When Odell Beckham Jr. signed with the Los Angeles Rams in 2021, he decided to take his $750,000 salary in Bitcoin. It was a bold call by the star receiver, especially after the price of Bitcoin had doubled in the four months before he signed his contract.

Three years later, he’s finally getting the last laugh. Bitcoin is at an all-time high, soaring past $90,000 this week, which means Beckham’s bet paid off.

He didn’t pass up the opportunity to dunk on those who doubted him, either. On Wednesday, he posted on X (formerly Twitter) calling out people who said taking his salary in Bitcoin “was dumb,” sharing a screenshot of the crypto’s skyrocketing price.

We have to assume Beckham has held onto his Bitcoin until now based on his post, and he should be thankful he did. When Beckham signed with the Rams in Nov. 2021, the price of Bitcoin hit a peak of around $65,000 before cratering to $16,000 a year later.

Now at all-time highs, Beckham has presumably made about 50% on his investment in the volatile coin, turning $750,000 into more than $1 million.
