The actor joined the NFT market with a collection that combines his signature humor and love of giving back to the community. In a recent interview, Murray stated that he would only participate in NFTs if they could be both fun and do some good in the process.
The Bill Murray NFTs include generative art made by the actor, written stories from his life, access to live events, and membership in a private community. The sales from the collection benefited the Chive Charity as well as other causes, including Goat Hill, a rehabbed community space saved from development.
