Jack Dorsey's First Tweet Becomes NFT

Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey listed an NFT representing his first tweet for auction on the Cent platform's Valuables marketplace. The token was issued on Ethereum, not Bitcoin, and the sale belonged to the NFT boom that was moving digital-asset culture into mainstream media.

The event is retained as a contextual marker because Dorsey was simultaneously one of the most visible corporate Bitcoin advocates. When the auction later closed, he converted the proceeds to Bitcoin and donated them, creating a direct bridge between the NFT spectacle and his Bitcoin-focused public identity.
