BitHide Case Study: Automating Crypto Payroll Without the Chaos

Many companies in iGaming and related industries are shifting to business crypto payments. It’s convenient, especially when the team is distributed across different countries, currencies, and time zones. However, the simple idea to pay employees in crypto often turns into a complex operational task: human errors (nearly every fifth payroll contains them), loss of funds, disputes, and manual work.

For businesses, this isn’t just inconvenient — it brings real financial, reputational, and organizational risks. In this case study, we explain how BitHide helped an iGaming company build a stable, transparent, and secure crypto payroll automation system for cryptocurrency salary payments.

The Challenge

A company with a team of 130 people switched to crypto payments for employees to eliminate conversion costs and speed up settlements. But chaos quickly followed:

• Payment errors. Token standard mismatches (ERC-20 instead of TRC-20) and typos in wallet addresses caused loss of funds.
• Overloaded HR and finance teams. Every month, dozens of hours were spent checking transactions, answering questions, and compensating for mistakes.
• Lack of transparency. Management had no tools for control — reports had to be compiled manually.
• Security risks. Employees used third-party, often unreliable wallets and exchanges where funds could be frozen, compromised, or stolen.

The company needed a solution that would:

• centralize crypto payroll operations;
• eliminate human error;
• reduce operational costs;
• maintain privacy of transactions and data.

The Solution

BitHide proposed implementing a crypto payroll automation project — a tool for secure and automated cryptocurrency salary payments to employees, contractors, and affiliates.

The system includes two core components:

• BitHide Admin Plugin — where managers create custodial wallets, assign roles, and manage access rights.
• BitHide Mobile Wallet — personal employee wallets in Telegram, built into the company’s non-custodial infrastructure.

Importantly, the wallets are custodial — meaning private keys and seed phrases are stored securely on the company’s side. If an employee forgets a password or loses access to their Telegram wallet, it can be easily restored without risk to other funds.

Each employee can create their own address to receive their USDT payroll or other cryptocurrencies if the manager has enabled this feature. If not, the manager generates addresses manually for all recipients.

After generation, the addresses automatically appear in the system — all that remains is to export the file in a convenient format and use BitHide’s mass payouts in crypto tool to send funds to all employees at once.

What Businesses Get

• Control and transparency. All transactions are recorded within the system, with access to reports and payout statuses. Disputes and manual checks are eliminated.
• Time efficiency. Mass payouts in crypto take only minutes — no need to verify addresses, standards, or networks manually.
• Security and privacy. The Dark Wing technology hides network activity and makes transactions untraceable for external observers.
• Flexibility and scalability. The system suits both employee USDT payroll and partner rewards or affiliate commissions.

Results

In the first four months of using the BitHide crypto payroll automation system, the iGaming company completely eliminated payroll disputes and manual transaction checks. Not a single payment was lost, delayed, or sent incorrectly.

• Administration time dropped from 8 hours to 1 hour per month.
• The company completely removed payment errors and now works with transparent, auditable reporting.
• HR and finance managers no longer serve as tech support — employees don’t have to figure out wallets or network types to get paid.
• Zero security incidents or data compromises.

After successfully launching the crypto payroll project, the company scaled the same solution for affiliate and partner payments — now the entire business crypto payments infrastructure is managed from a single interface.

Conclusion

BitHide helped the company move from chaotic, manual cryptocurrency salary payments to a fully automated, controlled, and secure crypto payroll system. No intermediaries, no losses, no data leaks.
