In a landmark move for crypto integration, Fold has partnered with Steak ’n Shake to launch the first-ever Bitcoin-themed meal promotion in the United States. Starting October 31, 2025, customers can earn a $5 Bitcoin reward when they purchase either a Bitcoin Meal or a Bitcoin Steakburger at participating Steak ’n Shake locations nationwide.
The promotion, available at roughly 400 restaurants, marks the first time a U.S. restaurant chain has bundled meals with Bitcoin rewards, underscoring the accelerating mainstream embrace of digital currency.
How It Works
To redeem the reward, customers must upload their receipt to www.bitcoinmealdeal.com and use the Fold app, which facilitates Bitcoin cashback and rewards. The offer runs while supplies last, making it a limited-time opportunity for both crypto enthusiasts and everyday diners looking to earn Bitcoin effortlessly.
Fold CEO Will Reeves described the collaboration as “the next step in making Bitcoin an everyday experience.” The initiative expands on Fold’s mission to help consumers earn, spend, and interact with Bitcoin through familiar brands and activities.
Bitcoin on the Menu
Steak ’n Shake’s Bitcoin Steakburger adds a visual twist, featuring a bun stamped with the Bitcoin logo. The promotion aligns with the restaurant’s growing affinity for digital currency. Earlier this year, in May 2025, Steak ’n Shake became one of the first major U.S. dining chains to accept Bitcoin payments directly, setting the stage for this latest partnership.
Fold’s Expanding Mainstream Push
Fold, a NASDAQ-listed company (FLD) specializing in Bitcoin financial services, says this is only the beginning. The firm plans a series of upcoming partnerships designed to weave Bitcoin rewards into everyday consumer life, spanning retail, entertainment, and dining sectors.
By merging crypto rewards with a recognizable American brand, Fold and Steak ’n Shake are bridging the gap between traditional spending and digital finance, turning a simple burger purchase into a step toward broader Bitcoin adoption.
A Taste of the Future
As Fold continues to roll out mainstream integrations, the Bitcoin Meal promotion could signal a new era where earning Bitcoin becomes as easy, and as common, as grabbing lunch.
For now, fans of both burgers and blockchain can enjoy a bite of history, and a little Bitcoin on the side.
