About Block Rewards

At Block Rewards, we believe the future of employee compensation and benefits should empower people to build real financial security — not just get paid and spend.

We’re a purpose-driven company on a mission to bring the power of Bitcoin into the workplace in a meaningful, responsible, and employer-friendly way. We help forward-thinking companies offer their teams access to Bitcoin-based savings and rewards that go beyond traditional benefits, creating a stronger connection between compensation and long-term financial well-being.

Today, Block Rewards is proud to offer the Bitcoin Savings Plan (BSP) — a modern benefits solution that lets employees automatically convert a portion of their pay into Bitcoin, with flexible employer matching and seamless payroll integration. The BSP works just like traditional retirement savings plans but gives employees real ownership in Bitcoin, delivered directly to their wallets.

Built for simplicity, compliance, and adoption, the BSP helps companies:

  • Attract and retain talent with a benefit employees truly value
  • Increase engagement by aligning pay with long-term financial goals
  • Modernize their benefits package without replacing payroll systems

We handle everything from automated Bitcoin purchases to education and onboarding, so employers can focus on what matters most — supporting their people.

Block Rewards is also building the next generation of employee engagement tools, powered by Bitcoin, that will be integrated into a multi-product application set to launch soon in the U.S. These tools are designed to extend how organizations think about incentives, rewards, and financial benefits for every level of their workforce.

Our work is rooted in the belief that employee financial empowerment and innovative compensation strategies are key to thriving organizations — today and tomorrow.
