Ang bagong may-ari ng sign ay isang taong dumaan sa hawakan ng Squirrekkywrath, ayon sa isang tweet mula sa PubKey.
Walang gaanong nalalaman tungkol sa bagong may-ari nito. Ang pinuno ng pananaliksik sa Galaxy, si Alex Thorn, ay nagsabi na siya ay isang “Bitcoin OG na hindi pa narinig ng ONE .”
Sa isang naunang panayam sa CoinDesk, Christian Langalis, na humawak sa sign, ay nagsabi na ang mga nalikom ay mapupunta para pondohan ang kanyang startup, ang Tirrel Corp, na bumubuo ng isang Bitcoin Lightning network wallet sa Urbit.
Matapos hawakan ang karatula sa isang pagdinig ng House Financial Services noong 2017, inihatid si Langalis palabas ng gusali dahil sa paglabag sa mga panuntunan ng komite - habang tumatagal, nagiging viral ang larawan sa web.
