Brazilian lawmakers are considering new legislation that would
officially authorize employers to pay salaries to employees using
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
Federal deputy Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança has
introduced a bill proposing regulation of crypto payments for
wages, remunerations and labor benefits.
Filed on
March 12, the bill PL 957/2025 legalizes voluntary and partial
salary payments in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin
(BTC) while also
requiring employers to proceed with a part of the pay in the
national currency, the Brazilian real.

Orleans-Braganza, a descendant of Brazil’s former royal family,
is serving
his second term as a federal deputy for São Paulo and
supports Truth Social, the social media platform owned by US
President Donald Trump.
Bitcoin may only account for 50% of a salary payout
In the proposed legislation, Orleans-Braganza asked lawmakers to
prohibit employees from paying full salaries in crypto, capping
such payments at 50%.
“The payment of salaries exclusively in virtual assets is
prohibited,” except for cases involving expatriate employees or
foreign workers, under the terms of regulations by the Central Bank
of Brazil.

The bill also allows full crypto payments by “independent
service providers,” subject to certain contractual provisions.
Otherwise, the share of the payment in the Brazilian real may
not be less than 50% of the employee’s total salary
payout.
The conversion of the amount paid into crypto must follow the
exchange rate officially established by an institution authorized
by the Central Bank of Brazil.
This is a developing
story, and further information will be added as it becomes
available.
