Mike Winklemann

The organisation operates under the name Beeple, which is the professional alias of digital artist Mike Winklemann. Based in the United States of America, the entity focuses on the creation and distribution of non‑fungible token (NFT) artwork. Its primary output consists of digital images and animations that are minted on blockchain platforms and offered to collectors. The artist’s work is typically released through online marketplaces and occasional high‑profile auction houses.

Beeple gained widespread attention after a series of NFT sales that highlighted the growing market for digital collectibles. Notably, a single piece titled “Everydays: The First 5000 Days” was sold at Christie’s in March 2021 for approximately sixty‑nine million US dollars, establishing a benchmark for NFT valuations. The artist’s online presence includes a verified Twitter account that was temporarily compromised in a phishing incident on 22 May 2022, leading to fraudulent posts and financial losses for some followers. This episode underscored the visibility and reach of the artist’s social media channels.

Distinguishing attributes of the organisation include its specialization in generative and thematic digital art series, most famously the ongoing “Everydays” project that has produced a new artwork each day for over thirteen years. This long‑running practice positions Beeple as a pioneer in the NFT space and a bridge between traditional art institutions and blockchain‑based markets. Ownership details are not publicly disclosed beyond the individual artist, indicating an independent, sole‑proprietorship structure with no evident parent or subsidiary relationships.
