BlockFi ranked number one on the Inc. 5000 list with a revenue growth of around 250,000 percent in just three years.
This year, the cryptocurrency lender CeFi was hit with a significant fine led by the SEC. Despite this, the company managed to survive the harsh crypto winter and was ranked as the top revenue gainer by Inc. magazine.
BlockFi has been recognized by Inc. magazine as the company with the most rapid revenue growth in the United States in 2022.
It achieved growth of 245,616% over the previous year, putting it at the top of the Inc. 5000 2022 list. This gave it a lead of more than 99,000% over the firm in second place, which was a platform for employing nurses.
The growth rate at the middle point, or median, for all 5,000 entries was 230%.
According to the magazine, the Inc. list "ranks organizations by overall revenue growth over a three-year period." This growth is measured over the course of the previous three years.
In the world of cryptocurrencies, where everything happens so quickly, three years is virtually an epoch, and BlockFi's success is especially noteworthy considering a number of dramatic turns both for the firm and the industry this year.
According to a supplementary piece published in Inc., the CeFi crypto financial services startup BlockFi began the year as a unicorn and was in discussions with JPMorgan about going public.
Since it put the company on track to develop the first SEC-regulated cryptocurrency product from their BlockFi Interest Account, the $100 million fine that the company paid to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and U.S. states in February for alleged unregistered securities sales was hailed as at least partially good news. The fine was imposed for alleged unregistered securities sales.
Although BlockFi cofounder Flori Marquez stated to Inc. that the layoff was planned and the timing was coincidental, the company proceeded to lay off 20% of its 850 staff members shortly after Celsius froze withdrawals.
At the time, both she and the company's cofounder, Zac Prince, described the decision as "gut wrenching."
In July, BlockFi made public an agreement with FTX US for the provision of a loan in the amount of $250 million. This agreement was promptly upgraded to a revolving credit facility in the amount of $400 million, and it included an option for FTX US to acquire BlockFi "at a variable price of up to $240 million."
A business must submit an application and pay the associated price in order to be considered for inclusion on the Inc. 5000 list. The amount of the charge varied from $195 to $245 this year, depending on when the application was turned in.
