After Vitalik Buterin Sale, STRAYDOG Signals Confidence With Buybacks and Long-Term Burn Strategy

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin sold STRAYDOG tokens over the past twenty four hours according to on chain data. The tokens were originally received via airdrop from community and team nearly four months ago.

The sale occurred near recent price lows during a broader period of market weakness. Similar sales by Buterin in past cycles have often coincided with shifts in market attention rather than extended downside.

In mid-December 2025, blockchain analytics tracked a token movement from an address widely presumed to belong to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. That wallet sold 29,500 KNC and 30.5 million STRAYDOG tokens, converting them into roughly 15,900 USDC and some ETH — a relatively modest sum in crypto terms, reflecting routine portfolio adjustments rather than a fundamental shift in his views on major ecosystems like Ethereum itself.

For smaller tokens with low liquidity like STRAYDOG, however, even these routine moves can temporarily exacerbate price volatility. Lower-cap meme-style tokens typically have thinner markets, so large on-chain sales can trigger short-term price swings simply because there are fewer buyers and sellers at any given price level.

Following the transaction STRAYDOG team began purchasing tokens on the open market. The team confirmed that purchased tokens will be allocated toward a future burn.

According to the team two hundred thousand dollars worth of bought STRAYDOG tokens will be burned once the token reaches a ten million dollar market capitalization reducing circulating supply.

Market participants are now watching on chain activity as the project approaches the announced milestone.

The project maintains a fat treasury valued at hundreds of thousand of dollars, enabling the development team to continue conducting ongoing buybacks rather than a one time purchase. The team also stated that it plans to burn $200,000 worth of bought STRAYDOG tokens at every additional $10 million increase in market capitalization, further reducing circulating supply over time.
