South African here, I’m also wondering how they acquired so much Bitcoin. The figure is slightly inflated as it’s the value at Bitcoin’s high earlier this year, but it’s still a lot. My theory is lots of international customers as I don’t see our market being big enough, thumb sucking, but I reckon 2/3 of our country earns less than 500USD a month. Maybe their customers are from other African countries, but it feels unlikely to be enough. Perhaps they had some “whale” clientele from several different countries. I wouldn’t personally think the “Afri” in their name is particularly meaningful, it’s just a naming thing, but maybe some people treat it differently.
