Brave has today made two significant Basic Attention Token purchases totalling just over $182,000.

The impressive 453,926 BAT tokens will go towards advertising campaigns on the Brave Browser.

Today's purchases rank among the biggest buys of the year, and follow hot on the heels of two other significant BAT purchases earlier this month, totalling nearly $160,000.

The growing number of large purchases only reinforces the rising interest advertisers have in the Brave platform. With nearly 17-million monthly active users, companies in all corners of the globe are now running Brave advertising campaigns.

Brave advertising also offers significant value for money. As Forbes recently reported, ads on the Brave Browser average a nine-percent click-through rate, while some brands garner a click-through as high as 15 percent.
