We are devastated to share the heartbreaking news that Bert, our beloved source of inspiration and the heart of everything we’ve built, has passed away. Bert wasn’t just a dog, he was a symbol of joy, resilience, and love. To his owner Kathy Grayson, our team, and the incredible community behind this project, Bert was so much more than we could ever put into words. We had big dreams with Bert. He wasn’t just the face of $BERT, he was its soul. Losing him is a pain that’s hard to express, but even in our heartbreak, we find strength. This is not the end of Bert’s story, it’s the beginning of something even greater. His passing has ignited a fire in all of us to ensure his name and his mission live on forever. In Bert’s honor, we are creating The BERT Foundation, starting with a $100,000 grant to help dogs in need around the world. But we’re not stopping there. We’re also commissioning a statue of Bert, a permanent tribute to his legacy and the movement he inspired. We’re also sharing something deeply personal: a raw, uncut video of Bert filmed by Kathy just one day before he passed. It’s real, heartfelt, and unfiltered, just as this project has always been. Bert deserves to be remembered exactly as he was, and we’re honored to share this moment with the world. Bert now joins a legacy of incredible animals who have shaped the crypto world like $PNUT, the beloved squirrel, and Kabosu, the iconic Shiba Inu behind $DOGE. These animals remind us that behind every meme is a heart, a story, and a mission. Bert will forever stand among them as a symbol of hope and the power of community. Bert united us. He gave us purpose. And now, it’s our turn to carry that forward to ensure every dog in the world feels the love and care that Bert inspired in us all. Every single one of us is Bert. Together, through the power of crypto, community, and compassion, we’ll create a lasting legacy in his name. Rest easy, Bert. Your light will never fade. 🐾💔 #ForBert #BERTForever #HelpingDogsWorldwide

Today, we were honored to welcome U.S. Army Sergeant Matthew Krumwiede home to his mortgage-free, specially adapted smart home in Idaho. On this day 13 years ago, while leading a patrol in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Matthew stepped on an IED — an explosion that changed his life in an instant. He lost both legs above the knee and sustained serious injuries to his left arm, hand, and abdomen. Thanks to the quick actions of his team and medics, Matthew survived and began the long road to recovery. With grit, resilience, and the support of his loved ones, Matthew learned to walk and run again. Since retiring from the Army in 2015, he’s continued to live life on his own terms — from working on a ranch and driving trucks, to volunteering in his community and advocating for other wounded veterans through extreme adaptive sports. Today, we’re proud to give back to this remarkable hero. This specially adapted smart home will give Matthew the freedom and independence he deserves, and we can’t wait to see what he does next. "This home is amazing; beyond all my expectations," said Matthew. "The space in here is so nice and my wheelchair will fit perfectly. It's just absolute freedom." Welcome home, Matthew — and thank you for your service. 💙 A special thank you to the American people and our amazing partners, without whom this would not be possible: Cabinetworks, Schulte Roth & Zabel LLP, and Veterans United We also want to thank the following partners for dedicating their time, energy, generosity, and resources to the construction of Matthew's home: The Marcus Foundation Inc., Sunbelt, Home Depot Foundation, Shubert Design, Owens Corning, DAV, Semper Fi & America’s Fund, Amazon, Huber Engineered Woods W, US LBM, Simple Green, Nice, Duke Cannon, Louisiana Pacific, Installed Building Products, Winston and Strawn, Builders FirstSource, Nucor Rebar Fabrication, Natural Stone Institute, National Wood Flooring Association, Fairbanks Custom Homes, BEHR, Broan NuTone, Daltile, Encore Wire, Lunceford and Exon Excavation, Mapei, North American Moving Services, and Rheem.

Man, this one's gonna be a tough one. Losing a friend and our adopted Bosnian cuts deep. I met Paul in 2019. when we worked on a broadcast project together, unpacking forgotten war crimes in Sarajevo and Bijeljina. This is for you, Paul! | paullowe We lost more than a photographer when #PaulLowe passed away. We lost a witness to our history, a storyteller who showed the world the truths that many wished to ignore. His lens captured more than the horrors of war; it captured the resilience, the survival, the humanity of #Sarajevo at its darkest moment. Paul wasn’t just any outsider. He became one of us, a Bosnian in spirit, returning to live in Sarajevo with his Bosnian wife he met during war. He chose to make this city, scarred but beautiful, his home. In a way, his life mirrored his photography; an intimate connection to our brokenness, but yet utter fucking resilience. His work during the siege was not just about documenting violence. It was about remembering – reminding us that the shattered buildings and the jagged remains of barricades held stories, stories we should never forget. Paul understood that the “textures of destruction,” as he called them, were not just remnants of the past, but warnings and lessons for the future. He spent six months after the war capturing the ruins, not as mere structures, but as symbols of what had been lost and what we must fight to preserve – our history, our humanity. Through his eyes, even devastation carried a haunting, “terrifying beauty,” a strange aesthetic that was both painful and necessary to see. For those of us who knew him, Paul wasn’t just a great artist. He was a kind soul, a man who cared deeply for the people and the stories he photographed. He was someone who became one with his subject, whose empathy was as powerful as his talent. In losing Paul, we’ve lost a piece of Sarajevo’s heart. But through his images, his legacy lives on, forever reminding us of the importance of remembering. Thank you for your service, you amazing man. Rest in power! 🕊️
