About Blockware
Blockware is a U.S.-based company founded in 2017 with a mission to make Bitcoin mining accessible to everyone. Since our inception, we have placed clients in over 500 MW of hosting facilities, sold over 400,000 mining rigs, and enabled our clients to mine over 10,000 BTC through our mining pool. Our Blockware Intelligence proprietary research has garnered over 500,000,000 views, establishing us as a trusted source of insights within the industry.
Our Founding Vision
Blockware was founded by Mason Jappa, Sam Chwarzynski, and Mathew D’Souza in 2017, during a time when Bitcoin was priced around $1,100, and the U.S. accounted for less than 1% of the global mining hashrate. With a shared vision to bring Bitcoin mining to the United States, the founders began as a trusted supplier of mining rigs, importing from China to U.S. customers.
Mathew D’Souza, one of the co-founders, was a pioneer in the Bitcoin mining industry. His passion for blockchain technology and unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s potential were instrumental in shaping Blockware’s early growth. His legacy continues to inspire our mission and commitment to making Bitcoin mining accessible to everyone.

Expansion into Hosting and Infrastructure
As demand for our services grew, we recognized that many of our customers preferred a hands-off approach to mining. In response, we expanded our operations to offer hosting solutions. In 2022, we launched our own 20 MW hosting data center in Eastern Kentucky, strategically located to take advantage of local resources and favorable tax incentives. Since then, we have expanded this site to add additional megawatts of capacity and have partnered with five more third-party hosting facilities, collectively offering over 100 MW of capacity. With our hosting network continuing to grow, we provide reliable and scalable solutions to meet the evolving needs of our mining customers.
Launch of the Blockware Marketplace
Continuing to innovate in response to customer needs, we launched the Blockware Marketplace in 2023. This platform was developed to give miners a trusted space to buy and sell mining rigs with complete transparency. On the Marketplace, you know exactly what you’re purchasing, from the rig’s serial number to its historical hashrate performance. All transactions are completed in Bitcoin and recorded on the Bitcoin blockchain, ensuring security and traceability. Within just a couple of hours, your new rig is fully operational and mining directly to your wallet, embodying our founding vision of making Bitcoin mining accessible to all.
