The acquisition was announced on-stage at the 2nd annual Enterprise Digital Asset Summit (EDAS) in Austin, TX.

With this acquisition, Bitwave expands its educational offerings in the digital asset space and solidifies its commitment to bridging the gap between the traditional and decentralized financial systems.

Multisig Media publishes CPE-accredited courses in crypto accounting and finance; and their flagship newsletter Triple Entry is read by more than 3,000 professionals in Web3, DeFi, accounting, finance, and more.

Both companies share a common vision to empower, inform, and educate finance professionals with the most up-to-date guidance for digital asset accounting. This acquisition will accelerate and expand Bitwave’s ability to meet the educational needs of businesses, further cementing it as the go-to leader for Web3 finance and accounting professionals.

“Bitwave was created with the core purpose of mitigating the complexity of digital asset accounting. This includes dedicated educational support for all accounting teams – no matter where they are in their Web3 journey,” said Bitwave COO and Co-Founder Amy Kalnoki.

“This acquisition of Multisig Media will expand Bitwave’s ability to educate all finance professionals with the most innovative and compelling content available today,” said Kalnoki.

With the acquisition, the Triple Entry newsletter will continue its coverage of the Web3 accounting and finance space with content designed to close the knowledge gap for crypto accountants. More opportunities for accountants to earn CPE credits are coming soon.

From the get-go, we’ve been focused on educating accounting and finance professionals on all things digital assets,” said Multisig Media CEO Trevor Ward.

“We want accountants passionate about the future of this industry to have the tools they need to meet the challenges of crypto accounting head-on. Solving this problem - or as we like to call it, Operation 'Build-a-Better-Back-Office' - has always been our mission, because we believe this is one of the key components of accelerating the mass adoption of digital assets,” said Ward.

    After the upgrade and introduction of blobs on Ethereum Dencun, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin shared his insights on the future direction of Ethereum's expansion. Vitalik emphasized the transformation of Ethereum's expansion from basic expansion work to centralized, progressive enhancement. Vitalik also stated that developers' focus will shift to the application layer. Ethereum will maintain its roadmap centered on L2, and applications will migrate from L1 to L2 to benefit from faster and more cost-effective transactions. An upcoming upgrade is Data Availability Sampling (DAS), which aims to increase the data space for each slot to 16 MB. Progressive expansion improvements include gradually increasing blob capacity, improving data compression, and EIP-7623 (aimed at reducing maximum block size).
