Steak ‘n Shake adds $10 million in Bitcoin to its strategic reserve

The American fast-food chain Steak 'n Shake announced that its strategic Bitcoin reserve (SBR) has increased by $10 million, funded by its Bitcoin payments system. The chain enabled Bitcoin payments across all US locations last May using the Lightning Network, a move supported by figures like Jack Dorsey. Since implementing crypto payments, Steak 'n Shake has experienced a sales boost, reporting 15% month-over-month growth in the fourth quarter of 2025. The company stated they have created a "self-sustaining system" where sales growth expands the Bitcoin reserve. Steak 'n Shake is noted as one of the few merchants to scale Bitcoin acceptance nationwide, joining other global entities exploring crypto integration.
