Steak ’n Shake
Bitcoin bonuses for hourly retention
Steak ’n Shake, a leading U.S. restaurant chain, uses the Bitcoin Bonus Program to deliver bitcoin bonuses to hourly employees without replacing payroll. Employees earn a dollar-denominated bonus based on hours worked, which is converted to bitcoin and delivered via Fold on a recurring basis.
The program is designed as a discretionary bonus (not wages), supports vesting and retention mechanics, and requires no crypto setup from employees. Fold handles funding, bitcoin conversion, custody, delivery, and reporting end-to-end.
This deployment demonstrates how large, operationally complex employers can use bitcoin bonuses to improve retention and engagement while keeping payroll, compliance, and finance workflows simple.
CrowdHealth
Bitcoin member rewards with real ownership
CrowdHealth, a healthcare-cost-sharing platform, uses Fold’s infrastructure to offer bitcoin rewards and savings to its members. Through the program, CrowdHealth allocates dollar-denominated incentives that are converted to bitcoin and delivered to individual member accounts.
This allows CrowdHealth to embed bitcoin rewards directly into its product experience without managing wallets, trading, or custody.
Together, these deployments show the flexibility of the Bitcoin Bonus Program across both employee compensation and customer/member incentive use cases.
Bitcoin bonuses for salaried teams
Simple Mining, a bitcoin mining and hosting company, uses the Bitcoin Bonus Program to deliver bitcoin bonuses to its salaried employees. The company allocates a percentage of each employee's annual salary as a bitcoin bonus, accrued monthly and redeemable at year-end as part of an annual vesting schedule.
Because Simple Mining's team works alongside bitcoin every day, the bonus program creates a direct connection between what the company does and how it rewards its people. Employees track their accruing balance in the Fold app throughout the year, with no crypto setup or wallet management required on the employer's side.
This deployment demonstrates how the Bitcoin Bonus Program adapts to salaried compensation structures with annual vesting, giving employers a flexible retention tool that works beyond hourly workforce models.
