Bitcoin Treasuries List Claims 59 Companies and a Handful of Countries Hold 1.49 Million BTC

304 days or roughly nine months ago, 42 companies held bitcoin on their balance sheet with an aggregate total of 1,350,073 bitcoin on March 1, 2021. Today, metrics indicate there are 59 companies, a few countries, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with 1,499,493 bitcoin held in treasuries.

Private and Public Companies, ETFs, and Countries — Treasuries List Highlights 59 Firms With Bitcoin on Their Balance Sheets

Over the last 12 months, a great number of companies have disclosed that they have added bitcoin (BTC) to the firm’s balance sheet and even countries like El Salvador are now storing BTC in their national treasury.

On March 1, 2021, Bitcoin.com News reported that there were 42 firms that consisted of public and private companies, alongside bitcoin funds as well. At the time 1,350,073 BTC was held by the company’s and it represented 6.43% out of the 21 million maximum supply.

Now similar to Microstrategy announcing a BTC purchase every so often, the Salvadoran president Nayib Bukele has also been telling the public about El Salvador’s BTC acquisitions. For instance, El Salvador purchased 21 BTC to celebrate the 21st day, year, and century on December 21.

The Bitcoin Treasuries list hosted on buybitcoinworldwide.com shows that there are 59 companies that hold BTC on their balance sheets and five different countries. At the time of writing, the web portal claims 1,499,493 BTC is held by these entities.

This equates to $71.6 billion in USD value and 7.14% of the 21 million BTC supply cap. Now the Bitcoin Treasuries list notes that five countries own BTC and the first one on the list is Bulgaria, however, the stash of 213,519 BTC held by Bulgarian authorities is controversial and many people believe the coins were sold.

In April 2018, the regional news publication Bivol explained that Bulgaria’s finance minister, Vladislav Goranov, explained that the BTC was sold. Goranov noted that the BTC was sold to “several sovereign wealth funds and Asian investors.” It also noted that Deloitte and the FBI helped facilitate the sales and the BTC was sold for €15,000 per unit.

If that stash is taken off the Bitcoin Treasuries list’s aggregate, the current BTC held by companies and four countries would be 1,285,974 BTC worth $61.1 billion. The Bitcoin Treasuries list then says El Salvador holds 1,391 BTC, the UK government holds 46,351 BTC, Finland has 1,981 BTC, and Georgia has 66 BTC.

Microstrategy, Tesla, Galaxy Digital Hold the Top 3 Public Company Positions — Block.one, Tezos Foundation, Stone Ridge Hold the Top 3 Private Company Positions

That would leave the Bitcoin Treasuries list down to ETFs, private companies, and public firms. The publicly listed company with the most BTC at the time of writing according to the Bitcoin Treasuries list is Microstrategy, with 122,478 BTC or $5.8 billion worth of coins.

However, the company’s CEO Michael Saylor told the public it purchased 1,914 BTC on Thursday. The Bitcoin Treasuries list shows that Tesla and Galaxy Digital hold the second and third largest amount of bitcoin in terms of public companies.

Tesla holds 42,902 BTC according to the list and Galaxy Digital has a stash of 16,400 BTC. Those two public firms are followed by Voyager Digital LTD (12,260 BTC), Square Inc. (8,027 BTC), and Marathon Digital Holdings (7,649 BTC).

That leaves 39 public companies holding BTC on their balance sheets with firms like MOGO Financing (18 BTC), Phunware, Inc. (127 BTC), Coinbase Global, Inc. (4,482 BTC), and Brooker Group’s BROOK (BKK) (1,150 BTC).

Six private companies hold bitcoin as well including Block.one (140,000), The Tezos Foundation (17,500), Stone Ridge Holdings Group (10,000), Massachusetts Mutual (3,500), Lisk Foundation (1,898), and Seetee AS (1,170).

Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust Dominates the Entire Bitcoin Treasuries List, ‘Who Owns All the Bitcoin’ Lists Are Not Entirely Accurate

14 funds hold 809,848 BTC according to the list and the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) holds 648,069 BTC of that total. Following GBTC, there are funds like CoinShares / XBT with 48,466 BTC, Purpose Bitcoin ETF with 22,411 BTC, and 3iQ Coinshares Bitcoin ETF that holds 21,237 BTC.

The Bitcoin Treasuries list gives a fairly good glimpse of a number of companies claiming to hold BTC on their balance sheet and it’s a great deal larger than it was last year. However, just like the discrepancy with the Bulgaria bitcoin stash mentioned above, none of the so-called “who owns all the bitcoin” lists are entirely accurate.

In fact, without cryptographic proof, these types of lists don’t hold water when it comes to actual onchain verification and actual “proof-of-reserves.” Despite this issue, the lists are useful for a visual perspective, of what could be the case, if a majority of these entities are being truthful about their BTC reserves.

Bitcoin owners are the equivalent of land owners in the Middle Ages.

Land owners ended up becoming some of the wealthiest people on earth.

Buying bitcoin today is essentially buying a Piece of the internet for the future, equivalent to land owners centuries ago. Except society/ technology moves so fast now that instead of waiting centuries for your investment to bear fruit now it’s years.

I analysed the historical performance of every crypto in Coin Bureau's 'Top crypto picks' videos

Introduction and Methodology

Since Coin Bureau has a pretty good reputation in this sub, I decided to look at the past performance of every crypto that he has recommended in his 'Top crypto picks' videos to see whether his recommendations are worth listening to.

To do this, I compared the price of the cryptos he recommended at the time the video was released to their ATH, and to their current prices. I also compared the returns from these recommendations to the returns of BTC and ETH, 2 of the least risky picks in this asset class. All price data was sourced from Coinmarketcap.

*If true ATH was before video release, I used the ATH after video release.

Results

16 Aug 2020 - TOP Defi Picks & 100x MOONSHOT Coin!!🚀

Cryptocurrency	Price at video release / $	ATH / $	Date of ATH	Returns if you sold at ATH	Current price / $	Returns if you sell now

0chain outperformed BTC if you sold at ATH, but overall you would be much better off buying BTC and ETH than buying these recommendations.

14 Dec 2020 - TOP Crypto Picks For 2021: MASSIVE Potential!! 🚀

Cryptocurrency	Price at video release / $	ATH / $	Date of ATH	Returns if you sold at ATH	Current price / $	Returns if you sell now

Comparison to ETH	586.01	4891.70	Nov 16, 2021	8.35x	3663.23	6.25x

This is the first time we see some of Coin Bureau's recommendations perform very well (Algorand, Theta, Injective). If you invested in all his recommendations equally, and you managed to sell near ATH, you would have outperformed the market.

Comparison to BTC	58,803	68,789	Nov 10, 2021	1.17x	46,723	0.795x

This video came out at a very unfortunate time. The whole market had a big correction, and alts were hit very hard. However, all the alts Coin Bureau recommended have either been comparable to or outperformed BTC so far.

10 Aug 2021 - TOP Altcoin Picks 2021 Q3: SOLID Potential!! 💯

Cryptocurrency	Price at video release / $	ATH / $	Date of ATH	Returns if you sold at ATH	Current price / $	Returns if you sell now
1. Ethereum	3141.69	4891.70	Nov 16, 2021	1.56x	3663.23	1.17x
2. Cardano	1.67	3.10	Sep 2, 2021	1.86x	1.34	0.802x
3. Solana	40.64	260.06	Nov 6, 2021	6.40x	173.86	4.28x
4. Polygon	1.16	2.92	Dec 27, 2021	2.52x	2.48	2.14x
5. Terra	16.75	103.33	Dec 27, 2021	6.17x	84.34	5.04x
Comparison to BTC	45,585	68,789	Nov 10, 2021	1.51x	46,723	1.02x

Coin Bureau's recommendations performed extremely well, with all of them except Cardano outperforming BTC regardless of when you sold.

