When 50 Cent agreed to accept bitcoin for purchases of his 2014 album, Animal Ambition, a unit of the cryptocurrency was already worth hundreds of dollars - but the value of those sales has since skyrocketed and the rapper's bitcoin holding is now reportedly worth more than $7.5 million. 50 Cent was among the first musicians to accept bitcoin for his work, starting with his 2014 album Animal Ambition.
