Original Title: Fireblocks acquires crypto accounting firm TRES for $130M as it expands offerings
Original Link:
Digital asset infrastructure provider Fireblocks has acquired crypto accounting platform TRES to integrate its tax compliance infrastructure and enhance support for institutional clients managing digital assets.
Key Highlights
Fireblocks has acquired TRES for $130 million in cash and equity
TRES will continue operating as a standalone product
The acquisition enables Fireblocks to offer secure asset custody and audit-ready financial intelligence within a single platform
About the Deal
Founded in early 2022, TRES is an enterprise-grade financial data and accounting platform designed for the digital asset industry that supports over 280 blockchains, including high-profile clientele like Phantom, Dune, and Wintermute.
With “hundreds of billions monthly” in stablecoin settlements and “entire treasury flows” coming on-chain, the company believes there’s a growing demand for advanced blockchain accounting protocols for institutions to remain compliant.
“Both crypto-native firms and traditional institutions need clear, accurate accounting and auditability. By offering TRES and Fireblocks together, customers can now run both their digital asset operations and get the financial intelligence they need on one secure, compliant, scalable stack,” Fireblocks CEO Michael Shaulov said.
TRES CEO and co-founder Tal Zackon noted that the financial data platform will continue to operate as a standalone product, with existing services and customers remaining unaffected.
Fireblocks Expansion
With this acquisition, Fireblocks, which already provides crypto custody, transfer, and settlement services to over 2,400 enterprises, has made its second major purchase in three months.
Back in October, the company acquired enterprise-focused wallet provider Dynamic for roughly $90 million. During the same time, a consumer-centric layer-1 blockchain added support for Fireblocks.
This closely followed the launch of the Fireblocks Network for Payments, a coalition of over 40 major firms created to establish a unified global stablecoin network.
Fireblocks is also a partner of Singapore Gulf Bank, which offers a stable, regulated banking experience to crypto companies.

Fireblocks spends $130M on tax compliance? Now on-chain accounting has been integrated, and it feels like the entire ecosystem is being encroached upon by the "mainstream forces."

13 billion USD acquisition of an accounting platform? Honestly, that's a bit outrageous. Will this investment truly improve the user experience, or is it just another wave of cutting leeks?

130 million spent on tax compliance acquisition? How long do I have to save this money before breaking even... I’ve been monitoring the gas tracker late at night, and Fireblocks just went all out with a big move.

Wow, Fireblocks is making a big move again... Dropping 130M just for tax compliance? This circle is really becoming more and more compliant.
