Amidst this news, users on X have casted doubts on whether the company could afford to purchase the bitcoin it claims. Bitcoin Magazine reached out to Nilam Resources for comment, and is awaiting their response.

I removed my tweet about that gold explorer buying 24k BTC, after a commenter pointed out that it’s indeed a stunt from a dying penny stock (market cap of $5M). Perhaps it’s a harbinger of what will come, but this, indeed, is _not_ huge news.
