Steak ‘n Shake, an American fast food industry, pays all hourly employees a Bitcoin bonus of 21 cents per hour starting March 1, according to a statement published on X. The company said the initiative applies to every hourly worker and forms part of a broader compensation structure that also includes a $1,000 contribution to Trump Accounts for employees’ children.

Steak ’n Shake added $5 million of Bitcoin to its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and now holds a total of $15 million. The prior $10 million increase was disclosed on Jan. 18.

Steak ‘n Shake has marked eight months since integrating Bitcoin payments across its U.S. restaurant locations, reporting a notable rise in store sales since the launch. The company has committed all Bitcoin received from customer transactions into its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), a treasury system designed to accumulate the cryptocurrency directly from operational sales rather than external purchases.
