This thread discusses institutional and high-profile buying pressure for Bittensor (TAO):
- While the market debates whether Bittensor is "real," on-chain wallets already provide the answer.
- Barry Silbert holds about $100 million worth of TAO through DCG and has established Yuma to specifically support Bittensor startups.
- Jason Calacanis, Grant Cardone, and Brian Dixon were also mentioned as recently buying or investing in TAO publicly.
- Chris Miglino's DNA Fund has also committed roughly $50 million in compute power to mine Bittensor subnets.
