	~~On July 19, 2016 [[Blocktrail]] was acquired by [[Bitmain]] and subsequently re-branded to~~ BTC.com.~~<ref>http://www~~.~~coindesk.com/bitcoin-miner-bitmain-acquires-blockchain-data-startup/</ref>~~		'''BTC.com''' is a name that has sat on a block explorer, a wallet, an API and a mining pool. Those products do not share one owner in the sources below, and the sentences do not collapse into "owned by Bitmain".

	==~~Wallet~~==		== Early history ==
			A CoinDesk report said that on 19 July 2016 Blocktrail was acquired by Bitmain and then rebranded to BTC.com.<ref name="cd2016acq">[http://www.coindesk.com/bitcoin-miner-bitmain-acquires-blockchain-data-startup/ CoinDesk: Bitmain acquires Blocktrail]</ref> A second report said that on 13 September 2016 BTC.com launched a mining pool using pay-per-share settlement.<ref name="cd2016pool">[http://www.coindesk.com/bitmain-bitcoin-mining-launch-second-mining-pool/ CoinDesk: BTC.com mining pool launch]</ref> The pool's own launch note described the pool as open source and, at launch, without a mining fee.<ref name="btclaunch">[https://blog.btc.com/btc-com-launches-new-open-source-mining-pool-with-zero-mining-fee-2f6e0a53ce2c BTC.com pool launch note]</ref>

	The ~~wallets they offer allow you to buy bitcoin alongside basic wallet features and features like 2~~-~~factor-auth~~.		The BIT Mining Limited release of 15 April 2021 says BTC.com was founded by Jihan Wu.<ref name="sec2021">[https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1517496/000110465921050757/tm2113103d1_ex99-1.htm BIT Mining, 15 April 2021, first closing of the BTC.com businesses]</ref>

	The ~~wallets are open source software hosted at http://github~~.com~~/blocktrail/blocktrail-~~wallet.		== 2021: pool, domain and wallet move to BIT Mining ==
			On 15 April 2021 BIT Mining Limited (then still trading on the NYSE as WBAI, and expecting the BTCM ticker) announced the first closing under a share exchange agreement dated 16 February 2021 with Blockchain Alliance Technologies Holding Company. The release says the entire mining pool business of Bitdeer Technologies Holding Company operated under BTC.com was transferred to BIT Mining. It lists, inside that transfer, the domain name BTC.com and the cryptocurrency wallet of BTC.com. The release calls those items, together, the BTC.com pool businesses.<ref name="sec2021" />

	== Mining ~~Pool ==~~		The same release says that on completion Jihan Wu and the other shareholders of Blockchain Alliance would together hold 7.9 percent of BIT Mining's outstanding share capital as of 14 April 2021. An amendment the same day moved the profit-measurement window for extra shares or a buyback to the twelve months from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.
	~~On September 13, 2016, BTC.com launched a mining pool<ref>http://www~~.~~coindesk.com/bitmain-bitcoin-mining-launch-second-mining~~-~~pool/</ref> using~~ a ~~settlement mode called PPS (pay-per-share).<ref>https://blog.btc.com/btc-com-launches-new-open-source-mining-pool-with-zero-mining-fee-2f6e0a53ce2c#~~.~~33zivpv2w</ref>~~

	==~~See Also~~==		== 2024: the pool business is sold ==
			BIT Mining's interim report exhibit filed in 2024 describes a later sale of the pool business. On 28 December 2023 the company agreed to sell the entire mining pool business operated under BTC.com to Esport-Win Limited, a Hong Kong company, for a total consideration of US$5 million. The exhibit says closing occurred on 29 February 2024. For accounting, it says the business was treated as disposed of on 31 January 2024, when the company relinquished control and received the first payment.<ref name="sec2024">[https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1517496/000141057824001646/btcm-20240927xex99d2.htm BIT Mining, Exhibit 99.2, management discussion, pool disposal]</ref>

			The exhibit does not state who kept the wallet after that sale.

			== CloverPool ==
			A CloverPool help article, marked updated on 14 February 2025, says the company launched a brand-upgrade plan in September 2024. It says the new name is CloverPool, the pool site is cloverpool.com, and the explorer is explorer.cloverpool.com. The same article says the BTC.com team had been at work since an establishment in 2015, across browsers, a wallet, a pool and related pages.<ref name="clover">[https://help.cloverpool.com/hc/en-us/articles/37617380694425-Announcement-on-Brand-Upgrade-to-CloverPool CloverPool: brand upgrade announcement]</ref>

			The article also prints mining endpoints for bitcoin:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			! Region named on the CloverPool article
			! Endpoint
			\|-
			\| US
			\| stratum+tcp://us.ss.cloverpool.com:1800
			\|-
			\| EU
			\| stratum+tcp://eu.ss.cloverpool.com:1800
			\|-
			\| Southeast Asia
			\| stratum+tcp://sg.ss.cloverpool.com:1800
			\|}

			The article mentions a backup port as well. Pool operator links point at CloverPool as the name the successor notice uses for the pool.

			== Wallet and explorer ==
			The older article described a web wallet at wallet.btc.com, mobile builds that began as Blocktrail wallet apps, and source at the Blocktrail wallet repository. The 2021 filing included the wallet in the transfer to BIT Mining. After the 2024 pool sale, the cited filings do not name an operator of wallet.btc.com.

			The explorer hostname moved, in the CloverPool notice, to explorer.cloverpool.com.
