Purposes of Bitcoin 401(k) from Bitwage

Several businesses suffered a great economic loss with the closure of businesses that was necessitated due to the need to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. Businesses around the world including those from the U.S had to lay off their staff, some had difficulties in paying their staff due to low-profit turnover.

The majority were also unable to service their debt and the U.S government had to re-enact the Paycheck Protection Program by issuing Small Business Administration (SBA) loans to help businesses keep their staff employed while the latter will be able to meet basic needs whilst COVID-19 rages on. The SBA loan is designed to be forgiven if all of the company’s employees are kept on the payroll for 8 weeks and the money is used for salaries, rent, mortgage interest and utilities. Even with this generous offering, some companies may find it arduous to meet this requirement and thus births the Bitwage innovation to offer Bitcoin 401(k) to help cushion the effects.
