In Q1, Do Kwon, the founder of Terra, outlined his company’s plans to purchase $10 million worth of Bitcoin. Since then, the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), the treasury that backs the TerraUSD (UST) stablecoin, has been steadily accumulating Bitcoin.

Last week, Terra’s treasury announced the purchase of $230 million worth of bitcoin on April 6th, and a further $200 million of AVAX on April 8th. The sizable purchases have seen LFG become the nineteenth largest holder of Bitcoin.
