Financial Update for November 2020
Every month the Lisk Foundation provides a financial report in which monthly expenditures are transparently broken down into different categories.
Total Assets Held by the Lisk Foundation
In this section, you can check up on all fiat currency and cryptocurrency assets currently in possession of the Foundation. We will also use this part of the update to let you know about any major changes in our portfolio.
Crypto Asset Liquidation
The Lisk Foundation liquidates its assets in order to have enough fiat to cover expenses. In September, 275 BTC were transferred to Bitcoin Suisse AG to be liquidated over a period of two months. In November, the BTC liquidation was completed. The following amounts were transferred from Bitcoin Suisse AG to the Lisk Foundation bank account: EUR 2.677.837,78 on November 11th and EUR 120.747,79 on November 17th.
Total Expenditures for the Month of November
In the expenditures section of the Financial Update, you can see how much the Foundation has spent on various aspects of Lisk’s growth. For your convenience, we have divided this section into four areas:
Development
By far the biggest area of expenditure by the Lisk Foundation, this encompasses everything spent on the research, development, and design of Lisk Core, SDK, Desktop, Mobile, and Explorer.
Marketing
This key area of growth for Lisk includes not only traditional marketing like public relations, or performance, but extends to everything spent on business development, event management, creative design, and developer relations.
Bounties & Sponsorships
The stronger the Lisk community, the stronger our blockchain is going to be. Under this area of expenditure, we outline all money spent on bug bounties, supporting proof of concept blockchain applications built with the Lisk SDK, or joint efforts with community members like the Lisk Center in Utrecht.
Operations
Here, we mention all expenses needed in the day-to-day running of the Lisk Foundation, such as salaries, office costs, or administrative contractors dealing with accounting or legal compliance.
