200,000 Holders & Growing: BlockDAG’s Expanding Grassroots Network Pre-Launch

BlockDAG Secures 200K+ Holders Pre-Mainnet with $371M Presale & Global Partnerships

For most Layer-1 projects, community growth begins after a listing. Marketing teams then race to generate awareness, attract holders, and drive engagement across channels. BlockDAG is showing it can be different. Before producing its first mainnet block, it has already built a base of more than 200,000 holders across the globe, a milestone many networks take years to achieve. This is part of a wider strategy that has seen BDAG raise $371 million in its presale, distribute 25 billion coins, and attract more than 2.5 million users through the X1 mobile mining app.

Why Holder Numbers Are Crucial Ahead of Launch

Holder numbers are more than a headline figure. A substantial base creates early network effects, higher liquidity, increased transaction activity, and wider peer-to-peer usage from the outset. In decentralized networks, value scales with participation. By securing 200K holders before its debut, BDAG has effectively accelerated these effects, preparing for a more active and liquid market from day one.

This growth hasn’t come from a single effort but from a layered strategy aimed at reaching multiple segments of the crypto audience. The X1 mobile miner has been central, allowing anyone with a smartphone to earn BDAG with minimal energy consumption.

This has introduced millions to the network in a low-barrier way, converting many into holders over time. Hardware mining has added another entry point, with more than 19,200 X-Series units sold globally, drawing in participants who contribute not only financially but also to the network’s infrastructure.

Partnerships Expanding Community Reach

Well-planned partnerships have broadened BDAG’s exposure. Collaborations with Inter Milan, UFC champion Alex Pereira, and professional teams like the Seattle Seawolves and Seattle Orcas have placed the project in front of global audiences. These relationships go beyond visibility, incorporating fan rewards, tokenized memorabilia, and event-linked incentives that turn casual followers into engaged participants.

Accessibility is another driver. The X1 app makes mining possible in minutes without specialized hardware or technical knowledge, attracting participants far outside the typical crypto demographic. Paired with affordable hardware solutions and an EVM-compatible environment for developers, BDAG offers multiple entry routes for those interested in contributing to or building on the network.

Strategic Funding Supporting Early-Stage Growth

Reaching 200K holders before launch requires more than a compelling idea, it demands resources to sustain momentum. BDAG’s $371 million in presale funding has allowed for large-scale outreach, developer programs, and early engagement initiatives well ahead of mainnet. This approach means the project is already operating at an international scale without relying on post-launch revenue to grow.

A broad, globally distributed holder base puts BDAG in a favorable position to maintain liquidity once trading begins. This diversity reduces dependence on a small number of large holders and helps smooth price movements. It also signals to newcomers that there is already a large, active group ready to transact when the network goes live.

Summing Up

Securing 200,000 holders before launch is not just a milestone for BDAG, it is a strategic advantage. In a market where many projects struggle to gain traction post-launch, BDAG shows that with the right mix of accessibility, high-visibility partnerships, and substantial early funding, it is possible to create a strong grassroots foundation ahead of time.

With mainnet launch approaching, a $600 million presale target in sight, and millions already participating via mobile mining, BDAG is stepping into the Layer-1 arena with what few can claim, a large, committed global community ready to transact, build, and support the network from its very first block.
