In January, it announced that it had added $10 million in Bitcoin to its strategic reserve. Earlier this year, Chief MAHA Officer Michael Boes told the Bitcoin 2026 Conference that Bitcoin had become a core driver of business performance, citing same-store sales growth of 11% quarter over quarter in Q2 2025 and 15% in Q3 2025. He also said Bitcoin payments on Lightning were cheaper and faster than traditional electronic payment methods, with the company saving roughly 50% on processing fees when customers paid with Bitcoin instead of credit cards.910
