The data includes a variety of information, such as the tweet and the price of the tickers in that tweet at the time of posting.
This dataset can be used for a variety of tasks, such as sentiment analysis and masked language modelling (MLM).

We used this dataset for training our [FinTwitBERT model](https://huggingface.co/StephanAkkerman/FinTwitBERT).

This datasets includes all the following three datasets:
- Crypto: https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/financial-tweets-crypto
- Stocks (and forex): https://huggingface.co/datasets/StephanAkkerman/financial-tweets-stocks
