The Dogecoin community immediately reacted to the tweet, resulting in a surge in the price of this memecoin.

Burger King’s recent discussions about DOGE have generated a lot of excitement, particularly among fans of the cryptocurrency who are hoping that the fastfood chain will start accepting their preferred digital currencies.
Burger King’s Interest in DOGE
In a move that sparked increased attention towards Dogecoin, Burger King Brazil made an exciting announcement in 2021 that its Dogpper dog snack would be available for purchase with the cryptocurrency. The fastfood giant went on to promote the product across the country through an advertisement, bringing further exposure to Dogecoin.

Later that same year, Burger King and Robinhood collaborated to offer US customers a crypto giveaway that included an impressive 20 Bitcoins, 200 Ether, and 2 million Dogecoins.
Despite these crypto-friendly initiatives, it remains uncertain whether Burger King UK plans to enable customers to buy meals with Dogecoin at its restaurants.
