VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA (April 11, 2018) – Mr. George Tsafalas, President & Chief Executive Officer of 360 Blockchain Inc. ("360" or the "Company") (CSE: CODE – FWB: C5B – OTC: BKLLF), a blockchain technology investment company, has issued an important letter to shareholders.
Dear 360 Blockchain Inc. Shareholders:
I would like to take the opportunity to provide an update on the Company’s growth initiatives as we continue to focus on increasing shareholder value.
Since the start of the year, we have initiated and/or closed major investments in several transformative blockchain-based companies, including SV CryptoLab, Arcology and Pressland. We also continue to execute modest initial investments in teams working on solutions for the industry’s most pressing problems, such as ePIC’s plan to produce a computing chip designed specifically to mine cryptocurrencies.
With the appointment of Jeff Koyen as the President and CEO of 360 Blockchain USA, our U.S.-based subsidiary, the Company has enjoyed great media and brand exposure — not just in the financial press and blockchain trades, but in wider media circles. This spring, Mr. Koyen will attend several prominent tech conferences as a panel moderator and/or member.
At 360 Blockchain Inc., we continue to see great growth opportunities in the blockchain space. Just as the Internet grew from a curiosity in the 90s to the world’s most transformative technology in the early 00s, so, too, will blockchain impact all aspects of our daily lives. As an early-mover, the Company is positioned to benefit from this mass adoption.
360’s Recent Highlights
- On January 1st, 2018, Jeff Koyen was appointed as President and CEO of 360 Blockchain USA, a subsidiary of 360 Blockchain Inc. founded to facilitate investments in U.S.-based companies
- On January 4th, the Company announced a $100,000 investment in ePIC Blockchain Technologies Inc. (ePIC), a Toronto-based manufacturer of highly energy-efficient cryptocurrency mining tools and infrastructure. 360’s investment will be used to accelerate development of ePIC’s first-generation bitcoin-mining chip.

- On April 5th, Company announced the closing of the acquisition of Pressland, a Brooklyn-based media startup that will relaunch as blockchain-powered enterprise platform to fight fake news. 360 Blockchain USA’s President and CEO, Jeff Koyen, will oversee development.
- On April 9th, Company prospect Arcology announced the hiring of its senior engineering team and formally began production on a new enterprise-focused blockchain platform designed to improve upon — and compete with — market-leader Ethereum.
360 Blockchain Inc. continues to actively pursue early-stage blockchain technology investment opportunities, particularly in the areas of enterprise-grade smart contracts, global data management, media distribution and ownership, and supply chain auditing.
Finally, while the Company does not invest directly in cryptocurrencies, at least two of our portfolio companies are exploring plans to issue their own transactional currencies in the form of blockchain-based cryptographic tokens. Working within appropriate regulatory frameworks, the Company will announce more details about these offerings when they’re available.
Sincerely,
George Tsafalas, President & CEO
