Vida Global Pioneers Bitcoin Payroll with Voltage Credit
Vida Global, Inc., a publicly traded AI agent company that went public on NYSE American in May 2026, has adopted Voltage Credit to pay its global team members in Bitcoin while settling its balance entirely in U.S. dollars.
The company, which powers over 100 million AI agent interactions across thousands of businesses, chose Bitcoin over stablecoins due to the speed and simplicity offered by Voltage Credit.
Voltage facilitates the Bitcoin payments over the Lightning Network, and Vida settles at the end of each month like a standard vendor invoice. This approach removes the complexity associated with crypto custody and accounting overhead.
Lyle Pratt, Founder and CEO of Vida, stated that saying yes to paying team members in Bitcoin has become a practical way to attract and retain talent in markets where traditional payroll comes up short.
