At CNBC’s Game Plan 2025 event, NBA player Kevin Durant’s agent Ritchie Kleiman said he encouraged Durant to invest in cryptocurrencies in 2016. He recalled, "At that time, Ben Horowitz, co-founder and general partner of Andreessen Horowitz, held a birthday dinner for Durant. That night, I heard the word "bitcoin" 25 times. The next day, we started investing in Bitcoin." Durant created a Coinbase account to invest in Bitcoin. Although the account worked well, Clayman and Durant did not remember the password. "We haven't found his Coinbase account yet, so we've never sold anything and his Bitcoin price has soared... It's just crazy."
