Strike, the web3 project powering a betting app, fight league, and full-stack media company, has officially announced its $7.6 million fundraising round with participation from leading angel investors, traders, athletes, and KOLs. These include Michael Burgess, Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, RookieXBT, Trader Mayne, Keyboard Monkey, Pentoshi, Vagabond, G Money, Loma, and more.
Strike’s native token will act as a multi-system token that will power a sportsbook/betting platform, a full-stack media company, and a fight league. These include Dirty Boxing Championship, Overdogs Bet, and Kanpai Pandas (Kanpai Media). This unique blend of Web2 and Web3 products will be one of the real utility use cases, which include sports, media, NFTs, and native digital assets.
Strike founding member Josh Mclean (Bagz) says, “We’ve spent over two years building one of the most consumer-facing products to come out of the crypto space. The flywheel effect with billions of Web2 views is unparalleled. This includes one of the most successful global MMA media companies, which will power every product launch. Our goal from day one is to help create mainstream adoption and I think we’ve done that with the Strike ecosystem.”
This fundraising round will be a key driver in further expanding the Strike portfolio of products. A one-of-a-kind token covering multiple ecosystems with highly successful businesses. Merging the world’s fastest-growing sport and Web3, powered by hundreds of millions of views annually.
“Attention is the currency of the modern era, and the most successful brands know how to earn, nurture, and scale it. Strike is uniquely positioned to leverage a rapidly growing crypto user base through its innovative media, entertainment, and combat sports ecosystem. We’re excited to see how the team drives this vision forward in 2025 and beyond,” says VC fund and Strike investor Ascensive Assets.
