SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TimefireVR, Inc. (OTCQB:TFVR) (the "Company") today announced investing in the cryptocurrency Ethereum as part of the Company’s shift in corporate focus towards strategic investments in cryptocurrency and potential acquisitions of blockchain technology businesses. Ethereum is a leading blockchain platform for Decentralized Applications (“DApps”) that run on a peer-to-peer network of computers instead of on one single computer or server.

“We are pleased to make our first investment in blockchain technology as part of our renewed corporate strategy. We firmly believe in our investment in Ethereum, which in our opinion represents a long-term growth asset in the field,” stated Jonathan Read, Chief Executive Officer of TimefireVR.

Concurrent with the Company’s initial investment in Ethereum, TimefireVR is engaged in differing stages of evaluating, reviewing and in one instance negotiating potential acquisitions in initial coin offerings, cryptocurrency mining, and blockchain software systems. Going forward, we intend to consider other target acquisitions in the blockchain technology industry.

Mr. Read continued, “It is our intention to have a balanced operating business portfolio complimented by investments in cryptocurrencies. By diversifying and managing our risk portfolio, we are confident in our ability to succeed in creating strong shareholder value in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.”
