Sacramento Kings offers Bitcoin salary option to players
Bitcoin has gained massive adoption from retail and institutional investors over the past year. An increasing number of people now accept it as a form of payment while others regard it as a high-end asset. Some athletes are now paid in Bitcoin. However, Sacramento Kings is going a step further and offering Bitcoin salary options to all its players.
Sacramento Kings set a precedent by offering Bitcoin as a salary option
The Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé announced yesterday that the NBA franchise would offer all its players the option to receive their salaries using Bitcoin. This latest development makes the Sacramento Kings the first sporting body to offer such an option to its players.In a tweet yesterday, Ranadivé stated that "I'm going to announce in the next few days that I'm going to offer everyone in the Kings organization, they can get paid as much of their salary in Bitcoin as they want, including the players."
The Chairman first announced this in a Clubhouse meeting hosted by Tim Draper. The move is expected to strengthen the Kings' longstanding claim of being one of the most cryptocurrency-friendly teams in professional sports.
The team has been involved in propagating cryptocurrencies for the past few years. In 2014, the Kings' began selling everything from tickets to hot dogs for BTC, and it also launched rewards tokens for fans in 2019.
At the moment, it is unclear how the sports franchise intends to facilitate bitcoin payments to players and staff. However, it has a longstanding partnership with Bitpay and could use the payment processing company to facilitate the transactions.
Sports teams are welcoming the crypto space
Cryptocurrency companies are slowly infiltrating the sporting sector. Last month, crypto exchange FTX secured a 19-year partnership to name Miami NBA Stadium, home of the Miami Heats. Crypto companies are also sponsoring various sporting teams in the NBA, soccer, and a wide range of other sports.100% Success Money Back Guarantee

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. 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.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
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.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
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.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
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.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the success guarantee work?
