1 November, London — Sharpe Capital co-founders Lewis Barber and James A. Butler executed a deal with AmaZix to acquire a minority stake in the business, placing its cash value at over $30MM. AmaZix is a turnkey crypto-consultancy firm with a large and rapidly growing client base, working with some of the biggest, most talked about blockchain companies of the year, including: Bancor, Stox, Bankex, SALT, and Sharpe Capital.

The deal was closed after a week of negotiations, as part of a larger partnership agreement aiming to nurture the development of tokenised ecosystems and blockchain-driven technology, with several significant announcements expected over the coming days and weeks.

“We have been delighted by the professionalism and range of services offered by AmaZix, and over the past four months, have seen them grow at an unprecedented rate.

Sharpe and AmaZix have the same drive to help shape the future of blockchain-driven business and technology, aiming to drive mass adoption and understanding of the sector and its ethos.

Together we have developed a vision for achieving this, and us acquiring a stake in AmaZix is just the first step. We are very excited for what’s next,” commented James A. Butler of Sharpe Capital.

Regarding the agreement, Jonas Sevel Karlberg, CEO of AmaZix, said ”The Sharpe Capital acquisition of equity in the AmaZix, proves that our strategy is the right one. When some of the the brightest minds in the industry begin recognising our work, it tells me we are on the right track.

We have been approached by several 3rd parties asking for a piece of the AmaZix pie, and have chosen to partner with James & Lewis first.

Sharpe Capital is building a crowdsourced asset sentiment platform, and the technology that they are building, can be somewhat directly applied to the AmaZix current IP in a way that will further consolidate our position as the world’s leading community management and engagement firm.

As such the acquisition of a minority share, makes perfect sense for both of us.”
