On May 15, 2026, Drake released a triple album with 43 tracks, including the song "Dust" where he calls himself a "BTC crypto big-timer" and references Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), urging for his release from prison. This marks Drake's most explicit public claim of significant bitcoin ownership and signals mainstream crypto adoption. The mention of SBF, convicted for FTX fraud, adds a celebrity voice to ongoing pardon debates amid renewed public interest from a Netflix series. Despite mixed critical reviews, the crypto references have drawn attention from both music and financial media.
