Happy birthday, Liv🎂 Your life continues to inspire moments like these. Forever loved, forever remembered. Thank you to everyone helping keep Liv's memory alive and spreading joy in Asteroid's name. ❤️

A small donation can make a huge difference. ❤️ If you're part of the Asteroid community, let's come together for a cause that truly matters. Even $16—or whatever you can give—helps families going through the unimaginable. Let's show what this community is made of.

Asteroid the Shiba, with the fluffiest ears is no ordinary pup, he's a space pioneer! He ventures the cosmos wagging his tail with delight then returns back to Earth for snuggles at night... while a slightly jealous Pomeranian keeps a close eye on him.

During Consensus, I was asked several times about the story of ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 as far as we were aware. Many people were pleasantly surprised by how we managed to exit our position without damaging the community. This is the summary. When we set up the process for accepting crypto donations at @stjude, we set the criteria that we would convert the assets donated as soon as reasonably possible. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is focused on leading the way that the world understands, treats, and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. While we (the crypto industry) may wish the world would leap forward and be more on-chain, that isn't how it currently exists and we need dollar denoted currencies to run the hospital. Nearly 2 years ago, .5% of ASTEROID was sent to the St. Jude ETH wallet. We didn't have a way to readily convert it into US Dollars, so we left it in the wallet. Due to external factors, the token went from a market cap of ~$20k to over $150M. Our position fluctuated between $500k and $1M in valuation. I had several messages asking if what we were going to do, and I responded to a few that we were figuring it out. The next 48 hours were a whirlwind of approvals, but I knew two things. We would need to go to a DEX (a first for our mission) and that we would need to avoid hurting the community. Leadership understood and gave approval for the approach and we proceeded. Some people may disagree with how we did it, but I believe it to be the best option out of the ones that we had. Over 2 days, we proceeded to exit the position in 12 varying sized tranches. During the entire process, we kept an eye on liquidity of the token and did our best to ensure it never dropped below $3.5M and that the Net Buy pressure didn't exceed $75k. We exited the position with over 290 ETH valued at ~$676k. Thank you to the ethereum:0xf280b16ef293d8e534e370794ef26bf312694126 community that came together on this asset. These monies will go a long way in support of the life saving mission of St. Jude. Disclaimer: Discussion of a token is not an endorsement of the token, do your own research.

Hello Asteroid fam! This is now the official X account for Asteroid Shiba. Over the past few days, we’ve been working hard to update the token logo and X link on Dexscreener, as we no longer have access to the mascot account. We anticipated that the people controlling the mascot X might try something negative, so we’ve been in contact with Dexscreener to switch everything over to this account. Our Telegram community remains the same: Please help us update it on the page, @dexscreener our Order #1784762243082# From now on, this X account will continue to bring you all the latest updates for Asteroid. Thank you to everyone who supports and love Asteroid Shiba! ❤️

This video made by one of our community members before Liv passed away. We hope she can see that we’ve brought Asteroid to the whole world. Asteroid doesn’t just float in zero gravity in space, it has also lit up the dreams of so many people. Thank you, Liv. We miss you.

We also hope @PolarisProgram can restock Asteroid in their official store at the same time! Asteroid was the zero-g indicator for the Polaris Dawn mission. It floated with the crew in microgravity, carrying Liv's dream and supporting @StJude. Bring it back would mean a lot.

In 2024, we purchased some adorable Asteroid. Every single purchase helped donate to @StJude to support children fighting cancer. Now, Asteroid has become the official mascot of SpaceX, we really hope they can reopen sales soon, we’ve seen so many people saying they want one!

Elon is very sweet to answer Liv’s questions and to honor her in this way 🤍 I am fortunate enough to have my very own SpaceX mascot, Asteroid. Designed with love by Liv Perrotto and it’s a reminder that with passion and love, anything is possible! ✨

This is a regret our community still hasn’t fulfilled yet. We went to Japan, but we didn’t get to take a photo with the Shiba statue. Liv’s dream scene! If any ASTEROID Shiba friends are heading to Japan soon, please help us take a picture ❤️

Elon will make one of Liv Perrotto’s final wishes come true. Asteroid (the Shiba Inu zero-g indicator she designed for the Polaris Dawn mission) will be the mascot for SpaceX. Liv sadly passed away this year after a brave 5 year battle with cancer, but she will now forever be remembered with Asteroid. Thank you, Elon 😭❤️

Elon, from the bottom of my broken heart, thank you. ❤️ You’ve kept my beautiful daughter Liv’s memory alive in the most extraordinary way, by making Asteroid, the official mascot for SpaceX. Liv poured her whole soul into designing that little dog in a spacesuit, dreaming of the stars just like you. Seeing her creation soar on Polaris Dawn already brought tears of joy. Knowing it will now be a part of every SpaceX mission, flying among the stars forever? That’s healing I can’t even put into words. You didn’t just honor a young girl’s dream, you are keeping her spirit alive. Liv’s love, her laughter, her unbreakable fight lives on through Asteroid, and every time a Falcon roars or Starship climbs toward orbit, a piece of my girl flies with it. I’m crying grateful tears right now. Thank you for this priceless gift. You’ve turned our deepest pain into something eternal and beautiful among the stars. @elonmusk

Liv, we did it! Asteroid is now the official mascot of SpaceX! Thank you for bringing Asteroid to life. Liv, we can go to space again…Your dream has come true! Thank you @elonmusk for making this possible. Thank you @rebeccaperrotto, our brave and strong mom. We love Liv❤️
