Tampa Mayor Open to Accepting Pay in Bitcoin

Tampa mayor Jane Castor implied on Twitter today that she may be willing to accept at least a portion of her pay in Bitcoin. The news appears to derive from comments the mayor made this morning at the Florida Bitcoin and Blockchain Summit, which she later validated on social media.

Another Mayor Open to Bitcoin

Tampa mayor Jane Castor implied on Twitter this morning that she would be open to accepting pay in Bitcoin. In response to Miami mayor Francis Suarez’s tweet concerning his own decision to accept his next paycheck in Bitcoin, Mayor Castor tweeted that she was “up for the challenge.”

Castor is just the latest of a number of American local politicians working to promote their cities as hubs for the nascent cryptocurrency industry, including the aforementioned Francis Suarez of Miami, who has agreed to take at least one payment in Bitcoin , as well as the new Mayor-Elect of New York City, Eric Adams, who has agreed to accept his first three paychecks in the cryptocurrency.

Twitter was first abuzz with rumors this morning surrounding the revelation, which apparently derived from comments the mayor made today at the Florida Bitcoin and Blockchain Summit , currently taking place. While intriguing, Mayor Castor’s “up for the challenge” tweet was not accompanied by a formal public statement to the effect that she would accept her pay in cryptocurrency. However, Mayor Castor appeared to confirm the rumor later in the day by sharing a tweet that publicized the news.

The mayor commented on the retweet, “Champa Bay is a leader in everything from sports to tech — why not #Bitcoin? Tampa is ready to be the next big hotspot for cryptocurrency.”

Details concerning what portion of the mayor’s pay will be in the form of Bitcoin were not made available.
