The global non-fungible token market is experiencing a significant resurgence, often referred to as “NFT 2.0”. Unlike the initial NFT market cycle, which was driven by speculative digital art and profile pictures, this new wave is characterized by utility-driven assets and integration into mainstream industries. Billionaire Adam, which has acquired 100 Quirkies NFTs, is one of the bulk collectors this NFT season.
Billionaire Adam Acquires 100 Quirkies NFTs
In a January 15 blog post, the Quirkies NFT team confirmed that Adam Weitsman, a businessman, collector, and longtime advocate for digital innovation, has completed the purchase of 100 Quirkies in a private transaction. Launched in 2022, Quirkies Originals is a non-fungible token collection featuring a limited edition of 5,000 unique, generative characters on the Ethereum blockchain.

The Quirkies NFT collection was designed as metaverse personas that celebrate individuality with diverse traits, forming the foundational layer of a larger Quirkies ecosystem with companion NFTs and utility through quests, lore, and apparel. Each of the 5,000 NFTs features unique combinations of hundreds of visual traits, reflecting personal quirks. These NFTs serve as unique avatars and gateways to a developing digital world with community, utility, and storytelling.
Billionaire Adam’s acquisition represents the largest single transaction sale and transfer in the Quirkies ecosystem in its nearly 4-year history and underscores growing confidence in the project’s enduring community and vision during a period where NFTs and digital collectibles are showing strength. The seller of Quirkies NFTs is the widow and family of the late “ETH Whale Dave,” who tragically passed away in March 2025.
Billionaire Adam’s NFT Journey
Billionaire Adam Weitsman is a renowned industrialist, entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist, and crypto investor. Most recent estimates from his business and entertainment finance outlets place Adam Weitsman’s net worth within a broad range of approximately $1.2 billion to $1.5 billion, with some outliers publishing lower or higher figures. Adam serves as CEO of “Weitsman Recycling,” which has become the largest privately held scrap metal recycling company on the East Coast.
NFT investor Adam Weitsman officially entered the NFT market in early 2023, marked by a high-profile $1.6 million purchase. Adam has substantially increased his NFT holdings by acquiring 5,000 Otherside NFTs (including Otherdeeds and Kodas) directly from Yuga Labs to support their metaverse project, as well as 229 Meebits in an over-the-counter deal. He is also actively managing the HV-MTL project’s intellectual property.
His recent transaction underscores a continued commitment to foundational digital assets and long-term holders amid broader challenges in the NFT market. He views Quirkies Originals NFTs as one of the vibrant, strong, and community-driven projects leading the way into the future. “I’ve always believed in supporting the builders and communities that make this space special,” said Adam Weitsman. He added:
“Quirkies are special. When I got my 1 of 1, I realized how strong and present the community was. A lot of people love this project. I’m a believer, and I’m grateful for this opportunity to also help acquire such a meaningful collection. They’re in good hands.”
