Dogecoin co-founder Billy Markus revealed that he owns a small Bitcoin stash on February 14. Markus stated on X (formerly Twitter) that he has just under 0.006 Bitcoin assets to his name. His Bitcoin holding is currently worth $311.21 at press time.

At its core, Dogecoin is a fork of a defunct coin called Luckycoin, which is a fork of Bitcoin.

It also operates using the Scrypt algorithm—the same consensus mechanism deployed by the Litecoin network —another Bitcoin fork.

Regardless, Dogecoin has become a force to reckon with in the industry. Like Bitcoin, it is the premier cryptocurrency in the memecoin ecosystem. It has also caught the fascination of Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who became a huge fan of the asset.

Dogecoin has become part and parcel of the X or Twitter community in the last two years. In recent times, Musk paid for a Falcon-1 rocket using Dogecoin.

Meanwhile, the X corp plans to launch a...
