Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey now plans to convert the proceeds from the NFT (non-fungible token) auction of his first tweet to bitcoin and donate the sum to charity.

According to a news agency, the person who bought the tweet paid Rs314 million.

Earlier, Twitter co-founder posted a link on the online marketplace of tweet called "Valuables By Cents" last Friday.

According to the news, in the tweet that was sold during the auction, Jack Dorsey had just written “I have just created my Twitter account.”

According to the site, investors and collectors can buy and sell tweets with Twitter signatures.

The highest bid of Rs314 million for Jack Dorsey's tweet was made by Justin Sun, the founder of the cryptocurrency platform Tron.

The news agency quoted Valuables as saying that buying a tweet means that you are buying a digital certificate of tweet which is unique and is verified and signed by the creator of the tweet.

Jack Dorsey's tweet will be visible to everyone as long as he and the Twitter administration keep it online.

It may be recalled that in 2019 Justin Sun met with billionaire Warren Buffett at an auction but he had failed to make him understand the importance of bitcoin.
