Bitcoin millionaire hides $2 million in treasure across US with cryptic clues

If you’ve ever dreamed of finding hidden treasures, you might be in luck! Bitcoin millionaire Jon Collins-Black has embarked on what he’s called the largest treasure hunt in US history. With five treasure chests hidden across the country, valued at millions of dollars, the hunt is on for adventurous souls who love solving puzzles and exploring.

From shipwreck gold doubloons and rare Pokémon cards to a Michael Jordan rookie card and a physical Bitcoin worth nearly $100,000, the treasures are sure to capture the imagination of treasure hunters of all ages. Collins-Black has even created a guidebook, “There’s Treasure Inside,” packed with stories, maps, and puzzles to help hunters on their quest.

Collins-Black’s childhood in North Carolina, where he spent days chasing lizards and digging for treasure, laid the foundation for this ambitious project. Inspired by his love for adventure and nature, he wanted to create a treasure hunt that would ignite the same sense of wonder in others.

During the Covid-19 lockdown, Collins-Black reflected on his passion for adventure and began collecting treasures to spark excitement in hunters across generations. From Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s diamond sapphire brooch to Olympic gold medals, the treasures are housed in unique puzzle boxes crafted by blacksmith Seth Gould.

To determine the hiding spots, Collins-Black conducted extensive research, hiking over 100 miles and studying maps to find the perfect locations. None of the chests are buried or in dangerous areas; they are all within three miles of a public road on open land, ensuring safety for all participants.

With the hunt already underway, participants are sharing theories and beginning their searches, eager to uncover the hidden treasures. Collins-Black estimates it could take seven to ten years for all the treasures to be found, but for him, the hunt is about more than just a game—it’s about igniting a sense of wonder and adventure in everyone who participates.

So, if you’re up for a challenge and have a curious spirit, grab your map and start hunting for these hidden treasures. Who knows what wonders you might discover on this thrilling, real-life treasure hunt!
