Who Pays Bitcoin Salaries? These 40+ Companies Are Leading the Way

Written by Roger Huang | May 22, 2025 7:42:31 PM

Whether you’re an employee looking to save in something stronger than dollars, or an employer seeking innovative ways to support and retain your team, Bitcoin-based payroll and savings solutions are quickly gaining ground. 

Why? 

For employees, saving in Bitcoin offers more than just a paycheck—it’s a way to build long-term wealth in a world where everyday costs keep rising with inflation. It can feel like a breath of fresh air in an economy that often feels stacked against you. 

For employers, offering Bitcoin savings can act like a pay raise. It can be tough to raise salaries now - offering Bitcoin can boost morale, support retention, and signal forward-thinking leadership. 

We’re Block Rewards, the world’s leading Bitcoin compensation company, and we believe Bitcoin will play an increasingly central role in the future of compensation. With that in mind, we wanted to create a consolidated list of companies already ahead of the curve, offering their teams Bitcoin-based pay and savings options. 

If you think we’re missing someone, please get in touch with roger@blockrewards.ca and let us know! If you want a spreadsheet with all of the companies to do easy scanning, click here.
