On the 4th of January, 2020, Justin Sun said something bold: <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/max-keiser-makes-new-speculation-based-on-warren-buffetts-japanese-play\">Warren Buffett<\/a>, a billionaire investor, owns cryptocurrency. Through a tweet, Sun claimed that Buffett owns an entire Bitcoin, included an excess of a million TRX tokens.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Technically speaking, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WarrenBuffett?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WarrenBuffett<\/a> is not a Nocoiner, he does own 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/BTC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#BTC<\/a> &amp; over 1 million <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TRX?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TRX<\/a>.

Justin was very quick to point out that the man \u201ctechnically\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/buy-cryptocurrency\">owns some cryptocurrencies<\/a>, in the same way, someone technically owns some prize they\u2019ve locked in their attic because they\u2019ve never use it.<\/p>\n<p>Warren Buffett has generally been seen as a so-called \u201cNocoiner\u201d due to his anti-crypto sentiments, which is true. The so-called Oracle of Omaha has made his stance on crypto quite clear on multiple occasions: He doesn\u2019t own any crypto, and he has no intention of ever doing so. This went as far as going to an interview at the Squawk Box with CNBC\u2019s Becky Quin, claiming that crypto cannot produce anything and has no intrinsic value.<\/p>\n<p>The man even called crypto \u201crat poison squared\u201d in one interview.<\/p>\n<h2>Owning Freely-Given Crypto Is Still Crypto Ownership<\/h2>\n<p>However, Justin Sun had managed to secure a dinner date with Buffett, doing said dinner in February of 2020. At that dinner conference, Sun had given Buffett a pair of Samsung Galaxy Fold smartphones.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Amazing dinner w\/ <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WarrenBuffett?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WarrenBuffett<\/a> finally!

Sun explained this amount was equal to his birthday. Buffett allegedly joked that he wished he was born later, seeing as that would up his token count.<\/p>\n<p>However, directly after that meeting, Buffett returned to his general anti-crypto narratives, claiming he has no crypto holdings whatsoever. Whatever Buffett did with that crypto is unclear, but it seems that Sun\u2019s little conversation didn\u2019t do anything to sway his mind.<\/p>\n<h2>Some Bold Claims Being Made<\/h2>\n<p>Now, crunching the numbers, Warren Buffett has received an initial gift of $45,000 in TRX token, with a token going for around $0.023 apiece at the time. Now, however, the token\u2019s price is around $0.029, which means Buffett earned a 24.43% profit on his holdings, boasting $55.994.07 in TRX tokens afterward. The same goes for Bitcoin, having gone for $10,000 apiece when he was gifted it, the coin is now worth around $31,400, which shows a profit of 314%.<\/p>\n<p>The man, worth more than $80.08 billion thanks to his mainstream investments, is undoubtedly thrilled he now holds roughly $87,400 in crypto. Justin Sun has genuinely shown the public how much of a crypto bull Buffett is through this claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fin-excerpt\">Justin Sun stands as the founder of the Tron crypto platform, and has been a steady source of news for the crypto space for quite <a class=\"read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/insidebitcoins.com\/news\/justin-sun-says-warren-buffet-owns-more-than-1-million-trx-technically\" title=\"Justin Sun Says Warren Buffet Owns More Than 1 Million TRX (Technically)\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1717,"featured_media":258889,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7596],"tags":[7598,7599,7618,7610,8522],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.0 (Yoast SEO v22.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Justin Sun Says Warren Buffet Owns More Than 1 Million TRX (Technically)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Warren Buffett, a billionaire investor, owns cryptocurrency.
