Artist Steven Minnaar creates art to promote the ideas of freedom, liberty, and sound money.
The Treasure
A unique element of Steven’s work is the Minnaar Treasure Hunt. In 2021, he created a computer script that randomly generated a bitcoin address from 24 words, crucially, without revealing the combination or the private key. As a result, no one – not even Steven himself – knows the combination.
He then invited Minnaar collectors to send bitcoin to the address to create a community-funded treasure hunt. The treasure now exceeds 1 full bitcoin.
Join the Hunt
Steven includes all 24 words with each Minnaar that he trades or lends out. This presents a captivating challenge – guess the right combination to reveal the private key and you can take the treasure!
Authentication
Each Minnaar comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Explore the Catalog
Those interested in exploring Steven’s art can view the catalog online, or visit The Minnaar Museum & Library located in Dana Point, CA, to experience selected pieces in person.
Exchangeability
Owners of a Minnaar can exchange it for any other piece within the collection, including new releases. This applies to fractional Minnaars too, where you can swap them for their equivalent fraction.
How to Acquire a Minnaar
Steven no longer sells his art, choosing instead to trade for his needs. Since his art is his exclusive store of value, Steven trades only when necessary. Contact Steven on Signal to check availability, or visit the Collector Forum to trade with other collectors.
