In a groundbreaking power move, Ayre Group has sealed a 500 million Euro deal to acquire a controlling interest in nChain, a global leader in blockchain and Web3 technology.

nChain holds a vast portfolio of nearly 800 technology patents, with over 3,000 more awaiting approval. These patents cover essential elements of enterprise blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), and Web3, impacting various industries, including the trillion-dollar cryptocurrency market and major corporate implementations.

The deal is believed to be the largest enterprise blockchain intellectual property (IP) investment to date. Ayre Group’s investment of up to $570 million includes an equity acquisition of nChain, an IP licensing deal for Ayre Ventures portfolio companies, and a line of credit.

nChain’s IP library encompasses a wide range of technologies, from Web3 precursors to non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and smart contracts, playing a pivotal role in the development of next-generation internet products and services.

nChain has a dedicated research and development team working to transform its extensive IP library into practical applications. The company’s contributions to innovative solutions earned it a spot in the LexisNexis Innovation Momentum 2023 report, recognizing the top 100 companies driving advancements in various fields and laying the groundwork for future breakthroughs.

Calvin Ayre, the founder of Ayre Group, said that he is committed to accelerating nChain’s development and promoting the commercial adoption of its IP library. While Ayre is known for supporting the BSV Blockchain, he asserts that nChain’s patents are blockchain-agnostic and that their foundational elements are indispensable for all blockchain and Web3 projects.

Stefan Matthews, nChain’s Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, expresses confidence in the business model and the value of the patent portfolio, software development, and consulting services.

nChain’s Group CEO, Christen Ager-Hanssen, envisions a groundbreaking transformation from Web2 to Web3, which will revolutionize industries and create a trillion-dollar ecosystem with Calvin Ayre’s visionary leadership.

Overall, the Ayre Group’s investment in nChain is set to have a profound impact on the blockchain and Web3 sectors, as it strengthens nChain’s position as a key player in driving the future of the internet and fosters innovation in various industries.
