PleasrDAO
PleasrDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) established in 2021 with a primary focus on the collective acquisition and curation of digital art through the fractionalization of non-fungible tokens (NFTs).[1][2][3]
Background[edit]
On June 9, 2021, PleasrDAO purchased an NFT tied to an image of the Doge meme for over 1,696.9 ETH (over $4 million) in an auction organized by Atsuko Sato, the owner of the dog from the meme image.[4][5][3] The auction took place on Zora (NFT Marketplace).[6]
The company purchased Wu-Tang Clan’s art piece Once Upon a Time in Shaolin for $4 million from the federal government to satisfy a judgement against its previous owner, Martin Shkreli.[1][3]
On April 16, 2021, PleasrDAO acquired Edward Snowden's Stay Free NFT for 2,224 ETH (approximately $5.5 million).[3][7] The acquisition supported the Freedom of the Press Foundation, with Snowden serving as president.[3][7]
