Disney Chairman Bob Iger Buys $100 Million In JarJar Token

Jar Jar Binks may be one of the most reviled characters in Star Wars, but his eponymous cryptocurrency has just won a supreme vote of confidence from Walt Disney Chairman Bob Iger. 

According to a regulatory filing, Iger purchased $100 million in JarJar Token, a lucrative new cryptocurrency that began as a joke but is now seen as a new hope for an otherwise ailing crypto market.

“There are really only a handful of cryptos that remain viable investments, and JarJar Token is a bit less cringey than something like Diarrhea Coin. We also knew Iger would likely not ride the 💦🚀 to the moon as it’s simply offbrand for someone of his stature. So him going all in on JarJar Token is a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one,” said crypto analyst Jordan ‘Wink Wink’ Winklevoss.


Iger’s purchase is adding more grist to the rumor mill, which has been working overtime since last week, when the Disney Chairman unloaded $98.7 million shares of Disney. Is his JarJar Token purchase simply a way to diversify investments or is it symbolic of rough waters ahead for the Disney? Regardless of what Iger’s true motives are, Gungans throughout the galaxy are applauding his latest move. 

“Deesa will help my people gain the visibility weesa so desperately need, especially in the bombad world of investing. Muy muy proud of brother Iger,” said musikagung Augura ‘Augie’ Jowil. 

The young Gungan was so taken by Iger’s actions, she has begun work on ‘Symponik JarJarTokenalla,’ an interactive performance commemorating JarJar Token, which will see release as a limited-edition NFT later this year.
