German tech magazine t3n has announced it will now allow employees to receive a portion of their salary in bitcoin.
The news is the result of a partnership between t3n and local bitcoin startup PEY, which is now developing a payment solution for bitcoin merchants with US-based startup BitPay.
t3n said it has been conducting a trial of the payroll service since November, with employees receiving €20 worth of bitcoin with each paycheck. From here, however, workers will be able to adjust this payment, depending on their risk tolerance.
In a blog post, the magazine said it sought to embark on the trial as a way to boost the wider bitcoin ecosystem and to learn more about the technology, writing:
