Corporate crypto investors: 16 funds of 98 NAUT tags Corporate

16 Corporate crypto investors of the 98 funds NAUT tags Corporate, read on 1 November 2026. Logos: Solana Ventures, Animoca Brands (Ventures), Jump Crypto, ConsenSys, Alchemy, SoftBank, Temasek, Tencent, J.P. Morgan, Nomura, GV Google Ventures, Intel Capital, SCB 10X, Cobo, EMURGO Africa, The Brooker Group.

NAUT tracks 16 corporate crypto investors: funds whose own NAUT record describes a corporation investing in other companies, and which hold at least 1 portfolio company on NAUT. That is the list left after reading all 98 live funds NAUT tagged fundType=Corporate on 1 November 2026, and the 16 carry 191 portfolio entries between them, from 49 at Solana Ventures down to 1 each at 6 of them.

How this list was built, on 1 November 2026: NAUT read every one of the 98 live funds carrying the Corporate tag and kept a row on 2 tests, that the row's own description says the firm is a corporation putting money into other companies, and that NAUT holds at least 1 portfolio company for it. 82 rows failed those tests and are out: exchanges, staking and node providers, media and research sites, quant trading and market-making firms, asset managers, protocol and product teams with no stated investing role, 3 ecosystem foundations whose own rows describe nonprofit grant funding, 1 row that turns out to be a vending-machine industry directory, and NVIDIA Venture Capital, whose row holds 0 portfolio companies. The parent corporation is a database link on 3 of the 16 (Animoca Brands (Ventures), Solana Ventures, Jump Crypto); for the rest it was read from the fund row's own description text. Average round size is the average size of the whole rounds on that fund's NAUT page, not the size of the fund's own cheque. NAUT also holds a second row for each of Alchemy and ConsenSys; only the rows linked here carry the Corporate tag, and every count here is that row's. Every portfolio count and total on this page is that 1 November 2026 read, and NAUT's records keep moving, so a fund page may already show 1 or 2 more by the time you click through: Solana Ventures and ConsenSys each read 1 higher on their live pages the same day. This list is what NAUT's records support, and it is not a measure of how much of each corporation's capital goes to crypto.

Which corporate crypto investors does NAUT track, and who owns them?

7 of the 16 sit on NAUT under a separately named venture arm, with the parent corporation named in the fund's own record. The table is ranked by portfolio companies on NAUT, highest first.

Venture arm Parent Portfolio Avg round
49 $13.6M
45 $35.6M
41 $34.2M
SCBX Group 3 $44.0M
1 $450.0M
Intel 1 $30.0M
1 $150K

5 of those 7 parents have their own NAUT page, so you can open the corporation and the arm side by side: Solana, Animoca Brands, Jump Trading, Google (Alphabet) and Cardano. NAUT checked the parent relationship against the fund's own site for 3 of the 16 on 1 November 2026. EMURGO Africa's site calls it the "investment and commercial arm of Cardano in Africa, accelerating blockchain technology". Animoca Brands (Ventures) describes itself on its own site and LinkedIn page as the venture investment arm of Animoca Brands, backing early-stage Web3 teams. Jump Crypto's site presents it as the blockchain division of Jump Trading, with investing as 1 of 3 stated pillars alongside trading and building.

Which corporations invest in crypto under their own name on NAUT?

The other 9 carry the Corporate tag on the corporation's own row, not on a separately named arm's row. That is a fact about NAUT's records, not about the world: several of these corporations do run a separately named crypto or venture vehicle, among them ConsenSys Ventures (launched 2017), Alchemy Ventures, SoftBank's Vision Funds, Temasek-backed Superscrypt, Nomura's Laser Digital and Brook Technology Capital VCC for The Brooker Group. None of those vehicles turned up among the 98 Corporate-tagged rows NAUT read for this list, so on NAUT the corporation's own row is the one that carries these counts. Ranked by portfolio companies on NAUT, highest first.

Corporation Portfolio Avg round
25 $11.6M
8 $20.8M
8 $255.2M
2 $107.5M
2 $235.0M
2 $10.2M
1 $4.0M
1 $100.0M
1 $60.0M

The X handles NAUT holds for these 9, in the same order: @ConsenSys, @AlchemyPlatform, @softbank_group, @TencentGlobal, @Temasek, @BrookerGroupPLC, @Cobo_Global, @nomura and @jpmorgan.

1 of the 9 is worth a note before you search: Cobo sits at the NAUT path /investors/cobo-ventures, and its own record describes Cobo Ventures as the investment arm, so both names lead to the same row.
