When rapper 50 Cent accepted 700 BTC in 2014 for the album Animal Ambition, that transaction was worth about $455,000. The artist practically forgot about this cryptocurrency fortune for years, until rediscovering his dormant portfolio. Now, in 2026, with Bitcoin trading around $76K, 50 Cent's fortune back then is worth more than $53 million — a bet on the future of digital currencies that drastically changed the financial outcome. What started as a bold creative leap in the music industry has emerged as one of the biggest lessons about the transformative potential of cryptocurrencies in recent years.
