Recent on-chain data shows that in the last 24 hours, more than 17 million SHIB have been burned. A few hours after that, a slightly bigger amount of the meme crypto was sent to a dead wallet.
Meanwhile, this Shiba Inu burning company has announced that it already has over 186 million SHIB to be burned at the upcoming burn party.
36.8 million SHIB gone just like that
The users behind the @Shibburn Twitter handle (dedicated to burning SHIB with their own website) have announced that in the past 24 hours, a total of 17,414,803 SHIB tokens has been sent to a dead wallet. That took nine transfers from the SHIB Army.
This was followed by a greater amount of meme crypto destroyed—19,415,027 Shiba Inu tokens were moved to the "inferno" unspendable address in only two transactions.
The same Twitter account has recently reported that, according to Etherscan, 1,321,145,209 SHIB tokens were destroyed in January. Shibburn has also stated that it is preparing to announce new projects for burning Shiba Inu soon.
Shiba Inu has also recently inked a partnership with a chain of Welly's fast food restaurants, where the token will be accepted as payment.

186 million SHIB waiting to be burned
The company that has been actively destroying the canine crypto since mid-fall last year, Bigger Entertainment, has recently announced the date of another event to burn SHIB—Valentine's Day—live on YouTube. The announcement appeared on its web page, where upcoming SHIB-related events are listed.
By now, there are 186,199,422 SHIB in the burning pot. However, the company's founder, Steven Cooper, has recently tweeted to encourage the SHIB Army to help increase this sum by purchasing $5 tickets to the event or through buying NFTs, merch or listening to playlists on the website.
Part of the royalties, as agreed to with the musicians, will be used to buy SHIB tokens and burn them later on. At the moment, according to Cooper's recent tweet, they need to raise another $6,000 to make the Feb. 14 burn party the biggest one yet.
The previous burn party was conducted on Dec. 26, when more than 239.6 million SHIB were moved out of the circulating supply.

As the cryptocurrency market began to recover, led by flagship cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Shiba Inu has regained half of its recent losses too.
The second largest meme token has surged over 50% after its recent bottom, where it had been trading until Feb. 6. Within only a day, SHIB soared from $0.00002320 to $0.00003520 on Feb. 7—a rise by 51.70%.
At the moment, the token is changing hands at a price slightly lower, sitting at $0.00003299. This is around 62% below the all-time high of $0.00008845 that the token hit in late October.
