50 Cent accepted Bitcoin for his 2014 album *Animal Ambition*, initially receiving around 700 BTC worth roughly $450,000.



He "forgot" about it until it was supposedly worth millions, but bankruptcy filings later revealed that a third-party company converted it to U.S. dollars immediately, meaning he never held the crypto himself, despite posts suggesting otherwise.

He admitted he didn't deny the favorable press because it boosted his image, even though the story of him holding millions in Bitcoin wasn't true.
