The wide receiver said he will accept his salary in Bitcoin

The wide receiver shared in a tweet Monday that he will accept his salary in Bitcoin as part of a deal with Square Inc.-backed mobile payment service Cash App. He tweeted, "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," and ended his tweet by announcing a $1M Bitcoin giveaway, writing, "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. Drop your $cashtag w #OBJBTC & follow @CashApp NOW."

Odell Beckham Jr is the latest NFL athlete to announce he will be paid in Bitcoin, which could earn him up to $4.5 million in BTC in a year. He is not the first NFL athlete to do so. Earlier this year, Aaron Rodgers shared that he would be taking a portion of his salary in BTC as part of a partnership with Cash App. Rodgers reportedly earns a salary of $33.5 million, and his 4-year contract with the Packers is worth $134 million.

Athletes seem to be interested in the crypto industry

Athletes and teams around the world seem to be interested in the crypto industry. In addition to Beckham and Rodgers, Sean Culkin and Saquon Barkley also followed Russel Okung's move last year. In September 2021, quarterback legend Tom Brady hinted that he is interested in getting paid in Bitcoin.

Square Inc's digital wallet, called Cash App, allows users to send and receive money, invest in stocks and trade Bitcoin. The fintech company is very optimistic about Bitcoin and has worked with many athletes to get its message out to the masses. Another example of this is a commercial featuring Formula 1 driver Max Verstappen explaining Bitcoin to his fans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
