The Lisk Foundation breaks down their financials, including monthly expenditures, in a report every month. Invezz presents the highlights.
Total AssetsIn August, Lisk’s fiat assets amounted to EUR 5,252,163.84 and around CHF 613,000.

Ending and BuybacksThe Lisk Foundation holds USDC to cover costs for two years after the first year, in which it continuously liquidates Bitcoin (BTC/USD) in order to have sufficient fiat.
