2020 Overview

2020 was a year of groundwork for TAAL in transitioning its business towards the goal of becoming a world leader in blockchain infrastructure and transaction processing.

The Company purchased new blockchain computers, which are anticipated to help the Company reach its 2021 goal of 400 petahash, owned and controlled by TAAL, on the BSV blockchain network once fully deployed.

Also, in 2020, TAAL expanded its enterprise blockchain infrastructure services with its acquisition of WhatsOnChain. WhatsOnChain owns proprietary BitcoinSV blockchain explorer technology developed by its founders, who created the first-ever BSV block explorer to provide data in an easy and user-friendly manner.

In connection with the Zug office opening, TAAL onboarded several key new hires to expand the Company’s operations, including a new President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Compliance Officer. In addition, Q4 2020 saw the election of two new members to its Board of Directors, and Mr. Stefan Matthews, the Chairman of the Company’s board of directors, took on the Chief Executive Officer position and is now serving as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Stefan Matthews, TAAL’s CEO and Executive Chairman, commented that

2020 was a year of transition for TAAL. Despite the challenges of the global pandemic, 2020 marked multiple and significant milestones for TAAL in building the infrastructure, capacity, and global expertise to enable us to execute our strategic plan.
