In 2024, we donated 2.1 billion $ASTEROID tokens to @StJude. Two years later, these tokens reached a peak value of $1 million USD. The main reason for the donation was that Liv herself hoped the revenue from Asteroid dolls could help children with cancer. Inspired by @VitalikButerin, the community also decided to donate the tokens directly to St. Jude. Vitalik once said, “I truly prefer if you guys send to charity directly. I think the best thing for memecoins is if they can be maximally positive-sum for the world.” ASTEROID is doing exactly that right now. At the time, we contacted @sometimesMarc, St. Jude’s crypto donation lead. They were already aware that the community had been donating to them. They responded enthusiastically, followed us, and kept up with our updates. Today, we noticed that the St. Jude wallet has started converting the tokens into ETH. We’re truly grateful that they are putting this donation to good use. I believe they will soon issue a thank-you statement. This marks the first time a memecoin has genuinely delivered real-world charity impact. The St. Jude address still holds around 300 million tokens and has already realized nearly $600,000 USD in donations. We sincerely thank @StJude and @Asteroidcto for making this meaningful act of kindness happen together. We hope @rebeccaperrotto (Liv’s mom) can feel happy about this. It’s a wonderful success. Thank you to everyone who followed this story and helped make it happen. Kids should live in a world where cancer does not exist 🙏
