Mastercard is weighing a strategic investment in Zerohash rather than an acquisition

According to informed sources, Mastercard is considering a strategic investment in blockchain infrastructure company Zerohash after the acquisition negotiations were terminated.

Previously, the acquisition talks ended as Zerohash chose to remain independent. According to reports from last October, Mastercard had entered the later stages of negotiations to acquire Zerohash, with a potential purchase price of up to $2 billion. Mastercard declined to comment on this.
