Bitcoin media CoinDesk announced today that Digital Currency Group (DCG) has completed its acquisition of the company. The following content is translated from CoinDesk’s announcement:

We are pleased to announce that CoinDesk has been acquired by Digital Currency Group, a leader in the bitcoin and blockchain industry and one of CoinDesk’s early investors and supporters.

Readers have trusted CoinDesk to be the leading chronicler of the digital currency industry since we launched in 2013. As the industry has grown and new companies have emerged, it’s clear that the need for information about individuals and companies in the space has also increased.

"The Digital Currency Group's resources and vision will enable the CoinDesk team to keep pace with these growing demands and continue to improve the quality of our journalism for our readers. Additionally, the Digital Currency Group's experience in marketing, sales, and product development will expand our team's existing offerings, including conferences and premium content."

Last September, we held our first Consensus 2015 conference in New York City, which was a huge success, with many attendees commenting that it was the best industry conference they had ever seen.

In addition to providing a high-quality speaker lineup and editorial content, our goal for the Consensus 2015 conference is to provide attendees and sponsors with networking opportunities that cannot be found at other industry gatherings.

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting the Consensus 2016 conference in New York City from May 2nd to May 4th, 2016, in partnership with Digital Currency Group and Coin Center.

We have already confirmed several speakers and applications are now open.
