    Mar 24 2026
    What happens when you give 130 employees a $30,000 bonus... and they forget they got it? That's exactly what pushed Mike Coffey, CEO of BlueCotton, to do something radical: pay employees in Bitcoin. Mike runs a 130-person custom apparel company in Bowling Green, Kentucky — and he's quietly turning his small business into a Bitcoin case study. In this episode, we dig into why he made the switch, how it's impacting his employees' financial futures, what it's done for his bottom line, and why Bitcoin is the only bonus people actually remember. If you're a business owner wondering whether Bitcoin is right for your company — this is the episode that will change your mind. ---- Order Natalie's new book "Bitcoin is For Everyone," a simple introduction to Bitcoin and what's broken in our current financial system: https://amzn.to/3WzFzfU --- Coin Stories is powered by Gemini.
