Group Operating as a Basketball-Focused DAO Receives All 25 Fire-Tier Editions of Team Coached by NBA Legend Rick Barry

LOS ANGELES, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the BIG3 announced that Krause House, a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) governed by a community of basketball lovers, has agreed to purchase 25 Fire-Tier editions of a BIG3 team, receiving ownership-like value and utility in the team.

"We are thrilled to have Krause House on board," said BIG3 co-founder, Jeff Kwatinetz. "They are a leader in the decentralized ownership space and our missions have been aligned from the start. Krause House deeply understands the deep roots basketball has in community and collaboration and we know that they will be a key partner as we continue to add influential and diverse members to our league."

This announcement follows the landmark purchase of three BIG3 Team Fire-Tier allotments by renowned entrepreneurs, investors, and leaders of NFT communities DeGods and DogeCoin/MyDoge. These purchases are part of the BIG3's new model of ownership announced earlier this month which leverages blockchain technology to sell NFTs offering ownership-like benefits. The team receiving Krause House's investment will be announced at a later date.

"We couldn't be more excited to be involved with a league like the BIG3," said Flex Chapman of Krause House. "They've done an incredible job growing the brand, and our community is excited to help The Ball Hogs win a ring."
