Bitkraft Ventures, an investment company in an early phase, has added new leaders who will double the Web3 game investment.
Bitkraft, which increased its third fund in 2024 and has $ 1 billion in terms of asset management, united promotion actions for Carlos Pereira and Jonathan Huang to the general partner and partner, resistant, help strengthen their Web3 investment strategy.
In addition, Matt Halstead, director of the Texas Investment Fund in Texas (Texas Teachers) and Early Web3, joined the company as a partner’s partner.
Pereira was a helpful growth of the Bitkraft Web3 strategy, which has been led since 2022. Bitkraft has so far supported many categories at interactive entertainment, tech and crypto interactive entertainment. It led the wheels in an unchanged blockchain by de-medized play; EVE FRONTIER, new game Blockchain allowed by EPIC EVE online; Karate Combat, a fast -growing MMA league with more than 100 million monthly impressions; And Mira, 2025 CB Insights Top 100 Infrastructure AI Building Infiracture, which processes three billion tokens a day to support 4.5 million users.
It is a courageous bet from Bitkraft, which took care of Jens Hilgers in Berlin, because the way to success in the games web3 has stretched and the adoption of the mass market is not Guaranraleed, not even so many crypto betting in non -border spaces turned out to invest in Brater. Some players in the West had an allergic reaction to Web3, and this saved the efforts of large game companies to accept blockchain solutions. And about 93% of web3 game startups failed to launch their tokens.
Yet web3 game companies will hit milestones and still a number of big bets. Investments in Web3 game games are therefore starting to return after they hit the trough (with the investment score for the quarter) – perhaps US President Belcaus Donald Trump favors the Krypto market.
Why down?
As the web3 market ripen, Bitkraft will double in its thesis that blockchain supports
Digital rights, property, identity and economies will redefine games, creators of monetization and
Digital experiences.
I asked Pereira why Bitkraft would double, given the challenges of Web3 Gaming. In the gamebeat report he reproduced: “Because we think we have an advantage in the category, not only in games, but in consumer applications that are increasingly based on gamification and financing as a generation trend.”
He added: “Our numbers tell the story: Until now we have been less than 5% of our category financing and a quarter of our portfolio companies to restore almost half of the total market ceiling of the category.”
He said the abundance of funding, if at all, is the main indicator of Resturns Gooir’s compression forward when the award is pushing up. Avoiding from the category because it is too contradictory or under the filmed would be in a sense of anti-VC.
“Lack of bulk market achievements should not be a surprise to consider the general time that will need to create hit games VS, how long web3 games were investable, general” hit “VC investment and the fact that you had to build the game in Web3 and that only in the last year or two jumps/capacity,” Pereira said.

“Good things take time, but the direction of travel is crucial,” Pereira said.
Leadership Backings
Huang joined Bitkraft in 2023 and brings decades of experience across Web2 and Web3 investments from Asia, including Sea Capital and Temasek, where Huang led his investment in Roblox. It focuses on consumer platforms, mobile studios and ecosystems of creators throughout Asia with an emphasis on the behavior of new generation users, cases of use and emerging models of monetization that transform industry in scale.
Huang’s promotion to a partner helps strengthen the position of Bitkraft in Asia and reflects the sequel Bitkraft

Web3.
Halstead brings Bitkraft a rare mixture of traditional asset management and web3 experience. As one of the first institutional investors in Crypto, the investment strategy of blockchain for Texas teachers led, investment institutions managed assets over $ 200 billion. The company believes that its transfer to Bitkraft is a strong approval of the legitimacy of Gaming Web3 as an investable category -A sign that seasoned allocators of institutional capital see real value in this space.
Bitkraft launched its Web3 game fund in 2021, which was a key catalyst of the company’s evolution – expanding beyond investment in the first internship in new assets, developing markets and diversified funding for the interactive media industry. Sales then Bitkraft grew to $ 1 billion in asset management, welcomed a strategic minority investment from Blue Owl, and last year expanded its global reach with a new presence in India.
“Web3 unlocked new creative and economic models for development, players and communities, and Bitkraft has long committed itself to its potential,” Pereira said in a statement. “When we enter the next phase of growth, we are expanding our range with experienced investors, such as Matt, whose institutional experience and deep roots in the crypt can only strengthen our web3 strategy. Matt is not just a respector, it is peers and vision.
“Bitkraft has built the results of web3 success in the US, Asia and developing markets,” Huang said in the state. “It continues to expand with blockchain adoption and new economic models showing sustainable, this is a key moment to support the next generation of web3 founders. We are a doubling of our Web3 strategy to help build the future of games, digital assets and interactive experience.”
“I joined Bitkraft because I believe their vision for Web3 is not just thinking forward, it’s transformative,” Halstead said in the state. “Web3 has the power to bridge digital and physical worlds, unlock new experiences and economic models that will return control to the hands of creators and players.
He added: “Bitkraft does not only invest in this future; it helps to build it as active participants, deeply rooted in Web3, playing and appearing technologies. This is the ideal partner for those who shaped further digital entertainment era, and I am excited to help address and support the innovators.”