Conclusion

The majority of Coin Bureau's recommendations that came out in 2021 performed well in comparison to BTC and ETH. From the data we have, many of his recommendations are profitable in the short term (usually a couple of months). However, Coin Bureau hasn't been around for long enough to prove that he can pick out good long term projects (at least a few years). Overall, I think the data shows that if you want to diversify into alts, Coin Bureau's recommendations are generally a decent choice if you're too lazy or don't have the time to DYOR.

TLDR

Coin Bureau's recommendations are generally profitable in the short term (usually a couple of months). However, one year's worth of data really isn't that much, and I think you should always have more in BTC and ETH than in any of these recommendations combined.

Bitcoin is about building generational wealth

Bitcoin is the hardest money ever discovered. It is the most decentralized currency available to mankind. It's value will ebb and flow over the next decade just as it has for this past one. Bitcoin is the greatest tool for building generational wealth because of one primary property. It CANNOT be confiscated if stored properly. It cannot be confiscated through inflation.

If Bitcoin is banned in the US next year I don't care. If Bitcoin is banned for a decade I don't care. Bitcoin will outlast the US, Chinese, and Russian governments. Authoritarians thrive on confiscation of wealth. They prey on those who cannot defend themselves. 99% of us fall into a class of people who are laughed at by the wealthy and powerful. They take their back door deals and convince themselves they're better than us. Bitcoin is our way of silently revolting from their corrupt system. Bitcoin IS political. It is not left vs right, but Authoritarian vs Liberty. Centralization vs. Decentralization. The masses vs the inbred elite.

The fiat system is a ponzi scheme. Made up of even smaller ponzi schemes like social security. It is an illusion of wealth. Right now this illusion is starting to fade. It's impossible for anyone to miss the rising prices of food. For those more astute they will also notice the rising price of education, healthcare, and housing. Bitcoin is the lifeboat from this sinking ship, but it's more than that. It is the foundation from which to start a new society.

Bitcoin bleeds the fiat system which subsidies oil production at the cost of future generations. A fiat system which engages in pointless wars to destabilize the middle east and shore up the petro dollar. A fiat system that bloats the upper class through the Cantillion effect.

Before now there have been efforts to fight against this system, but none have been as successful as Bitcoin. To tear down the disgusting and abhorrent fiat system all that you have to do is hodl Bitcoin. This simple task is not so simple to carry out. I'll lay out the steps I believe are needed to successfully hodl Bitcoin and I welcome input.

Learn how to hold your keys securely
Learn how to get Bitcoin
Think with a generational mindset

The Bitcoin revolution is a silent revolution, but it is not a fast one. Very few revolutions are. They are a culmination of events, a build up over years and decades. The fiat system and those who have grown fat from it will not go easy. We must be patient but also steadfast. There will be many challenges, either from shitcoin distractions, legal harassments, CBDCs, phishing scams, exchange hacks, or blatant attempts at confiscation. If we can just hodl we will win. The first step to surviving this revolution is to get angry. Get angry at the injustice done to the 99%, to our children and grandchildren. Use this anger as a motivation for when things get hard. Lastly, remember what we are building as we fight for Bitcoin. A better future for the generations to come.

We can win a major battle in the arms race and gain a new territory of freedom for several years. -Satoshi

The XTRA project is still very young, but the XTRA’s team is working hard to develop it in the best possible way. Because of that reason, their public sale lasted only 8 minutes! The project received $1.05M, and the total investment of all rounds was $4.25M.

How does it work?

Connect wallet: head over to the XTRA platform and connect your wallet (e.g., Metamask)
Buy XTRA tokens: head over on PancakeSwap and fill your crypto wallet with an XTRA token
Stake it: and that is all. The user does not have to do something else
Extract profit: collect your money and make your dreams come true

What is a Guarantee Fund?

XTRA is truly revolutionary in its approach. Its decentralised Guarantee Fund is designed to compensate you for the drop in a token price. If the price of the XTRA token falls, the fund will automatically match up to 90% of the initial purchase price.

There is a catch though – to stake on the XTRA platform, users need XTRA tokens.

What happened in XTRA in Q4?

