Market Chatter: Mastercard Considers Stake in Zerohash After Acquisition Talks End

MT Newswires Live

Jan 21

Mastercard (MA) is exploring a strategic investment in blockchain firm Zerohash after acquisition negotiations ended, CoinDesk reported Tuesday, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Zerohash decided to remain independent, concluding late-stage talks with the credit-card company on a reported bid of as much as $2 billion, CoinDesk said.

"We believe that remaining independent best positions Zerohash to continue innovating, building and delivering for our customers," a company spokesperson said in an email statement, according to CoinDesk.

Mastercard didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
