BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) has announced the implementation of its Scaled Validator Implementation Plan, focusing on Ethereum infrastructure expansion. Following a five-month due diligence process, BTCS has integrated with Rocket Pool, a decentralized Ethereum-based liquid staking protocol, expanding to 320 validators in their staking pool.

The company projects up to 10% increase in vertically integrated validator revenue through this initiative. The evaluation process included comprehensive assessments of auditability, compliance, cybersecurity, infrastructure integrity, and business risks. BTCS aims to diversify its validator partnerships and technology providers to support sustainable revenue growth while maintaining security and compliance standards.

BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) has announced the appointment of Eldari Gogiashvili as Data Scientist to strengthen its blockchain infrastructure operations. Gogiashvili will focus on developing data-driven strategies to boost revenue and enhance profit margins within BTCS's Builder+ operations, particularly in optimizing Ethereum MEV opportunities.

The new hire will report to Ben Hunter, who joined BTCS in 2024 from bloXroute, a blockchain distribution network provider. CEO Charles Allen emphasized that these strategic appointments represent a significant step in strengthening the company's core team, positioning BTCS to scale its innovative services and drive sustainable growth in the evolving market.

BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) has launched its new Staker Protection Plan (SPP), aimed at enhancing financial stability and operational security for Ethereum blockchain validators. The plan features four key components:

1. Revenue Shield: Offers stable income through pre-sold block space and up to 90% of execution layer reward profits, potentially increasing earnings by up to 4%.

2. Compliance Framework: Ensures adherence to regulatory standards including OFAC compliance.

3. Integrated Full Block Pre-confirmations: Provides early transaction confirmation assurance through advanced MEV infrastructure.

4. Advanced Order Flow Integration: Enables direct block space monetization for dApps and wallets.

BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) released a shareholder letter highlighting its 2024 achievements and 2025 outlook. The company surpassed its 2024 revenue performance target of $3,712,500, marking a 177% increase from 2023. For 2025, BTCS has set new revenue targets: a threshold of $4 million, target of $8 million, and cutoff of $20 million.

The letter emphasizes BTCS's pioneering role in crypto, including being the first public company to mine Bitcoin in 2014 and offer a digital asset treasury in 2017. The company has now pivoted to focus on Ethereum infrastructure, specifically block-building and validation operations launched in early 2024. This new strategy offers growth potential without intensive capital expenditures, unlike traditional Bitcoin mining.

BTCS aims to become the leading Ethereum blockchain infrastructure company and is currently the only pure-play, publicly traded company with this focus.

BTCS Inc. (Nasdaq: BTCS) announced the discontinuation of its StakeSeeker platform to focus on scaling its Ethereum blockchain infrastructure operations, which is the company's primary revenue driver. The strategic decision aims to concentrate resources on enhancing validator nodes, strengthening Builder+ Ethereum block-building operations, and expanding leadership in the proof-of-stake ecosystem.

While StakeSeeker provided crypto asset holders with monitoring and analysis tools, the company identified blockchain infrastructure operations as the most promising area for creating sustainable shareholder value. Despite the platform's sunset, BTCS will continue supporting crypto asset holders who delegate their holdings to the company's validator nodes for earning staking rewards.

Year-to-date revenue exceeded $1.7 million, a 73% increase from 2023. However, gross margins decreased to 50% from 72% due to increased Builder+ operational expenses.

ChainQ leverages BTCS's blockchain infrastructure to provide unprecedented access to public blockchain data, offering advanced search functionalities including natural language queries and customizable searches.

Key features include generative AI, intuitive interface, SQL query support, and insightful visualizations.

BTCS has announced a strategic integration with Forta to enhance regulatory compliance in Ethereum block construction. In January 2024, BTCS launched Builder+, an advanced block builder designed to maximize validator revenue. By incorporating Forta’s AI-driven threat intelligence, Builder+ now offers enhanced screening of wallet addresses, including those linked to potential risks such as Tornado Cash, to ensure compliance and detect suspicious activities. This integration aims to create 'compliant blocks' and provide early warnings of smart contract exploits. BTCS anticipates that this compliance-focused approach will attract more institutional participants. CEO Charles Allen emphasized the importance of compliance for the publicly traded company, while Forta's Andy Beal highlighted BTCS's leadership in adopting this risk management strategy.
