We at a16z started investing in bitcoin in 2013, several years before we had a dedicated crypto fund. We have always been big believers in Bitcoin, its unique history and its foundational role in crypto.
It’s hard to overstate the growth and impact Bitcoin has had since Satoshi published his paper in October 2008. It is now legal tender in two countries. It finds mentions in songs, TV shows and movies. Millions of people hold bitcoin as their first entry into the crypto ecosystem. A 2021 survey found 86% of Americans had heard of cryptocurrency and 16% had interacted with crypto – up from only 48% being aware in a similar survey in 2015.
We have been looking for an opportunity for quite a while to back the right team to build on top of Bitcoin and bring exciting new technological innovation to the network.
