Aaron Rodgers announced that he will take some of his salary in bitcoin going forward and said he’ll give away $1 million in the digital currency to his fans through a partnership with Cash App.

It’s unclear how much of bitcoin the Packers quarterback will receive, but his current contract pays him an average annual salary of $33.5 million, according to Sports Illustrated.

“Verified I’m excited about Bitcoin because I believe it’s the future of money: it’s valuable, super secure, and no one can mess with it. That’s why I’m teaming up with Cash App to take a portion of my salary in bitcoin today,” the star quarterback said on Instagram Monday.

“Bitcoin is new & the concept can be intimidating, so to make Bitcoin more accessible to my own fans I’m giving out a total of $1 million in btc now too.”

Rodgers also posted a video in which he was still donning his John Wick-inspired Halloween costume and declared, “Bitcoin to the moon.”

Rodgers isn’t the first NFL player to get paid in bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency in the world.

Bitcoin surged to a record high last month after a few sleepy months that saw its price briefly cut in half.
