Equity stake in Chia Network
The company has been an investor in Chia Network Inc. since July 2018, through its US$300,000 simple agreement for future equity (SAFE). On May 10, 2021, Cypherpunk Holdings received 19,860 shares of Series B Stock of Chia.
Chia Network develops an energy-efficient decentralized blockchain. In May 2021, Chia Network announced the launch of its digital currency “Chia”.
Commenting on this latest update Antanas Guoga, CEO of Cypherpunk stated,
“We are happy with our decision to invest in Chia Network. The environmental impact caused by cryptocurrencies has been at the forefront of many discussions in the industry and we believe that this is an issue that needs addressing. Chia Network uses spare storage space on hard drives to verify blockchain transactions instead of using the energy-intensive “proof of work” model employed by other cryptocurrencies, which makes Chia an exciting “green” alternative to other digital currencies. We are pleased that Chia Network continues to advance and develop its business.”
IPv4 Leasing Arrangement
Following the purchase of 16,384 IPv4 addresses in March 2021, Cypherpunk has secured a leasing arrangement. The leasing arrangement is currently generating 14.8% yield per annum on the original investment.
