Blockspace Acquires Bitcoin Layers to Expand Bitcoin L2 Data Intelligence<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Blockspace Media has acquired Bitcoin Layers<\/a>, an independent data platform tracking metrics across Bitcoin\u2019s layer-2 and scaling ecosystem, as the company expands beyond journalism into data and intelligence products.<\/p>\n

The acquisition brings Bitcoin Layers\u2019 research and on-chain analytics directly into Blockspace\u2019s content and product suite, including a forthcoming data dashboard designed to track adoption, total value locked (TVL), and activity across Bitcoin L2s and other scaling platforms, the company wrote to Bitcoin Magazine.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Layers will serve as Blockspace\u2019s<\/a> first proprietary data product, with plans to expand coverage to bitcoin-related equities, ETFs, and additional market intelligence offerings in the coming year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Layers maintainer Janusz will remain involved as an advisor following the acquisition.<\/p>\n

\u201cBlockspace is more than a Bitcoin publication,\u201d said<\/a> William Foxley, co-founder of Blockspace. \u201cWe\u2019re building a platform to cover the investable landscape of Bitcoin-related assets. With Bitcoin Layers joining Blockspace, we\u2019ll be working directly with investors, token foundations, and Bitcoin startups to better understand real on-chain user metrics.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Bitcoin Layers data as of January 14, more than 361,830 BTC, worth over $34.5 billion, is currently locked across Bitcoin bridging protocols, layer-2 networks, and other scaling solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the market has grown rapidly, it remains fragmented, with \u201cL2\u201d often used as a catch-all term for a wide range of architectures and trust models.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin Layers established itself as the premier research platform for Bitcoin layer-2s and bitcoin-backed assets across chains,\u201d Janusz said. \u201cBy integrating with Blockspace, we can expand our data platforms to help investors and protocol developers deeply understand user trends, while continuing to educate users on the architectures behind the protocols they interact with.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blockspace\u2019s use of Bitcoin Layers tech <\/h2>\n

The company said they plan to use Bitcoin Layers data to better differentiate the growing L2 ecosystem for both retail and institutional investors, highlighting distinctions between rollups, sidechains, federated models, and other scaling approaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Additional metrics covering bitcoin-adjacent public companies and financial products are expected to roll out in 2026.<\/p>\n

The acquisition also reinforces the company\u2019s focus on technical infrastructure and scaling research. Many of the projects tracked by Bitcoin Layers have been featured at OPNEXT, Blockspace\u2019s technical conference, with the next event scheduled for April 16, 2026, in New York.<\/p>\n

The company said it will build on its existing studio and research initiatives while developing new data-driven products for investors and builders across the Bitcoin ecosystem.<\/p>\n
