Background

Bitcoin.com was founded in 2014 when early Bitcoin investor Roger Ver — nicknamed 'Bitcoin Jesus' for his evangelical promotion of the currency — acquired the bitcoin.com domain. The company built a news portal alongside its wallet and exchange products. In 2017, Ver became a leading advocate for Bitcoin Cash (BCH), a hard fork of Bitcoin that uses larger block sizes, and Bitcoin.com News reflected that orientation in its editorial coverage, often presenting BCH as the truer heir to Satoshi Nakamoto's vision. In 2018, the company faced a class-action lawsuit alleging its wallet misled users into buying BCH when they intended to purchase Bitcoin (BTC). Roger Ver stepped back from day-to-day operations and in February 2024, Corbin Fraser — a longtime company employee — became CEO. In April 2024, Ver was arrested in Spain and indicted by U.S. authorities for alleged income tax evasion; by late 2025 he had reached a tentative deal with the Justice Department. Bitcoin.com News remains an industry-oriented outlet covering crypto markets, regulation, and technology with a generally bullish perspective on cryptocurrency adoption, and it operates from the company's base in Saint Kitts and Nevis.
