Burger King has stirred up the cryptocurrency community by posting just a short message on social message. The fast-food chain appears to be teasing its Twitter followers and customers about crypto, and this has caught the attention of many.

Burger King UK posted a tweet last weekend and mentioned it is creating a BiteCoin. It was not a direct announcement about a company-branded digital token, but the post sparked excitement among the crypto community, including Dogecoin.

The Whopper Burger maker simply tweeted on Sunday, April 9, “brb I’m making BiteCoin,” but the modern slang abbreviation and three words are enough to gain so much attention, with many people also mentioning doge or Dogecoin.

Then again, Burger King did not post any other information about BiteCoin, so there are people who are saying that this could be just another ploy to be noticed as it could be introducing something later. They also mentioned how McDonald’s previously pulled the same stunt when it tweeted about Grimacecoin, which turned out to be a joke.

On the other hand, there are people in the crypto community that believe that Burger King UK may be getting ready to launch its crypto payment option where it would accept DOGE for meal purchases. But it should be noted that this is just a highly speculative assumption since there is no official statement from the burger joint about crypto payments in its stores.

Meanwhile, the value of DOGE jumps following the cryptic Burger King UK crypto tweet. Dogecoin was said to have increased 10% over the last week as some investors started to guess what the tweet from the fast food giant meant. Prior to its BiteCoin post, the company tweeted an “office doge,” and this has gathered a lot of responses from the public, commenting they want it as a payment option.
