In a press release sent to Bitcoin Magazine, Stillmark, the world’s first Bitcoin-focused venture capitalist firm founded in 2019, announced artificial intelligence expert Vikash Singh as Principal Investor, looking to further their impetus resulting in over $40 million raised for Bitcoin and Lightning startups.

“Bitcoin has always been an incredibly exciting field, but with new technical developments, especially in Layer-2 technologies such as Lightning, the stage is set for Bitcoin to positively impact the lives of billions around the world,” said Singh, per the release.
