According to PANews, Berachain's anonymous co-founder, Smokey the Bera, shared insights during an interview with Un Chained. He acknowledged that criticisms regarding their early investment decisions are valid. Smokey the Bera expressed that if given the chance to start over, the team might not have sold a significant portion of their supply to venture capital firms. Most of the supply was sold during the seed round in early 2022, a decision made with the belief that it was an interesting opportunity, not anticipating the project's current scale. He noted that the team has been actively working to repurchase shares from the seed and subsequent Series A rounds to minimize community dilution caused by these holdings.
