Over $6 million and nearly 23.8 million tokens have been bought back and burned. The project claims that previous campaigns led to over 300% price growth. The buybacks create buying pressure while burns decrease supply, potentially supporting prices in low-float markets. Traders should consider the impact on demand after the buyback phase ends."

# AI Companions (AIC) - Buyback & Burn Campaign - 16 March 2026

AI Companions has begun a new March-long buyback and burn campaign, where the team purchases AIC on the open market and permanently destroys the tokens. The project states that over $6,000,000 of AIC and nearly 23.8 million tokens have already been bought back and burned, and claims that past campaigns have coincided with over 300% price growth (X post). Mechanistically, ongoing buybacks add direct buying pressure while burns reduce circulating supply, which can support price during the campaign, particularly in low-float markets. Traders should also weigh what happens to demand once the extra bid from buybacks is removed.
