22.8 million SHIB to be burned via Amazon

@shib_superstore is the Twitter page of Travis Johnson, smartphone game developer, whose store sells games, SHIB-branded goods and merch. On a weekly basis, he buys SHIB with a portion of his profits and sends these meme coins to dead-wallets.

In a recent tweet, Johnson spread the word that by now he has earned nearly $300 via the Amazon affiliate program in August in order to buy SHIB with this money and burn it later on. Three hundred dollars equals 22,883,295 Shiba Inu.
