NYDIG Inks a Multi-Year Partnership Deal With the MLB’s New York Yankees
According to the bitcoin firm NYDIG’s announcement on Thursday, the company has entered a multi-year partnership with the American baseball team the New York Yankees. NYDIG says that the deal will provide Yankees’ employees access to the company’s Bitcoin Savings Plan (BSP). The BSP product from NYDIG will give members of the Yankees organization the ability to convert a fraction of their payroll check into bitcoin (BTC). Employees can access this benefit via the NYDIG platform and there are no transaction or storage fees associated with the BSP product. NYDIG says that “dozens of leading companies” already leverage NYDIG’s BSP service benefits. Aryn Sobo, the Yankees’ vice president of human resources, employment, and labor law, detailed that the baseball club is “always looking for innovative ways to expand and improve our employee experience.” The move comes at a time when young employees are choosing to get a portion of their pay in BTC. NYDIG research indicates that 36% of employees under 30 are interested in getting this type of payment. Sobo further remarked that “NYDIG made it easy to add Bitcoin to our roster of benefits.” The Yankees’ vice president of human resources added:We look forward to leveraging the NYDIG platform to offer this opportunity to our employees.
