Why are Business Giants Investing in Blockchain?
Blockchain technology has become the core of decentralized finance by
automating the regulation through code. This was the first time that people could
transact their assets with zero intervention and control of the governments. A
technology that has the potential to transform the entire value transfer
mechanism could be foundational to future tech. The top guns of tech businesses
have been monitoring the latest blockchain developments and trends closely to
cope with the trendy technologies.
However, the present bearish market has given them adequate space, time, and
potential returns to enter the blockchain world. A sudden rise of investments in
the blockchain world is a result of ideal market entry conditions backed by the
quality of innovation happening in the blockchain space.
Top Global Companies Investing in Blockchain
The time has come when global business leaders are not shying away from
investing heavily in blockchain businesses. Here is a detailed list of companies
that are investing millions of dollars in the blockchain without breaking the news.
Alphabet Inc. (Google)
From being one of the largest to one of the most profitable business
organizations in the world, Alphabet Inc. needs no introduction. Alphabet is the
parent company of Google and its other subdivisions. Being at the core of the

3. internet, Google is leading the entire tech world excluding the blockchain.
However, with its recent rounds of investments, Alphabet is trying to fill this gap.
Investing over 1500+ million USD in Fire Blocks, Dapper Labs, Voltage, and
Digital Currency Group, Alphabet has become a dominant investor in the
blockchain world. Covering the spheres of blockchain gaming, crypto custody,
and lighting, Alphabet’s investments are diversified over multiple sectors. This
indicates the potential that Google is seeing in the future of blockchain
technology.
Morgan Stanley
Starting in 1935, Morgan Stanley is a leading force in multinational investment
management and financial services. Known for its bold investment strategies,
Morgan Stanley has gained immense trust in the finance world during the last
80+ years. Morgan Stanley can directly benefit from their $1100+ million
investment by implementing blockchain to its core.
Morgan Stanley has invested heavily in Figment, a leading blockchain
infrastructure provider along with NYDIG, a start-up that is working towards
making Bitcoin accessible for all. Both of these projects resonate with the idea of
Morgan Stanley’s business model and could become a bridge for the
organization to tackle the generational shift.

4. Samsung
Samsung is the largest South Korean chaebol with the 8th largest brand value in
the world. With multiple businesses under its umbrella, Samsung is a leading
tech market force. With its present market grip, Samsung has the potential to
change the entire discourse of blockchain adoption. By releasing its own
‘Samsung Blockchain’ and investing in over 13 rounds of blockchain start-up
funding, Samsung has made its take clear on the future of blockchain.
Samsung has invested over $900 million in 13+ blockchain startups including
Yugalabs, Atomic Form, Metrika, and BigWhale Labs. Samsung is also working
towards developing its own crypto environment with its recent attempts in
launching its own crypto wallet, a crypto exchange, and other related products.
BlackRock
With $10 trillion worth of assets under management, the name BlackRock needs
no introduction. BlackRock is the world's largest multinational investment
management organization and has recently been in the news for being bullish on
the future of blockchain. By investing just over $1,150 million in blockchain
businesses, BlackRock is indicating its interest in ongoing blockchain adoption.
Just like Morgan Stanley, BlackRock is making its moves to advance toward
blockchain integration at its core. BlackRock’s significant investments revolve
around Circle, FTX Exchange, and Anchorage Digital. The Shift of these
traditional finance heavyweights towards blockchain technology signifies the role
that blockchain has to play in our relative future.

5. PayPal
Being a major proponent of digital currencies for a long time, PayPal is now
going full-fledged in crypto integration for its platform. By raising $650 million in
four rounds of crypto start-up funding, PayPal is taking its blockchain stakes to
another level. PayPal leads the Fintech world in crypto adoption and its bullish
take on the blockchain has made it possible for its users to buy, hold, and share
their crypto assets.
Talos, Layer Zero, TRM, and Anchorage Digital hold the majority part of PayPal’s
blockchain portfolio. Apart from this, PayPal’s team has also made it clear with
their public statements that the volatility in the crypto is going to go down as the
market matures.
Microsoft
Microsoft was one of the first mainstream platforms that had accepted cryptos as
a mode of payment for their leading platforms. With multiple blockchain projects
under its hood, Microsoft has already deployed a major project on Bitcoin
Network as a second-layer solution.
Embracing the new-age tech, Microsoft is all set to compete with Meta and
create its own Metaverse. A couple of rounds of blockchain investments made
Microsoft a stockholder of Palm and Consensys, both being foundationally strong
to deliver their value proposition.

6. Tencent
Tencent Holdings Ltd. is a Chinese tech and entertainment conglomerate popular
for its video game development studios. Tencent Games has become the world’s
largest video gaming vendor after the groundbreaking success of PUBG:
Battlegrounds. However, only a few of us know that Tencent Holdings also has a
strong arm in venture capital.
Tencent’s recent rounds of investments have made it invest over $220 million in
four blockchain projects Oxalis, Ethernity, Showcon, and Immutable. Oxalis and
Immutable are blockchain gaming studios, resonating with the interests of
Tencent.
What Lies in the Future
Investments in blockchain start-ups are significant for the development of a core
functioning unit within the organization. In unfavorable market situations when
money is exiting the crypto ecosystem, the above-mentioned investments will
enable blockchain technology to regain its authority as a sustainable means of
investment.
These investments are not only significant for start-ups but can also assist the
investors to evolve their business functioning by introducing blockchain’s
efficiency. Crypto market volatility does not reflect the potential that blockchain
technology withholds, making it an undeniable aspect of our connected future
