Kevin Durant Recovers Coinbase Account After Nearly a Decade, Revealing Massive Bitcoin Gains – cover image

On September 19, 2025, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced via an X post that NBA star Kevin Durant had successfully recovered access to his Coinbase account after nearly 10 years of being locked out. Durant initially lost access to the account because he forgot his password and had no recovery details, a common challenge many crypto holders face.

Durant and his agent Rich Kleiman, through their investment vehicle Thirty Five Ventures, began investing in Bitcoin around 2014 or 2015. At the start of 2016, Bitcoin was priced at roughly $400. Since then, the value has skyrocketed to approximately $115,480, reflecting tremendous growth for early investors.

This story underscores the importance of properly managing crypto account credentials and highlights the incredible potential gains from early cryptocurrency investments. For those interested in entering the market today without the upfront full payment, platforms like Bitlet.app offer innovative Crypto Installment services, allowing users to buy cryptocurrencies now and pay in monthly installments. This makes investing in cryptocurrencies more accessible and manageable for everyone.
