Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey has sold a digital version of his first tweet for more than $US2.9 million ($A3.8 million) more than two weeks after he announced a digital auction for the post.

The tweet from March 2006, which says “just setting up my twttr,” was bought by Bridge Oracle chief executive Sina Estavi, according to Valuables by Cent, the digital platform where the digital auction for the tweet was held.

The 15-year-old post was sold as a non-fungible token, or NFT – a digital certificate of authenticity that confirms an item is real and one of a kind by recording the details on a blockchain digital ledger.

Mr Dorsey tweeted earlier in March that the proceeds would be converted to bitcoin and given to the non-profit GiveDirectly’s Africa Response.

The charity has been raising money to support African families who were financially impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

But here’s the fact: the tweet became a digital good. So, the buyer bought an autograph.
