If there's one good indicator that something is trendy, it's when Hollywood starts to adopt it. As far as investments go, Bitcoin definitely has become a trendy item in terms of traditional investing indicators.

Ever since the mid-2010s, Bitcoin's been booming. People who aren't even into tech have bought up Bitcoin mining hardware, talked about the Dark Web, and even retailers started to accept Bitcoin.

Now, even A-list celebrities have started to adopt it. Don't believe it? We're willing to bet you didn't know these celebrities who love Bitcoin happily talk about their investments with news groups, either.

Ashton Kutcher

It seems like the guy who played Kelso from the hit comedy series That 70s Show isn't really that dumb at all. Ever since the TV series ended, Kutcher has been aggressively working to expand his investment portfolio in a number of different ways.

Along with owning several companies and having a full range of stocks, Ashton Kutcher counts himself as one of the most wealthy celebrities who love to invest in Bitcoin. He openly admits he loves what decentralized tech can do. Shocking, right?

Jamie Foxx

Another comedy-making maverick you might not have expected to see on this list is Jamie Foxx. The hilarious comedian openly admitted to being interested in (and owning) everyone's favorite cryptocurrency.

In one tweet, Jamie Foxx actively promoted Cobinhood—a Robinhood-like app that allows you to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies without fees. Could it be that Foxx is trying to become a Bitcoin influencer? Who knows?

Mike Tyson

With a guy like Mike Tyson, you never can know what to expect. One day, he's biting someone's ear off. The next, he's working with Cartoon Network on a mystery show involving him, a ghost from the 18th century, a pigeon, and his daughter.

He loves pigeons, comedy, and boxing. Oh, and he also is one of the more eccentric celebrities who love Bitcoin. Go figure.

Donald Glover

The comedian known as Childish Gambino has a lot going for him in Hollywood, and to a point, it's not really surprising that he would be among celebrities who love Bitcoin. He's a very smart guy who thinks deeply about where the world is headed.

The "This Is America" rapper had been quoted as saying that, "Bitcoin just makes more sense[,]" to him when he sees how gold behaved on the stock market.

Gwyneth Paltrow

You might know Gwyneth Paltrow as the famous actress who founded GOOP. It's pretty well-known that she's a huge fan of entrepreneurialism and investing, which might be why she's one of the more popular celebrities who love Bitcoin as part of her portfolio.

She recently also joined in a Bitcoin startup called Abra. So, it seems like her entrepreneurial spirit continues to shine through in the crypto world, too.

Paris Hilton

She might have had a reputation for being a blonde bimbo in the 2000s, but if you actually take a look at all that she's accomplished in her life, it's clear Paris Hilton is no fool.

Along with being one of the wealthiest celebrities who love Bitcoin investing, the socialite celeb also has been known to tweet shout outs to ICOs she's associated with. She's an all-around crypto fiend!

Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg's penchant for expanding his already-massive empire knows no bounds. Along with being one of the celebrities who love Bitcoin investing, he recently dipped his toes into the altcoin game as well.

In 2013, he said that he was looking into making his music purchasable through Bitcoin. Needless to say, when he was gifted $55,000 worth of Sparklecoin for one of his nonprofits, he was very happy.

Roseanne Barr

In the 90s, Rosanne was known for being the star of the blue-collar TV show Rosanne. These days, she's known for political scandal involving far-right views. Sad, right?

Believe it or not, comedienne and racist Rosanne Barr doesn't always have regressive views on life. She was one of the earliest adopters of Bitcoin in Hollywood and has been actively investing in cryptocurrency since 2013.

Mel B

Mel B, also known as Melanie Brown, is one of the more popular reality show judges and singers in the UK. Beautiful as she is, there's a lot of investing brain behind that pretty face.

After seeing the great interest in Bitcoin, Mel B decided that her next single would be purchasable via Bitcoin. We're willing to bet that she's happy with that decision.

Richard Branson

To a point, it only makes sense that Richard Branson would be one of the biggest entrepreneur celebrities who love Bitcoin. The guy actually owns an airline, and has been actively trying to create a program that will allow people to go into space!

With his keen eye for the future, Branson recently dropped $30 million into BitPay. If that doesn't show Bitcoin love, we don't know what does.
