- Reports claim Steak ‘n Shake will pay staff in Bitcoin.
- No primary sources confirm Bitcoin payroll adoption.
- Steak ‘n Shake uses Bitcoin for payments and reserves.
Fast food giant Steak ‘n Shake announced at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference that it would begin accepting Bitcoin payments globally where legally permitted, implemented by their executive team.
This move signifies Steak ‘n Shake’s commitment to adopting cryptocurrency, potentially reducing transaction fees and increasing sales, while affecting Bitcoin’s corporate adoption landscape without confirming payroll changes.
Reports have emerged about Steak ‘n Shake planning to pay staff with Bitcoin, but the claim lacks verification from any primary sources. The company has been involved in integrating Bitcoin payments and rewards programs globally.
Steak ‘n Shake has engaged with prominent figures like Dan Edwards and Will Reeves, focusing on expanding Bitcoin adoption within their operations. Despite secondary mentions, there is no confirmed corporate shift to Bitcoin payroll.
The claims have drawn attention to the potential impacts on the fast-food industry if such a payment system were adopted. The use of Bitcoin could reduce processing fees and attract tech-savvy employees.
Financial implications could include reduced transaction fees and increased same-store sales. The uncertainty around the claims affects stakeholder perception without official statements confirming Bitcoin wages.
Steak ‘n Shake’s engagement with Bitcoin raises questions about potential regulatory challenges. Any shift towards a Bitcoin payroll would require compliance with U.S. labor and tax laws.
Insights show a positive impact on sales and transaction costs, but regulatory clarity is crucial for a Bitcoin payroll system. With no formal documentation, the focus remains on their existing Bitcoin payment systems.
Will Reeves, Chairman and CEO of Fold, said, “Bitcoin goes mainstream when it starts showing up in everyday life. That’s been our vision from the beginning and our promotion with Steak ‘n Shake is the next step in that journey.” – KuCoin
