About the Company
Blockchain.com began in 2011 as a Bitcoin block explorer and grew into a wider crypto company offering a non-custodial wallet, a cryptocurrency brokerage, and institutional lending and market data. The wallet supports multiple blockchain networks and token standards, while the explorer remains free to use.
The company was founded by Peter Smith, Nicolas Cary and Ben Reeves, and is headquartered in London. Wikipedia reports that its wallet handled about 28 percent of bitcoin transactions between 2012 and 2020. Press coverage from May 2026 cites more than 95 million wallets and 43 million verified users, figures that come from the company itself, alongside a confidential submission for a proposed US IPO.
