@KabutoKing_ has gone viral for attempting to collect every 1st edition Kabuto Pokémon card, reportedly owning over 1,700. On Nov 26, @tylerdurden quoted Kabuto King’s mission to collect every Kabuto Pokémon card, writing, “This guy’s collecting every Kabuto Pokémon card on earth lol. I love humans, they are nuts.”
Two days later, @AutismCapital posted that Kabuto King had collected over 1,700 cards and pushed the price of the 1st edition above $10.
A few hours before that tweet, a coin called KABUTO launched on Pump fun. The coin's community decided to direct creator fees to Kabuto King to help him expand his collection. He joined the X community, expressed his gratitude and said that the creator fees are what makes it possible for him to keep growing his collection.
@notthreadguy invited Kabuto King to appear on his livestream.
As the meme and coin gained traction, @flachinho joked that it’s easier to get KABUTO tokens than the cards themselves.
On January 4, Kabuto King announced the launch of a new Phantom wallet called "KabutoKingCharity," where a portion of KABUTO creator fees will be accumulated throughout 2026 and donated to St. Jude at year’s end. He initially seeded the wallet with $500 worth of KABUTO and invited others to contribute SOL.
The following day, MrBeast replied to Kabuto King’s tweet offering to sign a 1st edition Kabuto card if the donation was raised to $10,000. He also followed the account. Kabuto King accepted the challenge. The interaction pushed KABUTO past a $3.5M market cap.
