Billionaire Ken Griffin Outbid a Group of Crypto Investors for an Early Copy of the Constitution
Crypto investors who pooled money to purchase the document lost their bid.
Citadel Founder Ken Griffin bought a first printing of the U.S. Constitution which sold for a record-setting $43.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction, the auction house announced Friday.
The auction Thursday garnered attention after a group of crypto investors under the name of ConstitutionDAO said they raised more than $40 million to purchase the document. In a tweet Thursday, the group said they lost their bid.
