Another individual who is opting to receive their salary in cryptocurrency is the Miami Mayor Francis Suarez who just recently announced that he is planning on his next check coming to him in btc.
This looks to mark the first American politician who is accepting their payment for salary in bitcoin, as the interest grows around the U.S. and elsewhere with more athletes, politicians, and others, looking into the crypto market.
There is also a plan allegedly underway that would see city workers in Miami get paid in bitcoin, it might not be that much longer before we start to see many more people opting to get paid in bitcoin.
There is also hope that the new NYC mayor, Eric Adams, is also going to embrace bitcoin and cryptocurrency, turning NYC into a crypto-friendly hub.
Other mayoral candidates have also pledged to turn NYC into the most crypto-friendly city in the nation.
The interest seems to be growing rapidly by the day for bitcoin salaries and for more companies getting interested in leveraging the popularity and value of cryptocurrency for marketing purposes, customer retention, and more.
