Block.one closes strategic investment round led by Peter Thiel and Bitmain

Block.one, publisher of the EOSIO blockchain protocol, a high-performance blockchain platform for decentralized applications announced today that venture capitalist and entrepreneur Peter Thiel has invested in the company, along with other notable investors, Bitmain, Louis Bacon, and Alan Howard.

This round follows an earlier round led by Christian Angermayer, Lansdowne Investment Company Ltd, and Galaxy Digital’s Mike Novogratz. It also follows Block.one’s recent announcement that former CFO of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Rob Jesudason, has been appointed company Group President and former Jefferies Asia CEO, Mike Alexander, will lead Block.one’s EOS VC arm.

Thiel is considered to be one of the most innovative entrepreneurs and investors in the world. In 1998, he founded PayPal, leading it as CEO and later taking the company public in 2002. He was one of the first outside investors in Facebook and is currently on its board of directors. As an investor, he has been involved in some of the highest-profile and most successful technology companies such as Airbnb, LinkedIn, and Yelp.

Bitmain is a leading multinational semiconductor company and one of the world’s largest blockchain hardware manufacturers.

“As Block.one prepares to announce its future plans, we’re excited to welcome key strategic investors aligned with our values of creating a more secure and connected world.”

Block.one CEO Brendan Blumer

“The EOSIO protocol is a great example of blockchain innovation. Its performance and scalability can meet the needs of demanding consumer applications and will pave the way for mainstream blockchain adoption.”

Jihan Wu, Co-founder of Bitmain
