Crypto promotions have become a familiar part of internet culture. But not every big name is willing to take the deal.
Tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee, better known as MKBHD, said in a March 18 interview that one of the largest sponsorship offers he has ever received was tied to crypto, and that he rejected it.
Brownlee is one of the most influential technology creators on YouTube.
His main channel has about 20.8 million subscribers, with over 5.3 billion views and has been active since March 21, 2008.
Forbes estimated his 2025 creator earnings at $10 million and ranked him No. 17 on its Top Creators list.
