VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Victory Square Technologies Inc. (“Victory Square” or the “Company”) (CSE:VST) (OTC:VSQTF) (FWB:6F6) is pleased to update investors on the strong performances by three of its portfolio companies.
Bluzelle Investment (511% INCREASE)
In December 2017, Victory Square purchased $250,000 Canadian worth of Bluzelle tokens (BLZ), with an additional 25% incentive bonus tokens received for being an early contributor. The Company’s average token price is $0.09 cents. As of April 22, 2018, BLZ trades for $0.55/token, representing a 511% increase over the average cost base.
Bluzelle is a decentralized database service where users are able to rent out their computer storage space and be compensated with a cryptocurrency token. Decentralized app developers then use these tokens to have their decentralized app’s data stored and managed. Decentralized database services have the potential to provide more scalable, secure and affordable storage solutions than current centralized alternatives.
VS Blockchain Assembly Inc. Financing ($12M GAIN)
The Company is excited to announce that VS Blockchain Assembly Inc. (“Blockchain Assembly”) recently completed a financing at $0.75 a share, valuing the company at approximately $33.2 million Canadian. Victory Square maintains an approximate 36.17% equity stake in Blockchain Assembly, which plans to list on the Canadian Securities Exchange later this year.
Incubated by Victory Square in 2017, Blockchain Assembly focuses on designing and deploying innovative token-based capital solutions for technology firms, while helping those businesses raise capital through comprehensive tokenization strategies that include delivering Token sales to the global capital markets.
FansUnite Media Inc. Acquisition (400% GAIN)
Victory Square acquired FansUnite Media Inc. (“FansUnite”) in September 2016 for $2 million Canadian in exchange for common shares in Victory Square. Victory Square is pleased to announce that FansUnite is currently raising a private placement round of $4 million Canadian (at a pre-money valuation of $13 million Canadian) towards their go-public strategy in Q4 2018. FansUnite is also planning to launch their regulatory-compliant token sale this summer to raise an additional $10 million Canadian of non-dilutive funding for the company.
FansUnite is using blockchain to disrupt the sports betting and sports data industries. The flagship FansUnite asset will be the first sports betting blockchain protocol, allowing any company to build their tokenized platform on top of the FansUnite infrastructure. The first application built atop this protocol will be the FansUnite Sportsbook, the first decentralized social sports betting platform in the world.
