In November 2023, the Bullish group, owner of Bullish, a regulated digital assets exchange, acquired CoinDesk. The Bullish group is majority-owned by Block.one, and both companies have interests in various blockchain and digital asset businesses, holding significant amounts of digital assets such as bitcoin. Despite the acquisition, CoinDesk continues to operate as an independent subsidiary with an editorial committee in place to safeguard journalistic independence.
As part of their compensation, CoinDesk employees, including journalists, may receive options in the Bullish group. This arrangement aims to align the interests of the team members with the overall success and growth of the organization. The award-winning media outlet covering the cryptocurrency industry has recently updated its privacy policy, terms of use, cookies, and do not sell my personal information to reflect this new ownership structure.
