Remixpoint isn't the first company to pay executives in bitcoin, and Takashi Tashiro isn't the first CEO to start the trend of receiving salaries in bitcoin.
In March 2021, a cryptocurrency-related company, Argo Blockchain, based in the UK, used bitcoin to pay its CEO Peter Wall. He is the first CEO of a public company to be paid his entire salary in Bitcoin. He also said that his idea of receiving his salary in bitcoin was inspired by American football player Okung, who asked to receive part of his salary in Bitcoin in 2020.