The last quarter was very busy for XTRA’s team. On the 15th of December, XTRA was listed on PancakeSwap. This event was very important from a development perspective. Below you can check the most important information from Q4 regarding the XTRA token:

Strategic partnerships

The first business partners were the (DEX) PancakeSwap. XTRA truly wants to be a provider of good, quality solutions in the crypto space. It is their mission. Because of that reason, they took checked and trustworthy business partners who can help build this project and achieve the next steps in the development roadmap.

Hacken contract audit

Everybody knows that in the crypto business one of the most important things is safety. It is all about investments, money, so users always want to know that the project is safe, trustworthy and they can put their money on it.

The XTRA team knows about it very well, and because of that reason, to make sure that their users’ funds will be safe, they decided to verify their smart contract by Hacken. Hacken is a cybersecurity company that specializes in making audits for blockchain/crypto projects.

And if you like technical documents and you are a safety lover, you can check Hacken’s report here: https://xtra.fund/wp content/uploads/2021/12/Xtra_08122021SCAudit_Report.pdf

Roadmap for 2022

The XTRA’s team prepared the whole article about their plans for 2022 and you can read it here: https://xtra.fund/roadmap-for-2022-is-coming/ but below you can check the most important things.

NFT Collection release

XTRA’s NFTs are based on their own “mascot” – Xtra. Users will find in this collection about 100 different elements which you can use, mix, and create a unique and beautiful character. The collection of NFTs will have 10 000 pieces. It sounds so good.

Launchpad

XTRA Launchpad is a multichain token launchpad for tokens based on ERC20. It supports many EVM networks like Binance Smart Chain, Ethereum, Polygon, Klaytn, and Optimism. The main goal here is to create and build an entirely safe, clear, and – if it’s possible – decentralized launchpad.

What is more important here, all users and owners of XTRA tokens will have a chance to allocate new projects which will be tokenized on the new Xtra Launchpad on the very preferential conditions (seed, pre-sale1, pre-sale 2, etc.).

You will find more information about Xtra Launchpad on XTRA’s website and social media in the following months.

NFT launchpad

Who can use it? Stakers of XTRA tokens and NFT collection holders (at the beginning until 10 000 pieces). Elements in these collections will be exposed all the time and the sale process will be clear and fair. More information soon.

Token X-Staking Platform

In XTRA they believe that good cooperation is one of the foundations of building strong projects. Because of that, they want to reward their community and business partners. That is why the XTRA team will create a dedicated staking platform where users will have an opportunity to stake tokens, using the X-Stake algorithm. What about rewards? Stakers will receive tokens of the partner’s project and XTRA’s tokens.

TOP 100 on CoinMarketCap

The goal is very ambitious but still real. XTRA’s team really believes – and what is more important, they have plans for it – to be at the Top 100 at CoinMarketCap and at the end of 2022. Even Top 50 in 2022/2023. Is it possible?

From their perspective “yes” and they will do everything to develop the project and give their community the best solution to achieve this goal.

The Opendao Gives Xmas Airdrop to Opensea Users

New decentralized organization Opendao gave users of Opensea, one of the biggest NFT marketplaces by trading volume, a gift on Christmas. The organization launched its own token and organized an airdrop to distribute it to users that had purchased NFTs using Opensea, allowing them to claim 50% of the total supply of SOS, its native token, as an act of gratitude for popularizing NFTs.

Opensea Users Receive Opendao Airdrop

Users of Opensea got a Christmas gift this year from a new DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) that launched an airdrop to thank users of the marketplace and show its gratitude for their support of the NFT environment. Opendao launched on Christmas day, and it airdropped 50% of its total supply to all users that have traded NFTs and transacted on the Opensea marketplace since day one. The snapshot for this airdrop was taken on December 23.

The organization claims that 20% of its total issuance will be destined to compensate verified scam victims on Opensea with SOS, the native token of the DAO, and support emerging artists and their original work.

After the initial concern about authorizing an unknown contract to have control over users’ Ethereum wallets, according to reports on social media, heavy users of Opensea received airdrops of thousands of dollars in SOS. At the time of writing, more than 240K addresses have claimed the SOS airdrop, and the token has been listed on two centralized exchanges, Oxex and Kucoin.

