What exactly does this mean? Brave raised $35m? I find that hard to believe but wow if that's true.

They sold off tokens which give access to advertising space in their browser, though the Etherium blockchain, and for a set amount of tokens per ETH. So they now own 35M worth of ETH, and a few entities have near-exclusive access to advertising inside Brave (but can also sell those tokens off).
