“Terra has officially bought $1 billion of bitcoin to back their UST stablecoin with the bitcoin standard. They will continue buying billions more in the coming months.”

What is known about LFG’s plans? The $1 billion bitcoin purchase is designed to increase the stability of UST by creating a reserve fund. The model involves providing liquidity in bitcoin to maintain a stable UST price. If the price of the stablecoin falls below $1, LFG will be able to place the accumulated assets in the BTC/UST pool and provide exchanges with 1 UST in exchange for $0,98 in bitcoin.

The Luna Foundation Guard (LFG), a non-profit organization, is dedicated to promoting open-source technologies and has two main tasks: supporting UST and developing the Terra ecosystem. Terra is a network of blockchains designed to create stablecoins with collateral in the native Luna token. For example, the mechanism for issuing a UST stablecoin involves the burning of LUNA’s native coins at the appropriate cost.

The LFG previously conducted the burning of 4 million LUNA tokens to acquire the external collateral of the UST stablecoin.
