TRON (TRX) Founder Justin Sun Says Warren Buffett Owns Bitcoin And Still Holds

JAKARTA – Justin Sun is the founder of TRON (TRX) who now serves as Grenada's representative for the WTO. Besides TRX, Sun also owns another cryptocurrency, BitTorrent (BTT).

Not long ago, Justin Sun named one of the legendary investors who still holds Bitcoin (BTC) and Tron (TRX). The seasoned investor is Warren Buffett.

The reason is, Buffett is an investor who views cryptocurrencies cynically. He and his confidant, Charlie Munger, often make negative statements about cryptocurrencies.

Not without reason Sun issued a statement that Buffett still holds BTC and TRX. Apparently, Sun and Buffett met in February 2020 at a $4.5 million charity event with the "Oracle of Omaha."

At that time, Sun gave a gift of a Samsung Galaxy Fold 2 cellphone to Warren Buffett. While on the phone, there is a crypto wallet containing 1 Bitcoin and 1,930,830 TRX.

However, not long after dinner, Buffett had time to contact Justin Sun and stated that he had donated the cell phone to a foundation, the GLIDE Foundation.

“I don't own cryptocurrencies. I'll never have it," Buffett said.

The Barkshire Hathaway boss is the seventh richest person on Earth with a net worth of around $97 billion. Buffett is known as the fiercest cryptocurrency critic, along with Charlie Munger and other billionaires like Bill Gates.

Buffett once stated that Bitcoin is equivalent to “rat poison.” The statement was made by the billionaire in 2018, and had sparked a commotion in the crypto community.
