Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus has made a remarkable comment on Bitcoin’s recent rally and has re-disclosed his BTC holdings.
Markus, known by the pseudonym "Shibetoshi Nakamoto" on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) and other platforms, excited his followers. This striking statement, made right after Bitcoin reached its ATH (all-time high), attracted attention.
"I won't sell for up to $1 billion"
Known for his humorous and ironic style, Markus stated that he does not plan to sell Bitcoin until its value reaches $1 billion. Despite Dogecoin currently having a market cap of $54.2 billion, Markus stated that all the money he has made from DOGE is only $10,000. Markus revealed earlier this year that he sold Dogecoin and other crypto assets in 2015 and used them to buy a Honda Civic.
Although Markus’s prediction has created excitement among his followers, it seems unlikely that Bitcoin will reach $1 billion at the moment. However, strong inflows from spot ETFs, US President Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency-friendly policies, and increasing enthusiasm in the market are positive signals that Bitcoin’s rise will continue.
Apart from Bitcoin, Markus also has investments in Ethereum (ETH). However, he stated that he sold some of these ETH at a loss a few years ago to cover his tax payments.
In a tweet on November 15, Markus made an ironic comment about those who expected Bitcoin to reach $1 million instantly: “Why hasn’t Bitcoin reached $1 million yet? I’ve been waiting for 2 days. Crypto is a scam!” he said with a humorous expression.
This comment once again revealed Markus' humorous approach to the cryptocurrency world.
