BitTorrent burns $7.6M in tokens, unveils new blockchain infrastructure plan

BitTorrent burned 21.62 trillion BTT tokens worth about $7.6 million on October 16, using earnings from its decentralized businesses as part of a quarterly buyback-and-burn program started in July. The company also released a new white paper detailing a three-part infrastructure plan involving peer-to-peer content delivery, decentralized GPU computing, and cross-chain blockchain services. This plan integrates BitTorrent's content distribution and computing with blockchain-based settlement under a unified token economy, assigning BTT roles in payments, fees, rewards, staking, and governance. BitTorrent aims to publish detailed transaction records quarterly on a dedicated website.