A New Way to Airdrop

The dynamic of the Opendao airdrop is different from others that have been organized before. This is the opinion of Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who praised the way this particular airdrop was organized. He stated:

OK — b4 all the VC thinkpieces start…. these airdrops (like $ENS before it) flip script on how EVERYONE will value their time + spending online👉 u’re finally rewarded 4 using. It’s bringing incentives that I love (as a founder/investor) to the COMMUNITY that makes it all work.

He further detailed that as the blockchain is a public record, many parties can organize these airdrops, and in the future, there will be a lot of spam crowding people’s wallets. However, he remarked there will be great projects coming out.

SOS has experienced notable growth in price since its launch. According to price data provided by Coingecko, the coin went from a price of $0.00000140 when launched to $0.00001108. It has since retraced to an intermediate price of $0.00000650.

UST Gets Listed on Binance and Huobi, Propelling Terra to $100

UST, the main stablecoin of the Terra project, is being integrated into Binance and Huobi, two leading exchanges by trading volume, expanding the options that users have to trade the stablecoin. After these announcements, The price of LUNA, the governance asset of the Terra project, broke its previous all-time high, going over $100 for the first time in its history.

UST Gets Attention From Huobi and Binance

UST, the most used stablecoin from the Terra project, has reached a milestone now that two leading exchanges by volume traded have included it in their platforms. Huobi, an Asian exchange, announced it would include the asset in its Pioneer Zone on December 23, and launched a contest to entice the trade of the new currency, offering 210,000 UST to platform users.

Binance also reported the listing of the stablecoin the same day, stating it would be offering three different UST trading pairs: UST/BTC, UST/BUSD, and UST/USDT. In contrast, Huobi only confirmed one trading pair, against USDT. The news was well received by Do Kwon, founder and CEO of Terraform Labs, who celebrated it, stating:

Now there is literally no reason to subject your internet money to censorship risk. Happy holidays, everyone!

LUNA Breaks Record Levels Again

The market cap of the Terra stablecoin has experienced significant growth in just the last week, going from $8.8 billion on December 18 to almost $9.8 billion on December 24. Just after the Binance announcement, more than 200 million UST were issued. This, according to the dynamic of the issuance of the token, might have influenced the rise in the price of LUNA.

LUNA, the governance token of the Terra project, is used to mint UST. As more UST is minted, the supply of LUNA shrinks, making it a more scarce product. This might, depending on market conditions, contribute to a hypothetical price rise.

After the listing announcements the price of LUNA reacted favorably, breaking its recently established all-time high of a little more than $80, established on December 20. This was when UST flipped DAI, the Ethereum-collateralized stablecoin, as the most valuable decentralized stablecoin cryptocurrency project. The price of LUNA reached $100.84 yesterday, aided by the rebound of the general cryptocurrency market, and has retraced to a little more than $95 since.

What do you think about Binance and Huobi listing UST, and the recent price rise of LUNA? Tell us in the comments section below.

Building and Living off passive income. Stake it till you make it!

I’ve been looking at a lot of posts on the sub and noticed that a lot of of us here are newbies who have the ultimate goal of financial independence, of not having to worry about money or constantly check at prices in order to avoid having to go to work for another day but there are also some of us here who are trying to TIME the market instead of time IN the market on crypto which is very volatile. This is a very risky move.

Here’s what you can do instead:

Make a list of cryptos you've extensively studied and are confident about. Set a deadline or a monetary value for yourself as a goal. Then, on a regular basis, invest a defined amount based on your salary into cryptos. The most important ideas to remember are DCA and HODL.

When you've gained a better understanding of cryptos, it's time to go on to the next step, which is creating passive income (staking, yielding, etc).

You can either:

Stake your crypto with the protocol you like with your cryptowallet.
Use platforms to lend or stake your crypto in exchange for compensation for permitting the platform to keep or lock up your coin. Rocketpool, Haru Invest, Kraken and Lido are three investments that I personally suggest.

