My company is offering me equal cash value in lieu of stock bonus. Should I take it?

Hi. I work for a tech company. The stock is down around 60% this year. Most analysts are saying it's a hold for now.

As a bonus, I am being offered either shares worth $50,000 or I am able to take the value of the shares as cash.

Since the stock is at a low I was thinking its smarter to hold on to the shares. I don't need the cash asap. My significant other is saying we should take the cash because you never know, and maybe the company or economy could implode.

What should we do?
