Knowing little or nothing about Bitcoin myself, I went looking for more information and found this Wikihow on "How to use Bitcoin". According to that article

Basic economic theory then kicks in and would hold that given a limited or fixed supply of an item any increase in demand will be accompanied by a corresponding increase in the value or cost of the item.

According to the Bitcoin Calculator the current price of a bitcoin is $1666.45 USD. That yields the total Bitcoin economy at a value of $34,995,450,000 USD. The answer to your question then becomes, will Wanacry ransom payments rise to a level sufficient to have an effect on a $35 Billion dollar economy. (That places Bitcoin as roughly the 96th largest economy in the world and larger than 115 or 116 nations.) I will leave it to you to guesstimate what if any effect Wanacry would have on the Bitcoin economy.
