As the decentralized finance movement proves its staying power and resilience, one of the world’s largest decentralized autonomous organizations, Bitdao, has concluded a private fundraising round to promote mass adoption of open finance.
DAO to Allocate Capital Towards Improving Defi R&D, Funding, & LiquidityAs decentralized finance (defi) slowly regains its footing following the May decline in total value locked, there is no shortage of investment capital chasing after the idea’s tremendous potential.
Bitdao, a decentralized autonomous organization focused on defi, is launching following the successful conclusion of a $230 million private funding round. The private capital raise featured participation from more than 20 institutions and defi partners, including hedge fund manager Alan Howard, well-known entrepreneur Peter Thiel, Dragonfly Capital, Fenbushi, Founders Fund, Jump Capital, Pantera Capital, and Spartan Group, among others.
To resolve the Bitcoin network’s persistent throughput issues and Ethereum’s high transaction cost, Bitdao’s multichain design intends to unseat existing centralized pegged tokens that pose censorship and counterparty risks through a fast and affordable decentralized solution. The organization’s native BDAO governance and defi token is pegged to the value of bitcoin, with plans to introduce other pegs in the future for coins like ethereum.

The fresh capital will be allocated to multiple areas of operation, including research and development, funding, and liquidity operations. Attracting developer talent is one of the primary aims of this initiative, and capital will also be distributed as grants and token swaps to support blockchain technologies. In addition, contributions to the Bitdao treasury will be used to back partners, add liquidity, and help bootstrap new protocols in decentralized exchange (dex) platforms, lending, and synthetics.
Besides this funding, Bybit, one of Bitdao’s ardent supporters, has pledged 2.5 basis points from all futures contracts transaction volume on its platform in recurring support to the treasury. Based on the platform’s 2021’s transaction volumes, this figure could reach $1 billion annually, helping underpin Bitdao’s mission of improving adoption, collaboration, and innovation within decentralized finance as inclusively as possible.
