Yesterday, Odell Beckham Jr. announced that he would be taking his entire Rams salary in Bitcoin thanks to a new partnership with Cash App. Odell has had a crypto punk NFT as his profile picture for a while now, so it should come as no surprise that he's going all-in on the crypto game.
"It's a NEW ERA & to kick that off I'm hyped to announce that I'm taking my new salary in bitcoin thanks to @CashApp. To ALL MY FANS out there, no matter where u r: THANK YOU! I’m giving back a total of $1M in BTC rn too," he wrote.
It remains to be seen how high Bitcoin will end up going by the end of the year, however, it seems as though many athletes are prepared for the next leg of the bull run, if it ends up happening.
