Today, let us learn what is a buy back and burn, how it works, and what are the benefits of the SRK Buy Back and Burn program to the SparkPoint community.

What is Buy Back?

In cryptocurrency, buy back happens when a cryptocurrency company buys its own token to raise demand. Fewer tokens on the market mean higher demand, hence driving the value of the tokens upward. Cryptocurrency buy backs are beneficial for three reasons: 1) Buy backs signify a profitable cryptocurrency, 2) Buy backs are more profitable than dividends, and 3) Buy backs increase the value of a cryptocurrency.

To remove a token from circulation, miners and developers obtain these tokens and send them to specialized addresses that have unobtainable private keys. These tokens are sent to space outside of the circulating supply. Without access to the private key, no one can use these tokens for transaction purposes, thus; it becomes unusable for all activities. Read more Cryptocurrency ‘Burning’: Can It Manage Inflation?
