Miami’s Mayor Francis Suarez has resorted to taking his next paycheck fully in , a move that positions him as the first known US politician to take such a decision.

He made it clear on Twitter that he intends to make Bitcoin his sole source of income. The pro-Bitcoin mayor has worked hard to integrate Bitcoin in his city operations.

Responded to Anthony Pompliano’s tweet asking who would be the first US politician to accept their salary in BTC, Suarez said:

I’m going to take my next paycheck 100% in bitcoin…problem solved.

In order to make the decision easier, the mayor asked Mike Sarasti, Miami’s Chief Informant. Sarasti stated that he had already provided a Strike link for the mayor to sign up with in order to send him his Bitcoin paycheck.
