Odaily Odaily reports that Steak 'n Shake, the American fast-food chain, has announced a partnership with the Fold app to award Bitcoin bonuses to all hourly employees at its company-owned stores. Starting March 1, 2026, eligible employees will receive $0.21 worth of Bitcoin for each hour worked, with a two-year vesting period. Based on a 40-hour work week, employees could accumulate approximately $436.80 worth of Bitcoin annually.
This move is part of the brand's Bitcoin strategy. Steak 'n Shake began accepting Bitcoin payments last year and included its sales revenue in its "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR)." On January 16th of this year, the company added another $10 million to its Bitcoin position. Steak 'n Shake stated that accepting Bitcoin not only increased same-store sales by 10% but also saved 50% on transaction processing fees. (MLive)
