lol, this is dumb that adding a cryptocurrency would have that profound impact on their stock. Just pay them in USD or some other currency with real-world proven value.
Euphoria and bounded rationality... People see Crypto + Public Traded Company and they lose their shit. Especially true for a company that has struggled so much to compete in the market for the last 15 years...
Yeah, but that wouldn't move their stock price by a single red cent. This is also about profiting from hype. Viewed that way, it's a rip-roaring success. In every other way, it's stupid.
