Completely f*cking INSANE.
Flew out to our dino lab today to see the @OnRallyRd Stegosaurus, now complete + fully mounted.
I’ve NEVER been more POSITIVE that a dinosaur will sit next to every $1M+ game-worn jersey and every trophy collectible in EVERY tier-1 collection.
✨Timing is everything…
Karuizawa is, today, once of the most important and most historically successful names in Japanese whisky.
🥃 In 2011, After nearly 60 years in business, it was forced to halt production just a couple years before a Japanese whisky was named best in the world, catapulting Japanese single malts into an entirely new stratosphere and creating hundreds of millions of dollars in new value for the category.
🥃 In 2015, the world found out how important the now out-of-production Karuizawa was when it overtook Macallan in the World Malt Whisky Index.
🥃 In 2017, a single Karuizawa bottle sells for $128,000 just four years after it was purchased for $15K, setting a world record.
🥃 In 2021, a local, Shigeru Totsuka, saw an opportunity. He was well funded, and his family had been making sake for 16 generations, so he understood history and heritage. He purchased Karuizawa and brought back the master original Karuizawa master distiller, and rebuilt the distillery in nearly the exact layout as the original, down to sourcing the same water for the barrels.
🥃 In 2022, 20 of the first “test casks” were filled, and the story of Karuizawa picked up where it left off.
…2 sister casks from that text batch, and the first inaugural 2023 casks — next up, on Rally.
Today was supposed to be the public IPO of a Stegosaurus @OnRallyRd
That didn't happen.
We got a bunch of press and launched a reservation system when we realized it would probably sell out quick
Taylor Swift quick.
By end of day 12/16, all $13,750,000 of the IPO was gone...
My friends/former co-workers at @OnRallyRd are doing something incredibly cool.
They're selling shares in a dinosaur that is currently being excavated.
As the dig continues, & more bone is potentially uncovered, the value increases — so it's basically the first dino lottery.
A Stegosaurus is currently being excavated in Wyoming.
Investors will soon be able to buy $68.75 shares in the ongoing dig via @OnRallyrd.

Dinosaurs belong in museums.
They belong in the homes of billionaires.
They belong in a portfolio.

Ever wanted to own a large dinosaur fossil? Well, unless you're a billionaire chances are you won't be able to. What if I told you that you could invest in one of the rarest full dinosaur skeletons before it's sold to a billionaire, museum, or other buyer? h/t @OnRallyRd ⬇️
