Japanese Firm Remixpoint Pays CEO in Bitcoin: A Groundbreaking Move!

CEO Yoshihiko Takahashi Takes Salary in BTC, Aligning with Shareholders

Hang onto your hats, crypto fans! Remixpoint, a Japanese consulting firm, just made history as the first publicly listed company in the country to pay their CEO's salary 100% in Bitcoin. That's right, folks, Remixpoint is diving deep into the crypto waters!

In a bold press release, CEO Yoshihiko Takahashi dropped the bomb that it was his own call to get his salary in BTC from the company. He's not just talking the talk; he's walking the walk, showing his unwavering commitment to Remixpoint's Bitcoin strategy and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with shareholders.

"My decision to take my entire paycheck in Bitcoin screams that I'm all in with our shareholders," Yoshihiko declared. No half-measures here!

Shareholders had been pushing Remixpoint's management to hold company stocks, wanting everyone to sink or swim together. But Remixpoint hit a regulatory wall, unable to hold its own stocks due to insider trading worries. So, what did they do? They came up with a killer alternative: pay the President's salary entirely in Bitcoin!

"By getting paid in Bitcoin, our leadership shares the same economic rollercoaster as our shareholders, tying our fates together and aligning our economic values with our investors," the company boldly stated.

At press time, Bitcoin took a tiny detour from its week-long rally, dipping just 0.45% in the last 24 hours. The king of crypto is currently trading at $108,461. But don't sweat it, folks; Bitcoin's been on a tear, up 1.59% in the past week and soaring 3.3% over the last two weeks!

Companies worldwide are scrambling to get their hands on Bitcoin, issuing shares and making subscription sales to beef up their corporate BTC treasuries. But Remixpoint? They're not just following the crowd; they're leading the charge as one of the first institutions to pay salaries in BTC.

Unlike the latecomers, Remixpoint is an OG in the game, holding BTC on its balance sheet since September 2024. According to Bitcoin Treasuries, they're sitting on a cool 1,051 BTC, worth an estimated $114.03 million. Now that's what I call a crypto powerhouse!
