During an interview with The Cut, Phan expressed her enthusiasm for Bitcoin, emphasizing its significance even more than YouTube, the platform that played a pivotal role in propelling her to fame.

She said the following statement during her interview: "I'm actually more excited about Bitcoin than I was when I first discovered YouTube."
During a recent episode of the Off The Pill Podcast, it was revealed that Phan has made an investment in Lolli, a platform that offers Bitcoin as cash-back rewards. The "Off The Pill Podcast" is a podcast hosted by Ryan Higa, a popular YouTuber and content creator. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, including discussions about life, entertainment, and personal experiences.

In late 2018, Michelle Phan proudly shared updates on her career advancements and investment decisions on Twitter. Her tweet garnered a positive response from the Bitcoin community, where she highlighted the parallels between facing criticism for her early YouTube endeavours and the scepticism surrounding her decision to invest in Bitcoin. Phan reflected on how both choices, once ridiculed, have turned out to be among the most rewarding decisions in her professional journey. "10 years ago I was ridiculed for quitting my job to pursue my YouTube channel. No one saw the potential in the platform like I did. Years later, I was ridiculed again for investing in BTC and ETH. I like having the last laugh :)"
