Austin, USA, August 17, 2026, Chainwire — BitcoinWorld Media is marking six years since its founding in 2020, when co-founders Mohit Kumar and Keshav Aggarwal turned the growing BitcoinWorld Facebook community into an independent crypto media platform. The company began with a community of more than 100,000 members and has since expanded its editorial coverage and global audience, building a growing presence across the cryptocurrency and digital-asset media landscape. The milestone was announced through Chainwire, a press-release distribution service widely used across the crypto industry, and the audience, client, and partnership figures cited in the release are the company's own.
The company was founded after Kumar, who had built the BitcoinWorld community, and Aggarwal, then working at Entrepreneur India, identified an opportunity to develop the community into a dedicated media platform. What started as a small operation in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic has grown into BitcoinWorld Media, which continues to publish for a global audience. That 2020 founding placed the outlet's early years directly alongside crypto's pandemic-era boom and the downturns that followed.
The business launched with limited resources. There were no major investors, no polished pitch decks, and no formal office, only a website — — and a shared belief that independent, consistent crypto coverage still had a place. In the beginning, Mohit and Keshav handled nearly every function themselves as co-founders, salespeople, accountants, editors, and operations staff. They wrote, published, pursued partnerships, managed invoices, and answered reader messages directly.
Six years later, the company that began as a side project during COVID has become a steadily growing media house with a global footprint.
Building in public, one article at a time
The early years were defined by persistence more than polish. While many crypto media projects emerged and disappeared with market cycles, BitcoinWorld Media kept publishing. That churn was especially visible after the 2022 failures of Terra and FTX, which were followed by a deep market downturn in which several crypto publishers cut staff or closed, and CoinDesk, the sector's largest newsroom, was sold to Bullish Group in 2023 — the kind of consolidation that gives longevity claims in crypto media their context. Its audience grew gradually but meaningfully. Today, the website reaches approximately 300,000 monthly readers, with a significant share of traffic coming from the United States, across Asia, and from Singapore.
The company has also built a deliberate presence on social platforms, including:
- Over 100,000 followers on Binance Square
- 18,000 followers on X, where it holds the Golden Badge, the verification marker X issues to verified organizations
- 12,500 followers on CoinMarketCap, the crypto data platform Binance acquired in 2020
In 2023, Binance recognized the platform with the Creator of the Year award. In 2025, it was named among The Blockchain 100 for top crypto press. According to the company, those recognitions reflected years of consistent coverage across Bitcoin, DeFi, RWAs, memecoins, BNB Chain developments, and the broader market narrative.
From two founders to a six-person team
What began as a two-person operation has grown into a focused team of six people handling operations, accounts, content, strategy, and business development. The company is now registered in the United States in Austin, Texas, a step it describes as reflecting both ambition and the need for a clearer international structure.
Its editorial operation runs 24/7, with news published around the clock. In early 2025, BitcoinWorld Media also began publishing regularly on AI and Forex, citing reader interest and the overlap between those markets and digital assets. For a publication that says it weathered thin crypto ad revenue in past downturns, broadening the topical mix is one of the concrete structural changes it has made since those lean years.
Partnerships have expanded as well. The company now works with more than 920 clients and agencies. Its distribution reaches across more than 13 media channels, helping stories travel further than a single website could on its own — a reach that matters given the platform's articles are no longer featured in Google News, as noted in its company boilerplate.
What the journey required
Looking back, the company says the most important decision was not a specific article or a viral post, but the decision to keep showing up when the market was quiet, when ad revenue was thin, and when the founders were still doing every role themselves. The partnership between Mohit and Keshav has lasted six years, longer than many crypto ventures survive, and that continuity remains a key part of the company's foundation.
BitcoinWorld Media says it did not begin with institutional capital or a famous brand. It started with a Facebook group that already showed people wanted to talk about Bitcoin, and with two people willing to turn that conversation into a publication. Since then, the company has focused on daily publishing, reader trust, real partnerships, and gradual professionalization without losing its original voice.
Six years on, the company says it remains independent, continues to grow, and keeps publishing. In an industry that moves quickly and often overlooks its own history, it says that alone is notable. What the company points to ahead is continuity rather than reinvention: the 24/7 newsroom, the AI and forex coverage added in 2025, and the syndication network spanning more than 13 channels are the stated markers readers can track as it enters a seventh year.
