Michigan Proposes Bitcoin Salary Option for State Employees by 2027

Michigan State Representative Matt Maddock has introduced legislation that would enable state employees to receive their salaries in Bitcoin or other digital currencies starting in 2027. According to NS3.AI, the bill requires Bitcoin to be one of at least six digital currency payment options available for payroll, while prohibiting the use of any state-issued or central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). This initiative is part of a larger set of pro-Bitcoin laws in Michigan, aimed at increasing digital asset adoption and safeguarding Bitcoin usage within the state.
