Blockchain.com has confidentially filed with the SEC and is discussing an IPO that could raise about $500 million. The target valuation is far below its $14 billion private-market peak, and market conditions for crypto listings remain mixed.
Blockchain.com is preparing a U.S. IPO that could raise about $500 million, with a reported valuation target between $4 billion and $6 billion.
The company confidentially filed draft registration documents with the SEC in May and may scale the offering size down if market demand requires.
The target valuation is materially lower than Blockchain.com’s roughly $14 billion private-market peak in 2022.
# What happened Blockchain.com is reportedly moving toward a U.S. initial public offering that would raise roughly $500 million. Bloomberg cited people familiar with the matter saying the company is seeking a valuation between $4 billion and $6 billion. The company previously reached about a $14 billion valuation in private markets at the 2022 peak.
# Timing and regulatory steps The company confidentially filed draft registration documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in May. That filing did not disclose how many shares would be offered or a price range. Sources say Blockchain.com is prepared to reduce the size of the offering if needed to complete a public listing.
# Why the valuation is lower Blockchain.com's reported IPO valuation is substantially below its 2022 private-market level. The lower target reflects both the company's recalibrated positioning and broader investor caution toward crypto-related listings since the last boom.
# Market backdrop Capital markets for crypto companies have started to reopen following a market recovery that began in mid-August. Bitcoin has climbed more than 30% since then, a rally that Bloomberg links in part to a U.S. Treasury move to increase buybacks of long-dated government debt. That macro move coincided with a broader upswing across crypto markets.
# Strategic moves tied to public markets Reportedly, Blockchain.com has signed an agreement with the New York Stock Exchange to explore continuous trading of tokenized U.S. stocks globally. That arrangement, if pursued in parallel with an IPO, would signal the company's interest in combining traditional public-market access with tokenization initiatives.

# Bottom line Blockchain.com is moving toward a U.S. IPO that could raise around $500 million at a $4 billion to $6 billion valuation. The company has taken initial regulatory steps, but the final offering size and timing may change depending on market conditions. Crypto markets have improved since mid-August, yet several recent crypto listings have traded well below their post-IPO highs, which may constrain investor enthusiasm for large public offerings in the sector.
