Foundry Digital LLC ("Foundry") is a private, wholly-owned subsidiary of Digital Currency Group Inc. (DCG); it has no public ticker. It is headquartered in Rochester, New York, and is registered in Delaware (Wilmington). Third-party trackers place its founding in 2019 and report inconsistent size estimates — Tracxn lists roughly 78 employees (June 2026) while SignalHire estimates 100–200; revenue estimates range from about $44M to $100M. None of these figures are company-reported, so treat them as unverified.
Foundry is an operating company in digital-asset infrastructure, not a patent assertion entity. Its core business is Foundry USA Pool, a U.S.-based Bitcoin mining pool (Full-Pay-Per-Share payouts, KYC compliance) that has repeatedly held roughly 30% of global Bitcoin hashrate, making it among the largest pools. It also offers Foundry OptiFleet, enterprise software for monitoring and automating mining fleets, plus equipment financing/procurement, staking, and advisory services for institutional miners. It launched a Zcash mining pool and the Zcashinfo.com block explorer in 2026. Its self-mining arm was spun out in January 2025 as Fortitude Mining, a separate DCG subsidiary.
Its litigation posture is that of a defendant only: the tracked data show 0 plaintiff cases and 1 defendant case. Foundry is a defendant in Malikie Innovations Ltd. and Key Patent Innovations Ltd. v. Foundry Digital LLC et al., No. 7:25-cv-00567-DC-DTG, filed December 12, 2025 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Midland-Odessa Division — a division favored by patent plaintiffs. Co-defendants are Fortitude Mining, Riot Platforms, and Cipher Digital Inc. (f/k/a Cipher Mining). Foundry moved to dismiss for improper venue.
Malikie is a non-practicing entity asserting a portfolio of elliptic-curve cryptography patents (U.S. Patents 8,788,827; 8,806,197; 8,666,062; 8,532,286; 8,712,039) originating with Certicom and BlackBerry/RIM, covering ECDSA signature operations and efficient SHA-2 hash implementation — technologies the complaint ties to Bitcoin mining and transaction processing. Related Malikie suits have been filed against other Bitcoin miners, including in the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division.
