Cryptocurrency and NFT investment company Lunar Crush will send a wallet key containing 62 bitcoins to the moon.
At the current exchange rate, 62 bitcoins are worth about $1.77 million.
Scheduled to be sent to the surface of the Earth’s moon in the fall of 2023 during the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Artemis 1 mission, these bitcoins will be a reward for the first person to reach them.
“When you set yourself a seemingly unattainable goal, innovation can be incredible. Our goal is to inspire people to create communities that will usher in a new era of discovery. All students, groups, and companies can go to the moon and find treasure there,” said Lunar Crush CEO Joe Vazzini.
