In-N-Out does not currently accept Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency, and there is no official statement indicating a change. However, the tweet has fueled speculation on whether crypto payments could become a reality in fast food.
Other brands have already explored similar moves. In March 2024, Compass Coffee in Washington, D.C., partnered with Coinbase to offer discounts for payments made in USDC. In El Salvador, where Bitcoin is legal tender, Starbucks began accepting it as payment.
