COMPANY OVERVIEW
BTCS Inc., a Nasdaq-listed U.S.-based blockchain technology company, focuses on advancing blockchain infrastructure. With a primary emphasis on the Ethereum network, BTCS drives scalable growth through block-building and validator node operations, leveraging advanced technology and robust operational expertise.
Blockchain Infrastructure
BTCS’s blockchain infrastructure center on supporting the validation of transactions and securing proof-of-stake (“PoS”) and delegated proof-of-stake (“dPoS”) blockchain networks. The Company manages a network of cloud-based validator nodes that perform essential network functions, including transaction validation (“attestation”) activities and proposing new blocks. Through these activities, BTCS earns native token rewards by staking its own crypto assets on validator nodes operated by BTCS and third parties.
Our evaluation of blockchain networks involves comprehensive due diligence procedures, including assessments of blockchain quality, reward potential, and the technical challenges associated with running validator nodes. Criteria for assessing blockchain quality encompass factors such as i) market and on-chain statistics, ii) liquidity, iii) potential blockchain utility, iv) history and milestones, v) growth and development roadmap, vi) use cases, vii) community interest, viii) quality of documentation, ix) decentralization, and x) any other publicly available information. This process ensures BTCS focuses on high-potential blockchain networks while mitigating technical and operational risks.
Ethereum Block Building – Builder+
A central focus of BTCS’s current operations is its Ethereum block-building initiatives under Builder+, which commenced operations in 2024. Through Builder+ we purchase block space and leverage advanced algorithmic processes to construct blocks for on-chain validation. The goal of Builder+ is to maximize gas fee revenue by optimizing the contents and structure of each block. The Company aims to maximize the value of gas fees earned by increasing the number of blocks we purchase while minimizing the payments to validators required for purchasing block space.
Builder+ has rapidly become a key driver of BTCS’s revenue growth, leveraging its scalable and efficient technology to expand its operational footprint within the Ethereum ecosystem. While Builder+ currently operates exclusively on Ethereum, its flexible design enables potential adaptation to other blockchain networks, aligning with BTCS’s vision to diversify its infrastructure operations over time.
Staking-as-a-Service – NodeOps
BTCS operates a non-custodial Staking-as-a-Service (“StaaS”) business model that enables crypto asset holders to participate in network consensus mechanisms by staking and delegating to BTCS-operated validator nodes. As a non-custodial validator operator, the Company receives a percentage of a crypto asset holders’ staking rewards generated as a validator node fee, for our ministerial role in hosting the validator node. This creates an opportunity for scalable revenue and business growth with limited additional costs. The Company’s StaaS strategy provides a more accessible and cost-effective alternative for crypto asset holders to participate in blockchain networks’ consensus mechanisms, promoting the growth and adoption of blockchain technology.
A StaaS provider maintains a ministerial role in validating transactions on a given dPoS network on behalf of its Delegators by (1) using open-source software to stake the relevant crypto assets; (2) monitoring and maintaining the nodes it is operating to ensure the computers remain online to validate transactions; and (3) verifying transactions on the network when required.
As a non-custodial StaaS provider, we do not hold or take possession of any Delegator funds, crypto assets, or crypto asset rewards at any point during the staking or delegation process. Delegation does not involve the transfer of crypto asset ownership to a Validator. During the process of staking, delegated crypto assets remain in the Delegator’s digital wallets. The blockchain network calculates rewards earned, which are then distributed directly to the Delegator’s wallet. The blockchain network does not distribute any of the Delegator’s earned crypto rewards to BTCS. At no point does the Validator gain access, control, or custody of the original staked crypto assets or the earned crypto rewards through staking to its node. Therefore, the Company does not have any exposure to the custodial risks that a crypto exchange would have related to excessive redemptions or withdrawals of crypto assets, suspension of redemptions, or withdrawals.
Supporting Platforms: ChainQ
To complement our core blockchain infrastructure, BTCS has developed “ChainQ,” an AI-powered blockchain data and analytics platform designed to increase accessibility and transparency within the blockchain ecosystem. Currently in beta, ChainQ simplifies on-chain data access and analysis for cryptocurrency holders, delivering deeper insights into blockchain activity. By indexing public data from our blockchain infrastructure operations, ChainQ provides an intuitive platform for exploring on-chain data.
As of December 27, 2024, BTCS has discontinued its StakeSeeker platform to focus on Builder+ and NodeOps, reflecting the Company’s strategic emphasis on scalable blockchain infrastructure.
