The ICO was mainly over in less than a minute, and raised 156,250 ethers (~USD 35,957,812.50 @ $230.13/ETH). A total of 1,500,000,000 tokens were created.

366,350,000 tokens were allocated to the BATFund at 0x88e2efac3d2ef957fcd82ec201a506871ad06204 before the ICO commenced. This is after 133,650,00 tokens have already been moved from the BATFund to 0x67fa2c06c9c6d4332f330e14a66bdf1873ef3d2b – the total tokens reserved for the BATFund is 500,000,000 (33.33% of total supply), as can be seen in the smart contract code below. None of these BATFund tokens are frozen for any period of time.

And the 156,250 ethers have been moved to the ETHFundDeposit at 0xac2fa512db158f44f5ee2fa5766ea7c282763cdb in transaction 0x9c15ab19….

From the token smart contract source code, each 1 ETH will purchase 6,400 BAT tokens. 1 ETH = 6,400 BAT. So 1 BAT = 0.00015625 ETH.

At an ETH/USD rate of 230.13, 6,400 BAT = 230.13 . So 1 BAT = 0.0359578125 USD.

At the current ETH/BTC rate of 0.10027100, 6,400 BAT = 0.10027100 BTC. So 1 BAT = 0.00001566734375 BTC.
