GetHedge is a crypto payroll conversion platform that lets workers automatically redirect portions of their paychecks into Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, or USDC without requiring employers to hold or manage any cryptocurrency. GetHedge's Twitter Score is 2.0 out of 1000 as of August 2026, ranking #305,944 among 483,944 tracked accounts.
GetHedge was co-founded by David Schwartz and Paul Bradley in 2021. The platform works by using a user's existing bank account and routing number within their payroll system, converting the designated portion of each paycheck and sending the resulting crypto directly to a user-selected self-custody wallet. The approach is designed as automated dollar-cost averaging from payroll rather than active trading.
GetHedge raised $111,300 from 19 investors via a Wefunder campaign using a SAFE structure that closed in April 2023, with that round representing the platform's last recorded funding activity as of May 2023. The platform has drawn backing from Charlie Lee and the Blockbank.ai team, and holds an affiliation with the Litecoin Foundation as a project director. During its beta phase, professional athletes including Nashville SC player C.J. Sapong and Tennessee Titans player Tommy Hudson were reported as users.
GetHedge's mascot, Hal the Hedgehog, is named after Bitcoin contributor Hal Finney. The platform has announced plans for a Version 2 neo-banking app intended to include a debit card, ACH transfers, Web3 access, staking, NFT support, and a HAL rewards-token program. The official website currently returns no indexable content. GetHedge has published 1,189 posts on the platform and has been mentioned by 20 accounts totaling 105 mentions.
