Aptos Advisor Buzz Leaves Project for Meta Stock Campaign

Former Aptos advisor Buzz has left the crypto project following the conclusion of his one-year contract, describing the split as mutual and confirming he has sold his holdings of $APT tokens.

Buzz, a pseudonymous social media memer known as BuzzlamicJihad, rose to prominence in early 2025 through an unofficial community takeover of Aptos that helped boost the token's value. He officially joined Aptos as an advisor in October 2025 to address the project's image. According to statements given to Decrypt, Buzz chose not to extend his contract after failing to see the project progress as intended.

Shifting Focus to Meta Stock

Buzz has now directed his guerrilla marketing campaign toward Facebook's parent company Meta, citing the company's strong fundamentals and arguing that retail investors have been forgotten, particularly following the creation of Class C shares with no voting ability. Meta trades at a $1.59 trillion market capitalization, making it roughly 2,619 times larger than Aptos, which sits at a $607 million market capitalization following a 10.7% drop for $APT since the start of the month.

Parallels and Strategy

The memer's previous thesis on Aptos stemmed from its ties to Facebook, given the project was formed by developers from the defunct stablecoin project Libra. While his new approach relies less entirely on memetics, Buzz noted that Meta's AI agent Muse could potentially benefit from stablecoin float economics reminiscent of the original GlobalCoin vision. Meta did not respond to requests for comment, and Aptos also declined to comment.
