Eric Adams said he plans to "take my first three paychecks" in bitcoin once he starts his new job as New York City's mayor in January, upstaging his counterpart in Miami and even some CEOs who run cryptocurrency companies.
Two days after winning the mayoral race, the Brooklyn Democrat used Twitter to announce how he will be paid initially as a public servant. Adams tweeted his three-paycheck crypto gambit after reading a tweet from Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, who said he plans to accept one paycheck in bitcoin.
"NYC is going to be the center of the cryptocurrency industry and other fast-growing, innovative industries," Adams tweeted.
