The online group, ConstitutionDAO, has failed in its bid to purchase the last privately-owned, 1st edition print copy of the United States Constitution at a public auction at Sotheby’s on Thursday.
The "Official Edition of the United States Constitution" was instead won by an unknown bidder for $41 million (or $43.2 million after auction fees), meaning the DAO failed in its historic attempt to put it “in the hands of The People.”
