Chiefs tight end Sean Culkin is doubling down on cryptocurrency by becoming the first NFL player to commit his entire salary to Bitcoin.
The 27-year-old joined the Chiefs in February on a reserve/future contract that would pay him $920,000 in base salary if he makes Kansas City's roster.
"I fully believe Bitcoin is the future of finance and I wanted to prove that I have real skin in the game—not just trying to make a quick buck," Culkin tweeted Monday. "I will be converting my entire 2021 NFL salary to Bitcoin."
Culkin, who majored in finance at the University of Missouri, has featured in 19 NFL games over the last four seasons.
