\nFold (FLD) Launches Bitcoin Bonus Program for Employers Through Fold Business Platform<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Fold Holdings has launched a new Bitcoin Bonus Program that lets employers offer recurring bitcoin-denominated bonuses without changing payroll systems, positioning it as the first product under its new Fold Business platform.<\/p>\n

Employers set bonus amounts in dollars on their normal payroll schedule, while Fold<\/a> handles conversion to bitcoin, custody, vesting and delivery through the Fold app.<\/p>\n

Fold describes the Bitcoin Bonus Program as an employer-grade bonus vehicle that can function both as a benefit and as a retention tool.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The company says<\/a> employees can track and hold their bitcoin over time, turning what is often a spent-on-arrival cash bonus into a longer-term asset. Vesting schedules are built into the program, which allows companies to tie bonus access to tenure or performance.<\/p>\n

Under the model, companies designate a recurring USD bonus or allocation in line with existing payroll cycles, and Fold executes real-time conversion to bitcoin at distribution. Fold also provides custody and administers vesting, so employers avoid direct exposure to digital-asset handling or additional compliance workflows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Early Fold adopters and target segments<\/h2>\n

Steak \u2019n Shake is the flagship partner<\/a> and is offering the Bitcoin Bonus Program to thousands of hourly workers across its more than 10,000-person U.S. workforce. Simple Mining<\/a>, a bitcoin mining hosting company in Iowa, is directing 1 percent of employee pay into bitcoin through the program, redeemable at year-end, to align staff with the asset they support for clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Bitcoin Bonus Program is the first step in a broader B2B strategy for Fold Business, which aims to add payroll, corporate bitcoin treasury services, corporate cards and other enterprise tools built on bitcoin rails.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last September, Fold announced<\/a> a partnership with Stripe and Visa to launch a Bitcoin-only credit card designed to simplify Bitcoin rewards for everyday spending. The card offers up to 3.5% back in Bitcoin, combining instant rewards with additional earnings for users who pay through a Fold Checking Account. It also included up to 10% Bitcoin back at selected major retailers and aims to remove the complexity of traditional crypto reward systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fold, listed on Nasdaq under the ticker FLD, already offers a consumer app, debit card, credit card and bitcoin gift card products, and views workplace bitcoin benefits as a next growth channel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As of early Thursday trading, FLD shares changed hands near the mid\u2011$1 range with a market capitalization of about $73 million.<\/p>\n
