Lava Has Raised $30M to Build the Financial System for the Bitcoin Standard

We’ve now raised $30 million in total financing to build the financial infrastructure for the Bitcoin standard. This milestone includes new participation from both institutional and individual backers who believe in a transparent and secure alternative to the legacy financial system.

Joining our cap table in this round are:

• Peter Jurdjevic, representing Qatar Investment Authority

• Bijan Tehrani, co-founder of Stake

• Charlie Spears, Bitcoin educator

• Jake Brown, early-stage investor in bitcoin companies

• Lee Linden and Ben Mahdavi, Quiet Capital

• Zach White, 8VC

• Saurabh Gupta, DST Global

• Terry Angelos, Head of Global Fintech at Visa

• Aaron Suplizo, Square

• And several others who share our long-term vision

They join our existing investors from the Seed and Series A—Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, Caffeinated Capital, and UTXO Capital—alongside angels like Keith Rabois, Joey Krug, Vinod Khosla, Peter Thiel, and operators from Square, Visa, Anchorage, Uber, and more. What unites them is simple: conviction in what we’re building. Let’s keep going.
