Fast food chain Steak 'n Shake will award bonuses to hourly employees in the form of bitcoin

PANews, February 15—According to MLive, American fast-food chain Steak 'n Shake has announced that it will grant bitcoin bonuses to hourly employees at its company-operated stores. Starting March 1, employees will accumulate $0.21 in bitcoin per working hour, which can be claimed after a two-year vesting period. Based on a 40-hour work week, employees can accumulate approximately $436.80 worth of bitcoin per year. The final value will depend on bitcoin's market price after two years.

The chain began accepting bitcoin payments at select locations under certain conditions last year, with all bitcoin sales revenue going into the company's "strategic bitcoin reserve."
