If you invested $100 in DOGE when Elon Musk first tweeted about it in 2019, here’s how much you’d have today.
Here's a look back at how much an investment in Dogecoin would be worth based on a key event in the coin's history.
First Elon Musk Tweet: Billionaire Elon Musk has been one of the biggest supporters of Dogecoin in recent years.
Several tweets by Musk in 2021 and an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" where the billionaire discussed the memecoin led to all-time highs for Dogecoin.
Musk first mentioned the Shiba Inu-themed meme cryptocurrency replying to a user on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in April 2019.
On April 2, 2019, Musk replied to a tweet saying "Dogecoin might be my fav cryptocurrency."
"It's pretty cool," Musk said of winning the fictional title of CEO of Dogecoin at the time via a Twitter poll with 49% of the vote.
Musk beat out Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who got 9% of the vote, Litecoin creator Charlie Lee, who got 8% of the vote and payment-processing platform Metal founder Marshall Hayner, who got 33% of the vote.
Another significant moment for Dogecoin's entry point based on Musk was on July 17, 2020. The billionaire shared a meme of Dogecoin passing the global financial system saying, "It's inevitable."
Musk later acquired Twitter for $44 billion in 2022. The acquisition was widely seen as a positive for Dogecoin. Musk rebranded Twitter to X to get closer to his vision for an "everything app."
With plans to integrate payments into the social media company, some crypto experts and enthusiasts see Dogecoin as a potential winner.
Investing $100 In Dogecoin: The meme coin traded at $0.002552 on April 2, 2019, around the time of Musk's first tweet mentioning Dogecoin. If you bought $100 in Dogecoin at that time, you would have 39,185 DOGE on February 27th 2024.
