Svmuu News: Marc, the head of cryptocurrency donations at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, stated that the hospital received a donation equivalent to 0.5% of the total supply of ASTEROID tokens approximately two years ago. However, due to the lack of compliant exchange channels at the time, the assets remained in the on-chain wallet.
He noted that as ASTEROID's market cap rose from roughly $20,000 to over $150 million, the hospital's holdings were once valued between $500,000 and $1 million. To avoid impacting the community's liquidity, the hospital ultimately sold the holdings in 12 batches over two days, continuously monitoring liquidity throughout the process.
Marc stated that the proceeds totaled over 290 ETH, worth approximately $676,000, and the funds will be used to support the treatment and research of childhood diseases at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
