Zerohash walked away from Mastercard takeover. Firm is now in talks to raise $250 million at $1.5 billion valuation

Blockchain infrastructure firm Zerohash is reportedly in discussions to raise $250 million at a $1.5 billion valuation, following its decision to walk away from acquisition talks with Mastercard. While the takeover talks ended, Mastercard is still considering a strategic investment in Zerohash. This potential funding round comes amid growing demand for enterprise-grade crypto infrastructure as financial institutions increasingly adopt tokenized assets and onchain settlement. Zerohash, founded in 2017, provides APIs and developer tools for crypto and stablecoin products, serving major clients like Interactive Brokers, Stripe, and BlackRock’s BUIDL fund. The company was last valued at $1 billion after raising $104 million in an October Series D-2 round.
