Plebs should take note that this entity has hundreds of BTC in Lightning - it might help temper routing fee expectations :)
Though, their main revenue stream, selling channels, probably overshadows this by quite a bit

great find, as of last month LNBIG had 26 active channels with about 900 BTC of public capacity sprinkled across them.

important to remember the public capacity numbers are probably ~2x the actual number of bitcoin they put up in their channels assuming equal inbound/outbound capacity.
if we assume 450 BTC belongs to them, i believe they’re on pace to earn 1/160th of 1% from routing fees this year.
channel open fees are probably much higher than routing fees, but i bet their overall apy is still under 1%.

~ +-450 is still absolutely unimaginable mountain of wealth
