The investor purchased 15.15 million GOAT tokens for 5 SOL, which was equivalent to $727 at the time.
Following a dramatic surge in the token’s price, they sold 5.7 million GOAT for 5,949 SOL, approximately $930,000, while retaining 9.4 million GOAT valued at $1.4 million.
Should they decide to sell the remaining tokens, their total profit could reach $2.4 million.
