Pseudonymous social-media memer BuzzlamicJihad has left Aptos after completing a one-year advisory contract and says he has sold his APT tokens. His next target is Meta, Facebook’s parent company, where he is beginning a new campaign aimed at retail investors and the company’s shares.
From Aptos campaign to advisory role
Buzz, known to friends and family as Buzz, became prominent in crypto during early 2025 after building an unofficial “community takeover” around Aptos. His activity combined repeated slogans, memes and efforts to attract committed investors to the project. Phrases including “Aptos lookin’ good here” and “sidelined?” became associated with the campaign.
The effort gained wider attention in February 2025, when notable influencers joined the discussion and APT rose 17% in 24 hours, according to the reporting. Buzz had begun discussing Aptos publicly in 2024, including claims about the token’s potential to overtake XRP by market capitalization.
In October 2025, he formally joined Aptos as an adviser. At the time, Buzz said he wanted to address what he viewed as the project’s image problem and help present it as a premium stablecoin network.
That arrangement ended after a year. Buzz told Decrypt that neither side appeared willing to extend the contract, describing the separation as mutual. He also said that some of his plans had not developed as intended. Aptos did not respond to Decrypt’s request for comment.
Buzz separately said he had sold his APT tokens. Decrypt reported that APT’s market capitalization had fallen 10.7% since the beginning of October to $607 million, using its own data.
Why Meta is the new focus
Buzz’s interest in Meta is linked to the origin of his interest in Aptos. Aptos was formed by developers from Libra, the now-defunct stablecoin project led by Facebook. Buzz has also said that he made money through Facebook advertising and has strong confidence in the team behind the social-media platform.
His new campaign is already using the style that made his Aptos activity recognizable. He posted “$META looking good here” and said he had moved his communications from Telegram to WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta. However, Decrypt noted that its conversation with Buzz for the article took place on Telegram.
Buzz says the Meta campaign is not simply an attempt to create momentum through memes. In his view, retail investors have been overlooked, particularly following the creation of Class C shares without voting rights. He also argues that Meta has strong underlying business fundamentals and does not need the kind of hostile “takeover” campaign he associated with Aptos.
The reference to Class C shares concerns the balance between economic ownership and voting power. Shares without voting rights can give investors exposure to a company while offering less influence over corporate decisions than shares with voting rights. Buzz’s stated aim is to make retail investors more visible in the conversation around Meta.
A much larger challenge
The scale of Meta makes this campaign substantially different from the one around Aptos. Decrypt said Meta was valued at about $1.59 trillion and was roughly 2,619 times larger than Aptos by market capitalization when the campaign began. The report also said Meta was down 1.2% that day.
For context, the article compared Buzz’s challenge with the earlier GameStop episode associated with Roaring Kitty, the online identity of a meme-stock influencer. Through posts on Reddit’s r/WallStreetBets and livestreams, Roaring Kitty helped mobilize individual investors around GameStop while hedge funds held short positions in the stock. GameStop reached an all-time high, hedge funds recorded substantial losses and the episode later became the subject of the 2023 film “Dumb Money.”
But the comparison also highlights the difference in scale. GameStop’s market capitalization was reported at $11.85 billion, making Meta’s market value about 134 times larger than GameStop’s at the figures cited in the report. A social-media campaign can attract attention, but moving a company of Meta’s size is a far more difficult task than influencing discussion around a smaller token or stock.
Moneyiar market picture
Moneyiar data as of October 25, 2026, shows Aptos trading at $0.7037841724. APT was down 0.81% over 24 hours and 7.92% over seven days. The timestamp for the data is 22:39, at +03:30.
The same Moneyiar snapshot showed Compound at $21.1287447338, down 10.42% over 24 hours but up 0.3% over seven days; Meteora at $0.2987682192, down 3.49% over 24 hours and 9.69% over seven days; and Four at $0.2210079715, up 0.66% over 24 hours but down 7.29% over seven days. These figures are market data, not a measure of Buzz’s campaign or a forecast for any asset.
Buzz has also connected his Meta thesis to the company’s artificial-intelligence agent Muse and to the possibility of renewed involvement in crypto. He said Muse could benefit from stablecoin “float economics” associated with the original GlobalCoin vision, later linked to Libra and Diem. He added that he would be honored to lead such an effort if Meta selected him for a role.
For now, however, the campaign remains at an early stage. Buzz has left Aptos, sold his stated APT holdings and redirected his online megaphone toward Meta, a company whose market value dwarfs the crypto project that first made him prominent.
