Democrat Eric Adams won election Tuesday as the next mayor of New York City, and he’s already leaning into campaign promises about embracing cryptocurrency once he takes office. One part of that, it appears, is being paid in BitcoinBitcoin.
“In New York we always go big, so I’m going to take my first THREE paychecks in Bitcoin when I become mayor,” Adams tweeted this afternoon. “NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!”
Adams tweeted in response to Miami’s newly re-elected mayor Francis Suarez, who tweeted earlier this week that he would “take my next paycheck 100% in Bitcoin.” Suarez was replying to a tweeted challenge from crypto podcaster and personality Anthony Pompliano about which U.S. politician would be the first to accept his or her salary in the leading cryptocurrency.
In New York we always go big, so I’m going to take my first THREE paychecks in Bitcoin when I become mayor. NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries! Just wait!

“Touché,” Suarez tweeted to Adams today. “Congrats on the election and I look forward to the friendly competition in making our respective cities a crypto capital!”
It’s currently unclear whether the City of New York can pay Adams directly in Bitcoin. When professional athletes have claimed to accept their own salaries in Bitcoin, as seen with NFL players like Russell Okung and Sean Culkin, it has actually been in partnership with mobile payments app Strike. Essentially, the teams still paid their respective players in U.S. dollars, and then each converted the amount into Bitcoin using Strike’s service.
That appears to be what Mayor Suarez will do in Miami. Mike Sarasti, Miami’s chief innovation officer, tweeted that he sent the Strike onboarding to Suarez, and that he himself had already tested the functionality. “My experience receiving a portion of my pay last week went flawlessly,” Sarasti tweeted.
There may be more to the idea of a friendly rivalry between New York City and Miami in regards to cultivating crypto and blockchain industries within their respective cities.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Ndamukong Suh has had a celebrated NFL career to date, including a Super Bowl win this year in his 11th season. He’s also made a heap of money along the way, and suggested today that he should’ve been smarter with his money earlier in his career—and could have profited handsomely from buying Bitcoin. Today, Suh tweeted about his financial evolution, admitting that he made mistakes with money as a young professional in the league but learned healthy habits along...
On Wednesday, Adams told Bloomberg that he aims to launch a CityCoin cryptocurrency for New York City, following the lead of Miami with its branded MiamiCoin. CityCoin tweeted last week that MiamiCoin has generated nearly $20 million in revenue for Miami since launching in August.
Predictions market startup Kalshi has raised $185 million at a $2 billion valuation, the firm announced Wednesday, elevating the startup to unicorn status amid its growing foray into the crypto world. Cryptocurrency-focused venture capital firm Paradigm led the Series C round, with participation from Sequoia, Multicoin, Peng Zhao, Neo and Bond Capital, according to Mansour. Kalshi will use the funds, in part, to grow its technology team and facilitate its integration with brokers. Bloomberg firs...
As crypto treasury companies raise millions, some investors funding their pivot are cashing in as soon as they can, causing the firms’ stock prices to plummet. Within the past two weeks, SharpLink Gaming and Upexi have become notable examples, with their stock prices plunging over 60% moments after registration-of-shares filings were deemed effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The companies have relinquished most of the gains they accrued after announcing plans to stockpile...
San Francisco-based financial services company SoFi will make its return to crypto later this year, offering its users the ability to trade and hold popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, the firm announced on Wednesday. SoFi previously offered the capability to buy and sell crypto, and even acquired the notoriously difficult-to-obtain New York BitLicense in 2019—but the firm stopped offering crypto services in 2023 after “careful consideration.” The firm also mentioned plans to o...
