Steak 'n Shake Adopts Bitcoin for Employee Payroll and Strategic Reserves

Bitcoin Payroll Option: Steak 'n Shake will allow employees to receive part of their pay in Bitcoin starting December 17, 2025, following the company's acceptance of Bitcoin for customer payments since May 2025.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: The company has established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to manage Bitcoin payments, aiming to reduce transaction fees and enhance financial management for employees.

High Transaction Volume: The launch day saw significant engagement from the crypto community, with Steak 'n Shake reporting that 1 out of every 500 Bitcoin transactions globally occurred at their locations.

Regulatory Considerations: The rollout of this initiative depends on jurisdictions that permit Bitcoin use, and it may influence other businesses to consider digital currency options in their payment systems.
