Steak 'n Shake to give Bitcoin bonuses to hourly workers starting March 2026.

Steak 'n Shake will begin offering Bitcoin bonuses to hourly employees starting March 2026, providing cryptocurrency valued at 21 cents per hour worked, with the company covering the cost. The initiative, part of a broader effort to enhance employee compensation, also includes joining the Trump Accounts program, which matches $1,000 contributions for each eligible employee’s child. The move marks the first known use of Bitcoin bonuses in the fast-food industry and reflects a growing trend of incorporating digital assets into worker benefits.
