Pantera Capital is the first investment firm focused exclusively on bitcoin, other digital currencies, and companies in the blockchain tech ecosystem. In 2013 Pantera launched the first crypto-currency fund in the United States — when bitcoin was at $65 /BTC. The firm subsequently launched the first exclusively-blockchain venture fund and is now raising its third venture fund. Pantera was also the first firm to offer a pre-auction ICO fund. Pantera Bitcoin Fund has returned over 12,000% in five years and has returned billions to its investors. Pantera currently manages $550mm in capital in seven funds across three product groups – passive, hedge, and venture.
