Doggone it — the now iconic picture of a smirking Shiba Inu just became the most expensive meme to sell as a non-fungible token, or NFT.

The dog meme known as “doge” was sold in an auction Friday for approximately $4 million to an unidentified buyer with the Twitter handle @PleasrDAO.

The bidder, in an apparent gag, paid for the meme via cryptocurrency Ether — handing over 1,696.9 of the cyber coins.

The money goes to Japanese kindergarten teacher Atsuko Sato, the owner of the actual Shiba Inu dog pictured in the meme. Her sale of the “doge” meme took place on digital auction website Zora, where it sold in just three days.
