NYSE:AMC seems to be pulling out all of the stops to try and tempt movie fans to ditch movie nights at home. The COVID-19 pandemic has made movie night a tradition as people around the country steered clear of public places like cinemas. On Thursday, shares of AMC fell by 1.71% as investors shrugged off the company’s recent attempts to modernize online ticket buying.

AMC may be looking to stockpile cryptos it accepts as payment, in order to reap the rewards of future price gains. Other companies like Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA), Square (NYSE:SQ), and of course MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) have all dabbled with cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets, in hopes of capturing a future rise in value.

The campaign cost a total of $25 million, and is highlighted by the message: AMC Theatres: We Make Movies Better.
