The Bitcoin Benefit Plan is a simple yet effective way for employers to share the future of money with their teams. This is achieved by setting up a monthly benefit for your employees and sending Bitcoin straight to their Swan account with every pay cycle.
Employees will also receive a 5-week educational journey, ensuring they are looked after and provided with the information they need in order to understand the importance of Bitcoin.
We welcome both employers and employees to join the Swan community where you’ll find leading education and exceptional Swan service.
