#特朗普向欧洲实施关税措施 According to industry sources, American fast-food chain Steak 'n Shake announced an interesting new feature: starting from March, all hourly employees at their stores can receive $BTC payments by the hour. Specifically, for each hour worked, employees will receive an additional amount of Bitcoin worth $0.21. However, this Bitcoin is not immediately accessible; employees must wait for a two-year lock-up period before they can withdraw it. The entire program is a collaboration with the Bitcoin incentive app Fold.

There is a larger context behind this move. Steak 'n Shake has previously invested $10 million directly into Bitcoin as part of the company's strategic reserve asset planning. In other words, this fast-food chain is not only embracing $BTC as an asset allocation but also trying to integrate it into their daily employee incentive system.

From a broader perspective, such operations by traditional industry giants are becoming increasingly common. They indicate that Bitcoin is gradually evolving from a purely speculative asset into an enterprise-level application tool, whether for financial reserves or incentive mechanisms. Employees can also directly access on-chain assets, which may help promote cryptocurrency awareness.
