CHICAGO, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Entrepreneur, Mathew J. D'Souza, CPA, 29, died August 21, 2020, surrounded by his loved ones after a heroic 7-year battle with leukemia.  Matt is survived by his parents, brothers, and countless friends. 

Matt had one of the most well-respected names in the Bitcoin & Blockchain industry.  He built several multi-million dollar companies from scratch and cultivated a network of connections that led to unprecedented success in the cryptocurrency space.

In 2017, Matt co-founded Blockchain Opportunity Fund, LLC, a multi-million dollar cryptocurrency hedge fund. 

Later that year, Matt co-founded Blockware Solutions, LLC, a leading service provider for the Bitcoin Mining Industry. Under Matt's leadership as CEO, Blockware Solutions has become one of the largest distributors of mining rigs to the US Market.

Matt graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (with Honors) in 2012 and a Master of Accounting Science in 2013 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign – Gies College of Business.

Despite all of his achievements in the cryptocurrency industry, Matt can best be remembered for his huge heart, strong will, and generous spirit.  Everyone who knew him, loved him.
