As cryptocurrencies go mainstream, Canadian online healthcare company Ask The Doctor has added $1.5 million worth of Shiba Inu to its balance sheet. The company said on Twitter it would also support SHIB for payments.
The company purchased these 31.24 billion SHIB tokens through the crypto exchange Kraken.
Just last month, publicly-traded company Tokens.com Corp also bought 833 million SHIB tokens worth about $50k to provide its investors with exposure to the meme cryptocurrency.
