Firm Launches Grayscale Digital Infrastructure Opportunities LLC to allow accredited investors to access infrastructure that powers the digital asset ecosystem
STAMFORD, Conn., Oct. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Grayscale Investments®, the world’s largest digital currency asset manager, today announced the formation of Grayscale Digital Infrastructure Opportunities LLC (“GDIO”), a private, co-investment opportunity in mining hardware that powers the Bitcoin ecosystem. Grayscale is leveraging the operating expertise of its affiliated digital asset mining, staking infrastructure firm, Foundry, to manage the day-to-day operations of GDIO. This structure is the first of its kind in Grayscale’s product suite.
“Grayscale’s unique position at the center of the crypto ecosystem enables us to create offerings that allow investors to put capital to work through differing market cycles,” said Grayscale CEO Michael Sonnenshein. “Our team has long been committed to lowering the barrier for investing in the crypto ecosystem – from direct digital asset exposure, to diversified thematic products, and now infrastructure through GDIO.”
“As part of Foundry’s mission to empower a decentralized infrastructure, we’re excited to partner with Grayscale to broaden the ability to invest in Bitcoin mining during this opportune time,” said Foundry CEO Michael Colyer. “Foundry has worked to progress our mission through our suite of products, industry knowledge, hosting relationships, and the Foundry USA Pool, which is the #1 pool in the world. We look forward to helping create new opportunities for growth and innovation.”
GDIO is now open for investment by eligible individual and institutional accredited investors.

Grayscale Digital Infrastructure Opportunities LLC (“GDIO”) is an operating business and is not a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act, and Grayscale believes that GDIO is not required to register under such act.