Now imagine a future where you won’t be working as much if your passive income grows. It’s very much possible if you do it right. Staking or lending crypto alone can provide you with sufficient passive revenue. The market will reward you if you can put together a strategy and be patient in executing it.

Now it won’t be easy. If there are bull markets, there will also be bear markets. All of this should be irrelevant, though, provided you have set goals and timetables for when you want to sell. Developing an emotional tie to the charts and tickers will only result in you selling at a loss.

Russian Government Allows Regions to Raise Electricity Rates for Crypto Miners

The federal government in Moscow has permitted regions to determine local electricity tariffs for the population, a measure that will affect crypto mining at homes. Subsidized household electricity in Russia is often used to mint digital currencies in basements and garages.

Regions in Russia Granted Permission to Increase Costs for Home Mining

Russians mining cryptocurrencies at their homes may expect higher electricity bills as a result of a reform allowing regional authorities to limit the electrical energy supplied at preferential rates. The move comes after local utilities requested powers to set thresholds for the amount of subsidized electricity available to the general population while complaining about the spread of crypto mining in residential areas.

Private customers will have to pay more for consumption exceeding these thresholds, the Russian business daily Kommersant reported. Most Russian regions are yet to adopt new pricing schemes, with the exception of Crimea where cheap electricity is already limited to 150 kWh per month. The Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Ministry of Energy have assured that the new policy is aimed at curbing “inappropriate energy consumption” and should not increase expenses for most consumers.

Electricity tariffs for households in Russia are regulated by the state, which maintains them well below economically justified levels. Power utilities compensate for the difference through higher rates for businesses. In 2021, companies are expected to pay over 240 billion rubles (close to $3.3 billion) to finance this ‘cross-subsidization,’ data from Russia’s energy markets regulator has indicated.

According to an estimate quoted by the Kommersant, last year’s average monthly consumption per household in the Russian Federation was about 250 kWh. Around 40% of homes in apartment blocks now consume more than 600 kWh per month.

The recent amendments to a federal government decree will provide all other regions alongside annexed Crimea with the option to introduce differentiated electricity tariffs. The changes come after power distributors and authorities in Irkutsk Oblast complained about the rapidly growing number of crypto farms in residential buildings.

Electricity for households in Irkutsk, which has been dubbed the crypto mining capital of Russia, costs only 0.86 rubles ($0.01) per kWh when the average tariff in the whole of Russia is 4.25 rubles (almost $0.06). Earlier in December, media reports revealed that a local power utility, Irkutskenergosbyt, has filed 85 lawsuits this year against at-home miners.

Mining is one of several crypto-related activities that remained outside the scope of the law “On Digital Financial Assets,” which partially regulated the Russian crypto space in January. Calls have been mounting among officials in Moscow to recognize it as a business activity and tax it accordingly. This would also allow utilities to charge miners more for the energy they need to mint digital coins. A working group set up at the State Duma has recently held its first meeting to discuss regulations for mining and other sectors in the crypto industry.

Do you expect Russian regions to raise electricity rates for cryptocurrency miners? Tell us in the comments section below.

Here it is. The subs most despised coins combined into a single awful folio. This is the folio of hate. How much do you want it to fail? Does it make you angry?

Well after a long and exhaustive battle of coins being shilled in just a couple of hours, I have found the list of the subs most hated coins. There was definitely a lot of hate out there. I put $100 into each and stored it on a seperate group of wallets to my real bags. To make it easier to track, I create the folio of hate using coinmarketcap to track them more easily. I'll post the updates every month and hope to see some big gains going against us all (even my most hated coin is in this group).

There was a lot of hate from users, towards some coins more so than others. The two most hated were the most hated by a very long way. Merry Christmas everyone!

The final list in order of most votes and comments is listed in the comment below because the filter won't let me create a post with that many coin names in it.

Day Two of using Bitcoin in El Salvador

Shoutout to NixPhenom for replying with really helpful advice. It literally was that easy; just scan the QR code, open the link, input the price of the sale, copy the QR code by tapping, paste it into the invoice prompt on your lightning wallet and then tap 'Send'.

