Starbucks is investing in the NFT by 2022, says Howard Schultz, the company’s chief executive officer. He says the company plans to invest in the nft by 2023.
Schultz returned to Starbucks as interim CEO last month after previously serving as CEO and executive chairman. He was previously the company’s chief executive officer and chairman before returning to the company as interim chief executive.
Starbucks is uniquely positioned to succeed in blockchain technology, says Schultz. He says no one, brand, celebrity, or influencer trying to develop an NFT for digital has the treasure.

The partnership lets customers track their coffee from bean to cup. Mcdonald’s joins the NFT bandwagon by creating limited edition nfts.
