NASHVILLE, TN – Looking for more cash over the holidays? How about a treasure hunt? A Bitcoin millionaire has hidden over $2 million worth of loot across the U.S., and he’s giving out clues to help you find it. No, it’s not some elaborate holiday prank—it’s a real-life adventure with serious prizes for anyone willing to take a shot at cracking the code.
Meet the Entrepreneur Behind the Hunt
Jon Collins-Black, a man who made his fortune investing in Bitcoin, has turned his love for adventure into a nationwide treasure hunt. After spending years assembling an impressive collection of valuables, Collins-Black has tucked away five chests filled with rare items across the U.S. He’s not just offering cash or standard treasures—this loot includes everything from gold coins recovered from shipwrecks to one-of-a-kind sports trading cards, with a little bit of history and mystery thrown in for good measure.
The Hidden Treasures
Collins-Black’s treasure isn’t just cash in a chest. No, these chests hold some pretty remarkable items, and they appeal to a variety of treasure hunters. Inside the five chests, you’ll find valuable sports memorabilia like a 1986 Michael Jordan rookie card, precious historical artifacts including a gold Greek laurel from the 4th century BCE, and a diamond-and-sapphire brooch that once belonged to Jacqueline Onassis. Oh, and there’s a rare lunar rock specimen tucked away in one of the chests, too.
Perhaps the most intriguing item of all? A single Bitcoin, worth nearly $100,000 at the time of writing. And given how volatile the crypto market can be, that value could skyrocket by the time someone finally cracks the clues and unearths it.
The Book of Clues
What’s a treasure hunt without clues, right? Collins-Black has provided a handy guide, a book titled There’s Treasure Inside, packed with puzzles and maps to help seekers find the hidden chests. You won’t need to be a puzzle-solving genius or a cryptography expert to figure it out—he says all you need is a curious mind and a little imagination to decipher the riddles. Whether you’re a seasoned treasure hunter or just someone looking to shake things up this holiday season, the clues are meant to be fun and accessible for everyone.
The Treasure Hunt is Safe and Accessible
Not to worry, there’s no danger involved in this treasure hunt. Collins-Black has made sure the chests are placed in safe, public spots—none are buried underground or hidden in hazardous locations. All five chests are within three miles of a public road and none of them are on private property. So, while you might need a good pair of hiking boots, you won’t need to venture into unknown territory to find these treasures.
Why He Did It
Collins-Black says he came up with the idea for the treasure hunt during the COVID-19 lockdown. Wanting to spark some excitement and adventure in the world, he decided to put his fortune to good use by creating a challenge that would inspire people to get outdoors, solve puzzles, and engage with something a little different than your usual holiday festivities.
A Familiar Adventure
This treasure hunt is not the first of its kind. Back in 2010, New Mexico art dealer Forrest Fenn hid a chest filled with gold and jewels worth about $2 million somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. He released a cryptic poem full of clues, and for almost a decade, treasure hunters scoured the mountains trying to figure it out. The chest was finally found in 2020, though not without some controversy—Fenn’s death that same year left many wondering about the true story behind the find.
Collins-Black’s treasure hunt adds a new twist to the tradition, though he seems to have learned a few things from Fenn’s experience. For starters, his chests are easier to access—and safer—for treasure hunters of all kinds.
So, if you’re looking for an adventure that could also pay off handsomely, start solving some clues. Who knows? You could be the one to uncover the hidden riches just in time for the holidays. Happy hunting! And hey, if you find the treasure – remember we were the ones to tell you all about it! Hehe.
