Drake’s New Track ’Bitcoin Meets Heartbreak’—Crypto Meets Mainstream in 2025

Drake just dropped a cultural bombshell—and Bitcoin's at the center of it. The 6 God's latest track weaves crypto heartbreak into chart-topping bars, proving digital assets now dominate more than just finance.

Why this matters: When a single Drake lyric moves markets more than a Fed announcement, you know we're in a new era. Meme coins, step aside—this is institutional-grade FOMO.

The cynical take: Wall Street still won't get it. They'll analyze the track's streaming numbers while missing the real story—crypto's swallowing pop culture whole.

Adoption Numbers And Hype

Based on reports from River, nearly 5% of the world’s population has used or owns bitcoin so far. That’s a long way from Blockware’s forecast that 10% could be on board by 2030.

Those numbers show that while the buzz is loud, real wallets holding Bitcoin remain few. For many, Bitcoin is still a headline rather than a habit.

State Level Moves Shift Policy

Last month, Texas became the first US state to set up a public Bitcoin stockpile. Governor Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 21, creating a standalone fund run by state’s comptroller.

That setup keeps the reserve out of the normal state treasury, so it can’t be raided for other expenses. A follow‑up bill, HB 4488, cements its legal protection, making sure the fund stays intact no matter what.

Not every state has pushed ahead. In May, Florida dropped its crypto legislation, joining Wyoming, South Dakota, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Montana and Oklahoma in pulling back. Arizona’s House Bill 1025, despite getting farther than any similar measure, was vetoed by US President Donald Trump on May 3.

Drake’s new verse isn’t his first high‑stakes play with crypto. Back in 2022, he put $1 million worth of Bitcoin bet on the Super Bowl. That bold wager grabbed headlines and showed he takes crypto chances seriously.

Now, by weaving Bitcoin into his music, he’s giving millions of listeners a taste of what traders already know: prices can swing hard, fast, and without warning.

Looking ahead, Drake’s new song and Texas’s reserve show two sides of crypto’s rise. The pop‑culture nods pull attention, while real‑world policies test whether Bitcoin can move from HYPE into everyday use.

If both trends keep climbing, Bitcoin could win more hearts—and wallets—in the years to come.
