New York-based fast food chain Shake Shack has introduced a Bitcoin cashback option for its customers in partnership with Cash App, the app of digital payments company Block.
From now on, they will be able to receive a 15% reward in the largest cryptocurrency for every purchase made with the help of Block's Cash Card, a debit card linked to the customer's balance.
