Uphold

Uphold is a digital money platform where people and businesses can move, trade, and manage different types of assets in one place. Its standout feature is the “Anything-to-Anything” interface, which lets users swap cryptocurrencies, regular currencies, and even precious metals like gold and silver without needing several accounts or extra steps.

Uphold offers more than just asset trading. Users can also send money abroad, earn interest on some balances, spend digital assets with debit card features, and use decentralized finance tools. Businesses can connect Uphold’s services through APIs to automate global payments and handle transactions in multiple currencies.

Uphold was founded in 2013 as Bitreserve, a Bitcoin wallet, but expanded its service and changed its name to Uphold in 2015. Early on, it added support for more cryptocurrencies, regular currencies, and other financial services. As a private company, Uphold raised about $58 million in a Series B funding round during its growth phase in 2017 and has drawn interest from industry partners for future investments and growth. Since then, Uphold has processed billions in transactions for hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide, and now serves millions of users in over 140 countries.

Uphold is not a public company, so you cannot buy shares through regular investment channels. However, Acquire.Fi offers private over-the-counter opportunities, letting you connect with current shareholders and employees who may want to sell. Investors can make an offer to buy Uphold equity or look at available opportunities from active sellers.

Minority shareholders who want a private exit can use the platform to sell Uphold equity over the counter. You can create a new Sell listing with your preferred terms or check live bids from approved buyers.

During the transaction, the Acquire.Fi team reviews all parties, helps with legal and compliance steps, and manages the process to make sure the over-the-counter trade is completed efficiently and securely.
