Michael Saylor just suggested a “Bitcoin collection” to famous Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
This proposal came after Ronaldo shared a post on social media showcasing luxurious watches he created in collaboration with American jeweler Jacob & Co.
Luxurious timepieces and Bitcoin interest
The partnership between Ronaldo and Jacob & Co. was first announced in 2022 and features two watches named Flight of CR7 and Heart of CR7, both highlighting the superstar.
Saylor, known for his strong advocacy of Bitcoin, often promotes the cryptocurrency to influential people.
Earlier this year, he humorously mentioned that the only thing better than having Bitcoin is having even more Bitcoin.
Ronaldo’s NFT collections
Ronaldo is no stranger to the world of cryptocurrency. In November 2022, he launched his own collection of NFTs called “CR7,” in partnership with Binance, a major player in the crypto space.
Despite facing a $1 billion class-action lawsuit related to Binance’s NFT initiatives last November, Ronaldo continued his involvement in the crypto market and since then, he announced his fourth collection with Binance earlier this May.
NFTs and Bitcoin, two different beasts
Ronaldo entered the NFT scene at a time when interest was already waning. By late 2023, reports showed that up to 95% of the NFT market was considered worthless.
While Bitcoin is trading near record highs, enthusiasm for it seems to be fading, as evidenced by a drop in Google searches to their lowest level this year.
Despite these challenges, Saylor remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. He has predicted that the cryptocurrency’s price could eventually reach $13 million.
