The post, sent from Dorsey's account in March of 2006,
received offers on Friday that went as high as $88,888.88 within minutes of the
Twitter co-founder tweeting a link to the listing on 'Valuables by Cent' - a
tweets marketplace.
Old offers for the tweet suggest that it was put for sale in
December, but the listing gained more attention after Dorsey's tweet on Friday.
NFTs are digital files that serve as digital signatures to
certify who owns photos, videos and other online media.
Dorsey's 15-year old tweet is one of the most famous tweets
ever on the platform and could attract bidders to pay a high price for the
digital memorabilia. The highest bid for the tweet stood at $100,000 at 0125
GMT on Saturday.
Launched three months ago, Valuables compares the buying of
tweets with buying an autographed baseball card. "There is only one unique
signed version of the tweet, and if the creator agrees to sell, you can own it
forever."
A tweet's buyer will get an autographed digital certificate,
signed using cryptography, that will include metadata of the original tweet,
according to the Valuables website. The tweet will continue to be available on
the Twitter website.
