Early stage blockchain accelerator Coinsilium have raised £118,000 through the issuance of new shares, in order to fund a £60,000 investment into a blockchain-based management system for digital assets.

The company issued 5,900,000 ordinary shares of no par value at a price of 2 pence per share from current and new shareholders, raising the total of £118,000. The rest of the balance will be allocated towards the development of the Company’s Smart Contract Alliance initiative and general reinvestment into the business.

Eddy Travia, Chief Executive Officer of Coinsilium, said of the share issue:

“We are very pleased to see new and existing shareholders and all the Company’s directors supporting this fundraise which will enable us to invest in some exciting opportunities in this fast growing sector in addition to pursuing our own initiatives in blockchain and smart contract technologies.
