Crypto Currency and Blockchain Investments

We support institutional investment clients to navigate the crypto currency and crypto currency mining space by guiding them towards the most suitable value propositions. We do this using our extensive practical experience from the initial crypto strategy assessment and crypto due diligence to the final crypto currency mining solution.

Project Example

Crypto Currency Mining Data Center Development

Across the world, we have built crypto currency mining data centers of over 100 MW and employed more than 120 employees, covering all functions from data center design, maintenance, controlling, and finance.

Our conclusion? Mining data centers aren’t plug and play – choosing the right setup, hardware, and people is key for successful mining.

Crypto Currency Strategy

We evaluate your opportunities in the crypto space, assess your project and jointly create an actionable roadmap. We accompany our clients in every step of their investment and regardless of your previous crypto investing experience. Together, we find the strategic option that suits you best, from cryptocurrency trading, mining, or investing in other parts of the cryptocurrency value chain such as exchanges, mining pools, or wallet providers.

Project Example

Restructuring of a Crypto Currency Company

While the cryptocurrency industry has not been around for very long, it has evolved substantially since its inception. To stay ahead of competitors, companies need to remain knowledgeable in every area of their business, from finances to new coins and technologies. We have assisted a crypto currency company with its organizational transition to address these issues.

Our conclusion: We have learned that a successful crypto currency company needs both, a strong organization, a clear vision and goals.

Crypto Investment Target Due Diligence

If you have already identified a potential investment opportunity, we support you end-to-end with the commercial (CDD) and technical due diligence (TDD) for your crypto projects. Our due diligence services include competitive landscape analyses, validating the feasibility of your business models, valuation analysis, and risk assessments.

Project Example

Commercial and technical due diligences for investments in industrial size crypto data center

We have successfully helped institutional investors closing their first crypto mining deals as lead commercial and technical advisors. For our clients, we assessed market data as well as their targets’ historical performance and growth plans. We checked the business case and valuation for plausibility. Last but not least, we analyzed all mining components, from the power supply, via data center design, to mining setup and liquidation strategy and security.

Our conclusion? While the mining industry is still young and targets typically struggle with due diligence requirements, by bringing in professionalism, we can guide investors to successful projects.

Crypto Mining Projects

Crypto currency mining projects are complex. We handle the end-to-end set up of your crypto currency mining solution, from selecting the right location and partners, to assembling a team, choosing a data center and optimizing your project financing.

Project Example

Crypto Currency Mining Data Center Development

Across the world, we have built crypto currency mining data centers of over 100 MW and employed more than 120 employees, covering all functions from data center design, maintenance, controlling, and finance.

Our conclusion? Mining data centers aren’t plug and play – choosing the right setup, hardware, and people is key for successful mining.

Project Management

As an integrated part of your team, our experienced project managers steer your projects from the very first alignment to the completion and beyond.
