A new form of donation to support historical discoveries: BGT Project

The BGT (BiG Treasure) project empowers individuals worldwide to support historical discoveries through blockchain-powered donations, enabling faster progress on uncovering lost treasures like the Titanic and Musashi, beyond the limits of government-led efforts.

Project and platform
vision and mission

Facilitate financing for important historical discoveries

Provide a platform that connects explorers and donors directly

Make the discovery process and results transparent and share them with all participants

 Build a global community through contributions to historical discovery

Wisdom from history, contribution to the future

The philosophy underlying the BGT project dates back to an innovative business model over 400 years ago. Founded in 1602, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) is known as the world's first joint stock company. The VOC raised funds from private investors and used the funds to conduct extensive overseas exploration and trade. This system has made it possible for ordinary citizens to participate in global adventures and share their achievements. New trade routes were discovered, profits from the pepper and tea trade were shared, and risks such as sinking and shipwreck were spread out.

Diversification of risk

If there is only one ship owner, if the ship sinks or is attacked by pirates, it will be a total loss. If all the co-investors share the risk, you won't suffer a total loss and can recover it at the next opportunity.

Liquidity of funds

When you need cash on hand, you can choose to sell just 10% of the ship's rights instead of selling the entire ship.

Transparency

Although the general public could participate in the VOC, the major shareholders were Her Majesty the Queen, aristocrats, and large merchants. For this reason, the captain, who was the business owner, had to regularly report to the powerful people who were the investors.

BGT Project

 Donation-based model

The aim is to uncover human wisdom and contribute to cultural heritage, not financial gain.

 Global participation

Anyone around the world can participate, without geographical restrictions.

Diversity of projects

We support historical discoveries in all countries and fields, not just a specific country.

Public use of results

The results of discoveries will be widely shared as the common heritage of humanity.

A new era of historical discovery begins here. Would you like to join the BGT project and embark on a journey to recover lost human history?
