How this list was built
A company counts when its headquarters is in the San Francisco Bay Area. Companies without a known headquarters aren't on location lists. Companies whose website no longer works, or that collapsed (FTX, Celsius, BlockFi …), are left out.
The data comes from LeadWave's crypto database, last updated in November 2026: companies from Crunchbase and CoinMarketCap, each website checked to be live, with headquarters, headcount and funding refreshed in November 2026. Decision makers who had moved to another company were replaced or taken out. The table ranks companies by funding raised and CoinMarketCap rank, whichever puts them higher.
Every company here is in the list of crypto companies, 1,324 companies with their decision makers' emails.
