Steak 'n Shake to Add $0.21 Bitcoin Bonus Per Hour for Staff From March 1, 2026

Steak 'n Shake plans to introduce a Bitcoin bonus of $0.21 for every hour worked by hourly employees starting March 1, 2026, in partnership with the Fold rewards app. The bonus, which can total about $436 annually for a full-time worker, will vest after two years and has drawn both criticism over its limited value and praise as a way to familiarize staff with cryptocurrency. During this rollout, Bitcoin is trading around $88,732 with weekly losses reflecting broader market pressures.
