History

[edit]

In 2013, Blockchain Capital became one of the first venture capital funds dedicated to bitcoin and crypto projects.[1][2]

The company invested in several notable category leaders, including Opensea, Kraken, Ethereum, and Coinbase.[3]

In October 2024, Blockchain Capital led a $15 million Series A investment round in Bluesky Social, PBC, a social media company, which operates a same-named decentralized microblogging social platform.[4]
