This formal petition will come after city commissioners in February endorsed their resolution to direct the city manager to look for a provider to offer employees the possibility of receiving a percentage of their salary in Bitcoins.

At the time, the digital currency was trading around $ 48,000, then reached an all-time high of $ 64,804.72 in April and fell below $ 30 thousand in July. Recently, it got back to the $ 55,000 mark.

Despite price volatility, Suarez also wants the state of Florida to allow Miami to keep Bitcoin on its balance sheet.
