That move shows that the CEO supports Bitcoin and wants them to know that he's also ready to receive it as payment. Such a move—even if the CEO wants to make a conversion by selling the Bitcoin—he will think twice because the wallet will be under watch since the wallet will be sent to the financial team to drop the payment, but that's all the decision of the CEO to make, as the money belongs to him.
Such a move by the CEO can certainly be considered a positive aspect. Those who are under his control will also be inspired by him, not only inspired but also benefited. Those who want to receive their salary in Bitcoin must also make a good plan to hold Bitcoin because only when they find confidence in it can they accept such a policy. If others follow him, then everyone will definitely benefit. Moreover, it will be clear for what purpose he wants to take Bitcoin through his salary by tracking his address. After all, I can consider taking salary in Bitcoin positively even if I spend all the Bitcoin.

May I ask, if the company's employees follow him and also decide to receive their salaries in bitcoin, what benefit does that bring to them? What are the benefits of getting paid in bitcoin for your main job?

I don't know what the benefits are but the first downside I see is that his or those employees' privacy will be significantly affected. Because company or someone can track what their money is used for, where it's spent...and to me that's an invasion of privacy. Would you feel comfortable if someone knew your bitcoin wallet address and tracked your every move?
