Joe Rogan’s Bitcoin Wallet Address Has Been Public Since 2014

World-renowned podcaster and Ultimate Fighter Championship (UFC) commentator Joe Rogan has shown interest in cryptocurrencies for over a decade.

Rogan disclosed his Bitcoin (BTC) investment and made his BTC wallet address public in April 2014, although he has done little with the cryptocurrency since.

The address, which Rogan unveiled in an Instagram post, has received a total of 5.24 BTC since early 2014, with the majority of the acquisitions occurring in 2014, according to data Finbold retrieved from Blockchain.com on January 9, 2025.

The value of the owned coins has risen significantly over the nearly 11 years since the address was unveiled, going from about $3,200 to $483,763 at press time as Bitcoin remained almost 100% in the green in the last 12 months with its press time price of $92,766.

Why Joe Rogan hasn’t touched his Bitcoin in years

The extended apparent dormancy of the address and its 15,000% appreciation have prompted speculation among commentators about whether Rogan lost his keys at some point during the decade.

However, it is also possible that Bitcoin remains untouched because $500,000 is a relatively small sum for an individual with an estimated net worth of $200 million, according to Finbold’s estimates published in February 2024.

Rogan’s ownership of a handful of Bitcoin could be a combination of curiosity and a hedge against the possibility of some bullish cryptocurrency predictions coming true, such as Michael Saylor’s $13 million BTC price target for 2045 or the hope that digital assets will become the world’s official currency.

Is Joe Rogan pro or anti-crypto?

While the specifics are unclear at press time, the podcaster has maintained an interest in cryptocurrencies, albeit with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Rogan quickly acknowledged that celebrities who endorsed FTX prior to the exchange's collapse should have asked more questions before making such endorsements and stated that he generally declines to promote digital assets because he "doesn't really understand them."

Moreover, Rogan expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, fully replacing fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar, highlighting some common critiques of the idea and questioning the actual efficiency of the ecosystem.

Transaction fees have been a hot topic when it comes to BTC, and Finbold reported on June 8, 2024, that anyone who wanted to buy a Big Mac using the coin would pay an amount equal to the price of about 12 of the famous burgers.
