Company Overview
BTCS secures the blockchain through its rapidly growing transaction verification services business and plans to build a broader ecosystem to capitalize on opportunities in this fast growing industry. The blockchain is a decentralized public ledger and has the ability to fundamentally impact all industries on a global basis that rely on or utilize record keeping and require trust. BTCS continues to evaluate and build additional blockchain technology consumer solutions. BTCS also actively partners and integrates with strategic digital currency and blockchain technology companies who provide products or services that are complementary to its business strategy.
Value Proposition
Given BTCS’s strong long-term potential, transaction verification services revenue, focus on blockchain technology, and universal ecosystem business model, we are valuing BTCS at a target price of $0.62, representing current upside of 343%. Venture capital investments in bitcoin totaled approximately $490 million in 2015, which is greater than the value of early venture capital investment in the Internet ($250 million in 1995). The transaction verification services business has the potential to be very scalable, and we are projecting total revenue of $20.4 million in 2016. Long-term, transaction verification services companies can gain revenue through transaction verification fees from consumer usage. Additionally, transaction verification services help to secure the blockchain. This gives long-term profit potential as applications and transactions take place on the blockchain. Early investments in digital currency companies could lead to significant returns if digital currency adoption and blockchain technology development continues to accelerate.

- Revenue currently generated through transaction verification services business, or digital currency mining; merging with Spondoolies-Tech ($28M in 2014 rev)
