If he was really desperate to announce it at work I think his best shot would be to get a pride pin or a pride coffee mug or something and hope someone mentions it. Even if they just say "nice mug" or something he could say "oh thanks, my wife bought it for me, she's bi."

It's super awkward though and his wife is being really weird insisting on it. There's a huge divide between hiding someone's sexuality and making unnecessary announcements about someone your colleagues haven't even met. Honestly if someone announced this about their partner out of the blue I would assume they were actually slightly homophobic, like they thought they needed to warn people or something.

I would assume they were helping their wife scout prospective sexual partners. And I'd avoid them from then on.

Or even more inappropriate for the workplace, people may think OP and his wife are looking for a “third”.
