Famous American fast-food chain Steak'n Shake recently announced a bold move—starting from March 1, 2023, the company will offer Bitcoin salary options to all employees, paying an hourly wage equivalent to $0.21 in BTC. This BTC asset will be distributed in a two-year vesting schedule, and employees will be free to withdraw after the full cycle.

This adjustment to the compensation policy is part of the company's broader Bitcoin strategy. Earlier, on January 17, Steak'n Shake announced that it had allocated $10 million in Bitcoin assets to its balance sheet, officially incorporating BTC into its corporate treasury management.

This series of actions reflects that more and more traditional business institutions are taking Bitcoin and crypto assets seriously, not only as investment holdings but also exploring integrating them into daily operations and employee incentive systems. For those interested in BTC ecosystem applications, such cases are worth paying attention to—they confirm that digital assets are gradually penetrating from financial markets into real business scenarios.
