Toronto-based healthcare company now has Shiba Inu on its balance sheet
Ask The Doctor, a Canadian online healthcare company, has added $1.5 million worth of Shiba Inu to its balance sheet, according to an announcement posted on its Twitter account.
Kraken made it easy to buy by seven figures. As reported by U.Today, Shiba Inu began trading on the San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange on Tuesday.
The medical information website will also begin accepting the meme cryptocurrency with its healthcare partners within the next three days.
It already allows customers to pay with Dogecoin for some services in the United States and Canada.
The Toronto-based company was launched in 2010, allowing its clients to connect with medical professionals via text messages or video streaming. Notably, its list of co-founders includes former NBA player Israel Idonije and former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo.
In 2016, Ask The Doctor began accepting Bitcoin payments, becoming the first healthcare company in the world to adopt crypto.
The reason for adding the new payment option was to offer customers who share sensitive medical data more privacy.
