BTCS Inc

BTCS Inc. (NASDAQ: BTCS) is an American blockchain infrastructure company headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland. Founded in 2013, the company focuses on Ethereum validator node operations and staking services, and is recognized as one of the first publicly traded companies in the United States dedicated to blockchain technology.

BTCS operates through three business lines: NodeOps, which runs cloud-based Ethereum validator nodes to earn staking rewards; Builder+, an Ethereum block-building operation that constructs and submits optimized transaction blocks to capture MEV and transaction fee revenue; and Imperium, which deploys ETH and stablecoins into decentralized finance protocols such as Aave to generate yield. The company listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market in 2014 and later relisted on Nasdaq in September 2021 following a strategic pivot toward Ethereum infrastructure.

BTCS was formerly known as Bitcoin Shop, Inc. before changing its name in 2015. The company has distributed cryptocurrency dividends to shareholders, including a Bitcoin dividend in 2022 and an Ethereum-based dividend in 2025.
