Maisie Williams
With a message asking her followers about Bitcoin in 2020, Maisie Williams turned herself in in the spotlight of crypto twitter.
Williams, best known for playing Arya Stark on Game of Thrones, asked her 2.7 million followers if they thought they should in the tweet.Go long Bitcoin.” In response to the tweet, more than 55% of respondents agreed in favor of bitcoin and signaled “yes” to their question. In addition to answering the poll, her tweet gained tremendous traction from both crypto advocates and critics.
Williams has expressed keen interest in the bitcoin industry, although she has neither confirmed nor denied having followed the proposal.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow has dedicated herself to cryptocurrency with an article about the formation of digital currencies. The article, published deep in what was then crypto winter in 2018, is essentially a FAQ forum covering the basics of everything cryptocurrency and bitcoin related.
Blockchain platform Abra CEO Bill Barhydt added his voice in explaining the idea, responding to inquiries about everything from what bitcoin is to how users can get the virtual currency. When asked about the price of Bitcoin, Barhydt replied:
“Ultimately, everything has value because people agree it has value. Government-issued money like the US dollar has value because we all agree it does, especially because our government only accepts paying tax debts in its own money.”
Richard Branson
Sir Richard Branson is one of the biggest names in business with massive investments and an exceptionally successful entrepreneurial career. With over 400 companies across all industries, he’s a mogul who understands opportunity.
With its investment, Branson voiced his support for bitcoin as an investment worth thinking about. However, he has not disclosed that he has made any investments in Bitcoin, either specifically through a trading platform or in general.
Elon Musk
No cryptocurrency list of celebrity names would be complete without Elon Musk. The Tesla CEO has been one of the most prominent names to champion bitcoin, with Tesla adding $1.5 billion worth of bitcoin to its balance sheets in 2021. Since then it has sold 75% of its holdings.
Musk’s relationship with cryptocurrency is difficult to pin down. He has cryptocurrency as “Sideshow to sideshow‘ and has championed the meme token Dogecoin heavily, to the point where the industry is unsure if it’s sincerity or sarcasm. Whether or not he genuinely endorses bitcoin, dogecoin, and cryptocurrency, his vocal approach to the industry has undoubtedly garnered massive attention from outliers.
Snoop Dogg
Like Musk, Snoop Dogg has been vocal in championing the Dogecoin meme coin, which is part of the “Doge Army.”
In 2021, Snoop also announced that he would be releasing an NFT collection that will chronicle the rapper’s life from his earliest memories to the present. Just one of the eight tracks in the “A Journey with the Dogg” collection drop, which lasted just 48 hours, brought the rapper $100,000.
Jack Dorsey
Twitter and Square CEO Jack Dorsey is an avid Bitcoin advocate. He started first Bitcoin promotion in 2017, when Square started testing Bitcoin payments. Dorsey has also been a major promoter of blockchain technology and the movement into the Web3 space (and after internet-based innovations), with decentralized technology driving much of his work.
This will probably be our most important contribution to the Internet. proud of the team. #web5

mike tyson
Mike Tyson, the famous boxer, announced his support for Bitcoin back in 2015 when he commented that he was excited about the potential and “grateful” of being involved in the cryptocurrency world. In the same year, the boxer also collaborated with Bitcoin ATM and supported the cryptocurrency ATMs. Six years later, Tyson took to Twitter to ask his fans which crypto tokens they prefer between Bitcoin and Ethereum, prompting a flurry of comments from other personalities, including Jack Dorsey and MicroStrategy Michael Sailer.
Which do you prefer, BTC or ETH?

Ashton Kutcher
Actor Ashton Kutcher has experience in both fintech and investing. As a co-founder of A-Grade Investment, which invested in BitPay, Kutcher sees the potential of decentralized industry in other sectors. speaking at the TechCrunch Disrupt NY conference last year he remarked:
“The most important thing about Bitcoin is: What can this decentralized technology really do? Imagine if we could decentralize this security issue and decentralize security. The idea that we could civic monitor each other anonymously actually preserves the anonymity of the internet, we don’t have to worry about Big Brother and the same infrastructure that has evolved bitcoin could be used in the security industry for bulk goods.”
