The funding is the first of BurstIQ’s $20 million private placement offering initiated at the 2018 World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, which was held Jan. 23-26.

Executives said this partnership positions BurstIQ as one of the only revenue-generating and profitable emerging growth companies in the blockchain industry.
Burst IQ expects to complete the offering by March 31.
