CEO Denelle Dixon announced this decision during the Stellar Meridian conference on Monday. The Foundation now holds 30 billion XLM tokens to support the organization. The tokens are divided into three categories, 12 billion for SDF operations, 6 billion for giveaway programs, and 12 billion for partnership programs.

CEO Dixon said that as much as they wanted to use the XLM tokens that they had, but it was tough to get them into the market. Currently, the XLM is changing hands at $0.0786, with a 24-hour trading volume of $586,794,833
