KFC Canada Is Accepting Bitcoin for Fried Chicken

KFC Canada presents The #Bitcoin Bucket. Sure, we don’t know exactly what Bitcoins are, or how they work, but that shouldn’t come between you and some finger lickin’ good chicken.

As soon as Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have started their epic bull run, many large companies are accepting Bitcoins as a legitimate source of funds. These companies allow their online products to be bought with Bitcoin, amongst them WordPress.com, Microsoft, Wikipedia, and Reddit are popular.

Meanwhile in restaurants and fast food service providers this mode of payment is not much common, however, Subway – a globally renowned fast food restaurant, One Shot Hotels – a Spanish hotels chain and such others are accepting Bitcoin as a mode of payment. The latest addition to this list is quite interesting and popular. The famed fried chicken chain, KFC is accepting Bitcoin in Canada for a limited time on a cryptocurrency themed bucket of chicken.

Indeed, the company appears to be jumping on the publicity bandwagon surrounding cryptocurrencies. However, unlike some public-traded firms that have seen their stock prices soar after announcing some kind of tie-in with the tech, the move doesn't seem to have had much of an effect on the price for Yum! Brands, KFC's parent company.

In one post on Twitter, the rep managing the KFC Canada account suggested that the company may accept other cryptocurrencies as well.
