The Twitter account of a major SHIB burner has boasted burning slightly over 324 million Shiba Inu tokens so far this month, apparently planning to destroy more while February continues.

$8,573 worth of SHIB burned

Twitter account @317_key, which represents Travis Johnson's SHIB burn games, has spread the word that so far in February, the overall amount of 324,611,889 SHIB has been moved to a dead Shiba Inu address; that is the equivalent of $8,573.

This amount of canine tokens was destroyed by Feb. 19, and the cash earned for buying SHIB that were burned later came from three sources, according to the company's website. That was daily advertising revenue made by the Bricks Buster and Candy Trips mobile games.

The ad revenue came in portions of $7,830 and $743, correspondingly. Those sums bought 295,137,580 and 28,006,030 SHIB tokens.

37.7 million burned in one day

A third game was also mentioned there, ZOMBIE ASSASIN, but it has so far earned the company as little as $48 in February: 1,808,590 Shiba Inu.

In an earlier tweet, the company promised to release a new product on the website that would also help to burn more SHIB.

On Feb. 17, the company burned 37,707,390 within a single day—$1,000 worth of the meme token.
