He explained the company’s monetary assets as of November 2022 included over 450,000,000 FTM (currently worth $96.84 million), over $100 million in stablecoins, $100 million in other cryptos, and $50 million in non-crypto assets.

In the report, Cronje chronicled a detailed timeline of Fantom’s finances, starting from 2018 to until now. The DeFi developer also listed out the company’s major expenses that included listing fees for exchanges and payments to influencers. Cronje noted,

“Don’t try to compete with competitors for integrations, listings, partnerships. Unlike most of our competitors, the foundation owns a relatively small amount of FTM. At launch, Fantom owned less than 3%, today we own more than 14%. We prefer buying our token, we don’t sell our tokens for partnerships.”
