This isn’t the first time an independent car dealership has opted to include cryptocurrency as a means of payment. Last year, Puerto Rican technology company Bots Inc BTZI enabled local dealerships to accept DOGE for pre-owned Tesla Inc TSLA cars.

Tesla doesn’t directly accept any cryptocurrency for vehicle purchases, given the environmental concerns around mining digital coins. The company has included DOGE as a payment option for merchandise on its website.

Price Action: According to data from Benzinga Pro, DOGE was trading at $0.14, up 1.09% over the past 24 hours. SHIB was trading at $0.00002521, up 0.62% over the same period.
