The wiki's angle: Bitcoin DAO handed out ERC-20 tokens first and promised to swap them for coins on its own chain later.[1]

Record

The pre-announcement of 6 May 2018 lists a 25 million maximum: 21 million from the hard fork, 2 million for a treasury, 1 million for the airdrop and first masternodes, and 1 million for bounties[1]. It says the airdrop tokens were ERC-20 and that “After mainnet launch (Bitcoins block №531650) these tokens will be converted 1:1 to BTD”[1]. Bitcoin holders would also get “1 BTC = 1 BTD”[1]. A later edit says “we distributed only 2.11% of the total” in that round[1]. Block 531,650 was mined on 12 July 2018, while forkdrop's data file gives 2018-06-30[2][3]. The BTD ticker is shared with Bitcoin Dollar[3].
