserve” by holding onto all Bitcoin payments received from food and drink sales. That month, the restaurant launched a Bitcoin Steakburger with a Bitcoin logo branded on the top bun, and offered $5 in free BTC to meal buyers via a collaboration with Bitcoin financial services firm, Fold.

“We have created a self-sustaining system—growing same-store sales that grow the SBR,” the firm said Friday. “Improving food quality expands Steak ‘n Shake’s reach and leverages Bitcoin into a new and delicious dimension.”

Steak ‘n Shake publicly weighed expanding its Bitcoin embrace into another cryptocurrency, asking X users for feedback in October on whether or not it should also accept Ethereum payments at its stores.

Despite early poll results in favor of the Ethereum move and initially saying that it would “abide by the results,” the restaurant changed course following pushback from Bitcoin maximalists.

“Poll suspended. Our allegiance is with Bitcoiners,” it posted on X. “You have spoken.”

Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps

The post Fed Makes First Rate Cut of the Year, Lowers Rates by 25 Bps appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Federal Reserve has made its first Fed rate cut this year following today’s FOMC meeting, lowering interest rates by 25 basis points (bps). This comes in line with expectations, while the crypto market awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech for guidance on the committee’s stance moving forward. FOMC Makes First Fed Rate Cut This Year With 25 Bps Cut In a press release, the committee announced that it has decided to lower the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 bps from between 4.25% and 4.5% to 4% and 4.25%. This comes in line with expectations as market participants were pricing in a 25 bps cut, as against a 50 bps cut. This marks the first Fed rate cut this year, with the last cut before this coming last year in December. Notably, the Fed also made the first cut last year in September, although it was a 50 bps cut back then. All Fed officials voted in favor of a 25 bps cut except Stephen Miran, who dissented in favor of a 50 bps cut. This rate cut decision comes amid concerns that the labor market may be softening, with recent U.S. jobs data pointing to a weak labor market. The committee noted in the release that job gains have slowed, and that the unemployment rate has edged up but remains low. They added that inflation has moved up and remains somewhat elevated. Fed Chair Jerome Powell had also already signaled at the Jackson Hole Conference that they were likely to lower interest rates with the downside risk in the labor market rising. The committee reiterated this in the release that downside risks to employment have risen. Before the Fed rate cut decision, experts weighed in on whether the FOMC should make a 25 bps cut or…
