According to local media outlet KNWA, the Northwest Arkansas Council is offering a sum of $10,000 in Bitcoin to entice remote tech professionals to relocate to the region. Fayetteville, Rogers, Bentonville, and Springdale are all part of the region.
Aside from the Bitcoin, tech professionals who visit Arkansas will receive a street or mountain bike.
"This expanded incentive offer—Bitcoin and a bike—not only embraces the growing trend of employers using cryptocurrency as a payment option, but it also helps increase our pipeline of talent to benefit tech employers, startups, cities, local businesses, and the region as a whole," said Nelson Peacock, president and CEO.
