Miami Mayor Francis Suarez pledged Tuesday to take his next paycheck entirely in bitcoin.
In a tweet, the pro-crypto mayor positioned himself as one of the only U.S. political leaders taking their salary in bitcoin.
The mayor of the city of Miami earns a salary of $187,500, according to the Miami Herald. Suarez, who is up for re-election Tuesday, appeared ready to use fintech Strike’s dollar-to-bitcoin conversion service. His innovation deputy Mike Sarasti tweeted that he’d sent the mayor a Strike sign-up link after successfully cashing some of his most recent paycheck in bitcoin through the service.
