BTCS Now Producing Revenue from all 100 Ethereum 2.0 Nodes OTC Markets:BTCS

Silver Spring, MD, March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BTCS Inc. (OTCQB: BTCS) (“BTCS” or the “Company”), a digital asset and blockchain technology focused company, today announced its recently expanded transaction verification services operation on ethereum 2.0 is fully operational and generating revenue from all 100 nodes.

“We set a goal of actively generating revenue from all 100 nodes by the end of the first quarter, and we are pleased to report we have achieved this milestone,” stated Charles Allen, Chief Executive Officer of BTCS. “So far, we have deployed 3,200 ETH in our staking operation. With the recent infusion of $9.5 million in gross proceeds from our March 2021 registered direct offering, we are in a great position to continue to grow our validator node network and thereby further accelerate our near-term revenue growth.”

In September 2014, BTCS was the first U.S. public company to mine bitcoin and is now the first U.S. public company to run validator nodes on ethereum 2.0. The Company believes this strategy can drive strong near-term revenue growth while generating financial returns superior to traditional bitcoin mining and opening the door to additional future revenue generating services such as staking as a service.

On December 1, 2020, ethereum began transitioning to a “proof-of-stake” protocol, ethereum 2.0. Under the “proof-of-stake” consensus algorithm, ETH holders have the exclusive right to operate validator nodes on the network and verify transactions, thereby earning transaction fees for their work.
