SILICON VALLEY, Calif., April 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Auradine, a leading provider of web infrastructure solutions, including blockchain, security, and AI, today announced the closing of its Series B funding round, which raised over $80 million. The round welcomed several new investors, including StepStone Group, Top Tier Capital Partners, MVP Ventures, and Maverick Capital, along with leading strategic and angel investors. Existing investors Celesta Capital, Mayfield Fund, and Marathon Digital also participated in this round. This Series B funding follows Auradine’s $81 million Series A, led by Celesta Capital and Mayfield in 2022.
Auradine started with a mission to disrupt the blockchain market with its revolutionary Teraflux™ family of Bitcoin ASIC Miners. Auradine has delivered leading-edge ASICs and solutions with the world's fastest miners, setting new performance and energy efficiency benchmarks. The Teraflux products also feature Auradine’s patent-pending EnergyTune™ and AutoTune™ innovations, which are critical to addressing the demand response and grid stability requirements of the energy infrastructure.
These products have now been shipped to over 30 leading data-center-scale miners, with robust field performance proven over long durations in extreme conditions for air and immersion cooling form factors. As a result, Auradine has achieved bookings of $80M along with a robust order pipeline of over $200 million and is continuing to grow its customer base globally.
Auradine’s strong market momentum in the Bitcoin mining sector underscores its commitment to delivering world-leading solutions. This achievement is significant, especially as the company champions innovation and designs its products in the United States, a critical factor for decentralized supply and national security in the current geopolitical landscape. With its Series B funding and a track record of success, Auradine is well-positioned to rapidly scale Teraflux revenues and enhance R&D for its portfolio of blockchain and AI security solutions.
“We are very proud of the advancements that our team has made in bringing innovative, energy-efficient, and secure products to our customers,” said Rajiv Khemani, co-founder and CEO of Auradine. “The strong orders and pipeline reflect the confidence our customers have in us. With this new funding, we will ramp up production capacity and accelerate investments in our product roadmaps.”
