Bigger Entertainment is a crypto record label that gets music artists to donate 20% of their royalties to buying SHIB that will be burned later on. The company also sells non-fungible tokens (NFTs), merch, and tickets to music events.
This company started their SHIB burn campaign back in October 2021, and since then they have burned relatively one billion SHIB, including the 103.2 million that was burned recently.
Over the past 5 days, close to 150 million SHIB has been destroyed, according to the data provided by Etherscan. By now, a total of 410.3 trillion SHIB have been burned, which is relatively 41% of the overall SHIB supply which initially amounted to one quadrillion.
