Taking to Twitter to set the record straight, MrBeast, who notably became the first individual streamer to surpass the 300 million YouTube subscriber mark, firmly denied the rumors. “I could probably launch a meme coin and make hundreds of millions of dollars but idk. Just feels icky, I’ll pass,” he said. While his response directly shut down the speculation, it sparked an unexpected wave of backlash. Some fans took to social media, labeling him “greedy” in a viral tweet and questioning why he would refuse to launch a meme coin while still capitalizing on his brand in other ways. Reacting to the criticism, MrBeast adopted a humorous tone, tweeting, “What is life anymore,” while expressing his surprise at being called greedy for not creating the coin. His response ignited further debate among fans. While some applauded his decision to stay away from the cryptocurrency hype, others argued that his stance was hypocritical.

MrBeast Sets The Record Straight Regarding Meme Coin Rumors

This latest news comes after MrBeast announced a possible offer to purchase TikTok, a bold move that comes amid significant uncertainty surrounding the platform’s future. Recent developments and regulatory changes have placed TikTok’s long-term stability into question, making this potential acquisition even more noteworthy. The YouTuber and entrepreneur first hinted at his interest in acquiring TikTok back in January, sparking widespread speculation. According to MrBeast, his initial remarks were taken seriously, with multiple billionaires reaching out to explore the feasibility of the idea. While he has kept details under wraps, he recently confirmed that he’s actively working to make the purchase a reality.

The platform’s troubles began during the Trump administration, which saw TikTok come under intense scrutiny over data security concerns. More recently, President Biden signed a bill in April 2024 requiring ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, to sell its shares in the platform or face a U.S. Ban. However, ByteDance failed to comply within the nine-month deadline, leading to TikTok’s temporary shutdown in the U.S. On January 19. During this time, users saw a message stating the app hoped to return after the inauguration of President Trump. Since then, TikTok has resumed normal service in the U.S., thanks to an executive order by President Trump extending the timeframe to resolve the issue.
