Bitcoin Veteran Raises $150 Million To Bring DAOs And NFTs To First Major Blockchain
Dr. Ali has just raised $150 million to build New York-based Trust Machines, a company he co-founded with Princeton computer science professor Dr. JP Singh, which seeks to unleash what they consider “the true potential of bitcoin” by developing decentralized finance applications, DAOs and NFTs on the rebranded Blockstack, now called Stacks, a smart contracts network linked to bitcoin.
Investors in the round include Breyer Capital, Union Square Ventures, Digital Currency Group, GoldenTree, Hivemind, and others participating. The valuation was not disclosed. At stake is the potential for bitcoin to thrive in Web3.
“We believe that bitcoin can be more than a store of value; it can also be the settlement layer and platform for Web 3,” said Jim Breyer, founder and CEO of Breyer Capital and early Facebook investor. “We're excited to support Trust Machines and their mission to help bitcoin reach its potential.”
