Will FIFA pay World Cup prize money in Bitcoin by 2026?
Prize money was $440M last World Cup. All fiat.
If FIFA put even 10% in BTC like MicroStrategy, that’s $44M of buy pressure.
Imagine France wins and has to hold BTC on their books. Every other FA would have to follow.
Questions:
- Too early or inevitable that FIFA adds BTC?
- Which country would be first to demand BTC payouts?
- Would this make countries "HODL" their prize money instead of spending it?
