Bigger Entertainment has also been burning large amounts of Shiba Inu on a regular basis, but it has not been burning SHIB every month.
The most recent burn party took place on Feb. 14, and the one before it was on Dec. 26. The project started burning tokens back at the end of October last year and, since then, has destroyed over a billion SHIB.
The company uses part of its revenues from selling SHIB merch, NFTs, tickets to events, games, YouTube, etc., to buy Shiba Inu and then move them to a dead wallet.