However the process maybe a little different for other restaurants and shops i.e. Pelicanos Restaurante (found at the Atami Escape Resort). They use Wompi to assist them with crypto payments. You scan the QR code, which is a link to their webpage, and you input your personal information, including your passport number. Just use some random 9 digit number for the passport section (or use a fake one found in google images) and feel free to use any name. Then proceed through the process using the instructions stated above. *One thing I should mention about dining at restaurants here is that you don't wait to be seated. You seat yourself* But I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to wait at my table for the check or if I'm supposed to walk over to the cashier.

Another thing to note is the fact that not all places accept Bitcoin and not all places advertise the acceptance of Bitcoin even though they do (Pelicanos Restaurante). So you'll have put those spanish skills to the test and ask around. And there are a few restaurants that aren't even registered on Google Maps so you'll have to really search these places out. Cafe Iguana (serves breakfast/ lunch/ dinner; found at 13.4938529, -89.4268991) and some other place found here (13.4966817, -89.4234109). These two places transact on layer 1 of Bitcoin and not layer 2 (lightning), so keep that in mind when calculating fees.

So there are places in El Zonte and Atami that do accept Bitcoin and I have yet to find a restaurant that accept Bitcoin in El Tunco. I will keep searching and provide updates for as long as I'm here. Day 3 will be a rest day, so don't expect me to post tomorrow.

Eco-friendly Bicycle or Scooter (when available by Company B)

In addition to the 100, 250, 500, & 1,000 points for the Top 5 (less the Top 1) in Sacrifice points will receive 1 Whale pass (if available otherwise an additional ticket) + 1 ticket to BTC 2022 in Miami.

In addition to the 100, 250, 500, & 1000 points for the supreme sacrifice will receive an all-expense-paid trip to include Hotel and Air plus transfers from their home area to London for London2049 in Oct 2022 or a Bitcoin conference of their choice.

Performance Bonus:

Upon receiving 9 million in sacrifice for every 3 million received after that in sacrifices, a gift of USD 15,000k in BTC will be sent to a random BTC wallet address.

Everyone’s points supply increases with the amount sacrificed. The sacrifice will create one free dual point per sacrifice point. Meaning, one sacrifice point earns 1 point in Company A, and 1 point in Company B plus 25% of a point in the Bonus Coin, plus 5% of every sacrifice into Frega points, and depending on the Sac amounts, additional products or services can be obtained such as a Hard wallet, NFT either 2D or 3D, Tesla, London conference, passes to Bitcoin 2022 in Miami, etc. The USD value of sacrifices is estimated using 60-minute time-weighted average prices as needed. At a future date in 2022, Company A, B, and Bonus point totals will be exchanged for three different coins, whereas the coins, when launched on various exchanges, will start at zero value.

Point Bonus:

Those with the most prominent voice and sacrifice the most significant points will be in the front. The next largest follows, and so forth to the minimum of 100 points sacrificed. Upon sacrificing, a volume bonus will now be added to the point total from the largest receiving 3X and every bonus after that being slightly less until it reaches just a bit above 1x. The difference between each point bonus is minimum, but it’s a difference.

In the end, all the sacrifice addresses are taken with point totals plus the bonus added from largest to smallest in order—the first address at 3x bonus to the last slightly above 1x. Now everyone has received their well-deserved compensation for speaking out on eco-friendly electricity usage. This now can be seen on a linear bonding curve from 1x+ to 3x.

The most significant point total is in the beginning. The next highest Sacrificees point total is next, and so forth. Days 1 and 2 will have the max bonus allowed at 3x; day 3 will start at 2.5x, and days 12-14 have a flat bonus of 1.25x.

Dual Company Goals:

Decrease BTC Mining Electricity Usage worldwide
Using total off-grid power sources.
Using other renewable power sources
Wind, solar, hydro, wave, and flare capping gases reduce the environmental impact of BTC mining.
Environment voice
Sustain it for generations to come
Reduce Emissions
100% carbon-less emission via MPG (magnetic power generating system)
