Revenue for BlockFi increased by almost 2500% in just three years, placing them at the top of the Inc. 5000 list.
Despite being hit with a hefty punishment this year at the behest of the SEC, crypto lender CeFi was named Inc. magazine's top revenue gainer.
BlockFi is the most rapidly expanding firm in America in 2022, according to Inc. magazine.
With a growth rate of 245,616%, it topped the Inc. 5000 2022 list, beating out the second-placed firm by more than 99,000%, a nursing recruitment platform.
Out of the 5,000 submissions, the average growth rate was 230%.
The Inc. list "ranks organizations by overall revenue growth over a three-year period," as stated by the publication.
After a number of unexpected developments this year, BlockFi's three-year anniversary is especially noteworthy in the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency.
According to an accompanying piece in Inc., BlockFi, a provider of crypto-based financial services based in the Cayman Islands, began the year as a unicorn in discussions with JPMorgan about an initial public offering.
At least some people saw the company's February payment of $100 million to the SEC and U.S. states for suspected unregistered securities sales as good news, since it put them on track to develop the first SEC-regulated crypto product based on their BlockFi Interest Account.
BlockFi founder Flori Marquez told Inc. that the timing of the layoff, which affected 20% of the company's 850 employees, was merely coincidental. This was after Celsius had frozen withdrawals.
Both she and co-founder Zac Prince described the choice as "gut wrenching" at the time.
In July, BlockFi and FTX US announced a $250 million loan transaction, which was quickly raised to a $400 million revolving credit facility and an option to acquire BlockFi "for a variable price of up to $240 million."
There is a charge associated with being considered for the Inc. 5000 list, which this year ranged from $195 to $245 (depending on when the application was submitted).
