<h2 id="heading" class="title">Mac Jones Surprises Teammates With Bitcoin as a Gift</h2>
Mac Jones gifted Bitcoin to his entire New England offensive linemen. Before making the grand gesture on Christmas eve, the rookie quarterback claimed that he was actively researching the flagship cryptocurrency.
<blockquote><em>“I’ve been studying Bitcoin for a while now. This year I just knew I had to give some Bitcoin to my teammates.” </em>Jones <a href="https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/patriots-quarterback-mac-jones-gifts-bitcoin-to-offensive-line" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Bitcoin Magazine</a>.<em> “So I reached out to Bitcoin Magazine and asked for help on how to give Bitcoin as a gift.”</em></blockquote>
Jones apparently approached Bitcoin Magazine CEO and fellow Alabama alumnus David Bailey to give his linemen an undisclosed amount of the flagship cryptocurrency including print subscriptions to Bitcoin magazine and passes to the upcoming Bitcoin 22 conference, the largest Bitcoin event in history.
<blockquote><em>“When Mac told us he wanted to spread the Bitcoin wealth for Christmas, we jumped at the opportunity to support him. Our mission is to make Bitcoin the de facto money of humanity, which means blending it into our popular culture. Bitcoin is for everyone, but the brave, optimistic, and forward thinking people who see the future are the ones adopting Bitcoin and sharing this important message,”</em> Bailey said.</blockquote>
The NFL player and his teammates will receive the Bitcoin via the Swan Black Card, a new offering that allows users to claim Bitcoin directly with the assistance of a concierge service.

It’s a common practice for NFL quarterbacks to purchase Christmas gifts for their offensive linemen ranging from Pacman arcade games to custom paintings. With the choice of the gift, Jones is the first quarterback to give Bitcoin as part of the tradition.

With that move, Jones now joins among a growing list of NFL players like Odell Beckham Jr., Saquon Barkley, Aaron Rodgers, and reigning Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady, who either own Bitcoin or receive salaries in cryptocurrency.
