They are also on the inside evolving a digital asset data analytics stage. They even seek out to acquire monitoring interests in businesses in the blockchain market.

While many crypto funds wriggled to recuperate from the market downfall experienced in March, BTCS has realized its set growth by 130% in the 2nd Quarter of the year 2020. Impeccably programmed investments in Bitcoin (BTC) & Ethereum (ETH) have BTCS accomplish a cryptocurrency asset under management (AUM) status of $1.02M. Succeeding the encouraging development presentation realized in the 2nd Quarter of 2020, the digital asset investment firm is seemingly observing a universal broadening of its crypto funds. Nevertheless, BTCS articulates that its investment approach will solely emphasize cryptocurrencies not deemed securities by regulators.

Appropriate Crypto Procuring Propels BTCS Fund Appraisal

By the end of June 2020, the BTCS crypto fund mounted at a total worth of $1.02 million with considerable situations in BTC & ETH. Having designated not to add further investments to its collection, BTCS circumnavigated the enormous weakening in cryptocurrency prices realized in mid-March.Employing the World Health Organization (WHO) categorizing the coronavirus as a pandemic on March 11, dread binged mutually through the crypto &wide-ranging financial space. Subsequently, both markets were observing a chute of obligatory selloffs as traders pursued liquid cash in research for the predictable lockdowns. By holding off from totaling to its crypto investment pool all through the 1stquarter of 2020, BTCS shielded its cryptocurrency fund from the deterioration seen on Black Thursday. Bitcoin chopped down to $3,800 within hours as token selloffs prompted obligatory liquidations transversely more than a few results exchanges together with BitMEX. The whole crypto market capitalization even contracted by about 50%.

In U.S. Dollar (USD) terms, the BTCS crypto fundraised from less than $300k in the 1st Quarter of 2020 to about $1.02M by the end of the 2nd Quarter of 2020, approximately, the progress of around 285%.

Management's Cost-Cutting Initiatives

BTCS a digital asset & blockchain technology-focused company, broadcast its reinforced cash position in reply to & to take advantage of on economic disarticulations as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. BTCS has reinforced its cash location by levitation of $500,000 in an adaptable note financing &smearing for a $42,000 loan through the CARES Act Paycheck Protection Program, which is justifiable subject to certain limitations. The Company has also executed cost reduction procedures, together with depressing its annual independent director fee from $75,000 to $18,750 for 2020 & to $15,000 for 2021 &subsequently afterward.

"The coronavirus pandemic has sent shockwaves through the global economy,"mentioned Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS. "While digital assets tumbled with the initial sell-off in equities in March, we believe this is an anomaly that could create an opportunity for us to accumulate digital assets at attractive prices. With a strengthened cash position & lowered burn, we are in an ideal position to increase exposure to digital assets at depressed values."

A core part of BTCS' business plan is to create spots in key digital assets. The Company trusts Bitcoin, Ethereum, & few other digital assets are a prodigious stockpile of value & can be effective privet against monetary degradation in the rouse of multi-trillion-dollar economic bailouts. "In times of crisis, market participants often react emotionally, broadly disposing of assets. We believe this is what happened in recent weeks in the digital asset space," continued Allen. "Moving forward, buoyed by strong fundamentals, including their fixed & limited supply, we strongly believe Bitcoin & Ethereum will benefit from a flight to higher quality amongst digital assets. Conversely, we believe smaller cryptocurrency projects & their associated digital assets will likely be negatively impacted by the economic downturn, specifically if those projects need additional funding."

BTCS trusts (Having no active mining operations) it's in a sturdier place to take advantage of on the ongoing market displacement linked to some of its public company nobles. Finally, current"shelter in place" orders have deferred the growth of the Company's data analytics stage from its unique timeline. As advancements procure, the Company strategizes to deliver supplementary apprises.

Corporate Update
Black Iron's management have recently initiated discussions with institutional investors on a royalty that could contribute materially to the funding required for project construction and are receiving strong interest. Negotiation of a Heads of Agreement on the commercial terms to be included in a binding contract for a high potential ~US$60 million investment in exchange for being awarded the construction contract for the Shymanivske project have concluded positively with one company and are well advanced with a second. Further details on this will be disclosed in due course noting that a binding contract would only be entered into with only one of these two companies, should the parties reach an agreement, who will then lead the future planned construction of the project.

Black Iron's management congratulates Ukraine's government and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in reaching a ceasefire agreement between government forces and pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine that came into effect this past Monday, July 23. This is positive for Black Iron shareholders as it further broadens the base of investors who will be interested to invest in project construction and in the market. Although management of Black Iron felt the political risk to the Company due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine was very low as the front line hadn't moved in over 6 years, this ceasefire agreement should help alleviate any concern investors may have had.
