Mark Cuban recently announced he sold “most of his Bitcoin.” But how long has Cuban actually been a believer?
Turns out he’s only been advocating for Bitcoin for about 4+ years and even during that time he wasn’t completely convinced.
8 quotes from Mark Cuban on BTC👇
1. “I think it’s got no shot as a long-term digital currency.” — March 2014
2. “I’d rather have bananas than Bitcoin. I can eat bananas.” — September 2019
3. “It’s a store of value like gold that is more religion than solution to any problem.” — December 2020
4. Cuban on his crypto portfolio: “60% Bitcoin, 30% Ethereum and 10% the rest. If you’re a true adventurer you might take 10% and put it in Bitcoin or Ethereum, you’ve gotta pretend you’ve already lost your money.” — 2021
5. “People look at Bitcoin as a better version of gold, and I agree with that.” — January 2025
6. “How high can the price go? Way higher than you think… if BTC becomes a safe haven globally then BTC becomes exactly what the Maxis envision.” — 2025
7. “I think Bitcoin has lost the plot — when all the shit hit the fan with the Iran war Bitcoin was always the best alternative to fiat currency losing its value and I always thought it was a better version of gold than gold. Well, gold just blew up and went to $5,000, Bitcoin dropped.” — May 2026
8. “My thesis was that it was a hedge against fiat currency failing, a hedge against world economic instability. Under that logic BTC should be setting new highs. Instead it now trades as a risk on asset.” — May 2026
