Brock Pierce has founded and backed the companies that became part of the fabric of digital assets.
He co-founded Tether in 2014, the company behind USDT, the largest stablecoin in the world and the company Fortune ranked first on its Crypto 100 in 2026. In 2013 he co-founded Blockchain Capital, among the first venture firms dedicated to the sector, and worked on Mastercoin, the 2013 project widely regarded as the first token sale. He co-founded Block.one, the company behind the EOS network, whose token sale raised around four billion dollars, the largest in history, and he served as a director and then Chairman of the Bitcoin Foundation.

He is co-founder of DNA, the venture group that includes DNA Fund and DNA Financial, and has served since 2021 as an independent director of Bit Digital, the Nasdaq-listed digital asset company, where he sits on the Audit, Compensation and Nominating committees.

He chairs the Integro Foundation, a non-profit in Puerto Rico, where he has lived since 2017.
