During a recent appearance, he credited none other than MicroStrategy co-founder and prominent Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor for shaping his outlook on cryptocurrency. According to Barkley, Saylor strongly encouraged him to “go all in” on Bitcoin — a piece of advice that seems to have left a lasting impression.
While Barkley didn’t dive into specifics of how his contract would have looked if paid in crypto, the sentiment is clear: he sees Bitcoin as more than a speculative asset — he sees it as a long-term store of value. His comments reflect a growing trend among athletes and celebrities who are increasingly vocal about investing in digital assets to preserve wealth and hedge against inflation.
