80,000 Bitcoin gone: What’s left in Luna’s reserve wallet?

The Terra saga continues. In a Twitter thread, the team behind the failed algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST) and the token LUNA shared precisely how much Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto assets they had disposed of.

The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) also promised to “compensate remaining users of $UST, smallest holders first,” with the remaining assets.

In summary, 80,081 BTC, or 99.61% of the Bitcoin that LFG guarded, has exited the fund. The group confirmed the sale of “33,206 $BTC for an aggregate 1,164,018,521 $UST” in a tweet. The remaining 47,188 BTC is not accounted for, while 313 BTC remains in reserve.

Meanwhile, crypto enthusiasts with staked LUNA tokens should see their tokens returned to their wallets in the next 20 days. However, they will be worth less, as LUNA’s price has fallen over 99% since its highs, currently sitting at $0.0002.
