Japanese consulting firm RemixPoint marks his historic milestone as the first publicly-published company in the country to fully pay CEOs' salary in Bitcoin.
In an official press release, the company's CEO Takahashi Yoshihiko initially explained that it was his own decision to receive a salary from the company at BTC (BTC). He viewed the move as a declaration of loyalty to the company's Bitcoin strategy and working with shareholders.
“My decision to receive the entire Bitcoin compensation is a clear signal that I am 'on the same boat' as my shareholder,” Yoshihiko said.
The announcement stated that shareholders have urged RemixPoint management to hold shares in the company, ensuring that the company's fate is linked to the shareholder's fate. However, RemixPoint argued that it could not hold its own shares due to several regulatory constraints, including concerns about insider trading.
Therefore, the company provided an alternative solution. This was to pay the president's salary in full in Bitcoin.
“By receiving compensation in Bitcoin, the company's leadership shares the same economic fate with shareholders and promotes a system of aligning economic value with investors,” the company wrote in a statement.
