Company behind bitcoin 'creator' sold to private investors: Reuters
A London and Vancouver, British Columbia company built around the research of Craig Wright, who has claimed to have invented the bitcoin cryptocurrency, has been sold to a private equity firm in a deal the company says is the biggest to date involving bitcoin's underlying blockchain technology, Reuters reported. According to a news release late last week, Malta-based High Tech Private Equity Fund SICAV plc bought nChain Holdings, "the world leader in blockchain-centric research and development." It put no value on the deal. Reuters previously identified nChain, formerly known as EITC Holdings Ltd, as Wright's vehicle for filing hundreds of bitcoin and blockchain-related patents.
