Overall Assessment

Blackrock Neurotech (formerly Blackrock Microsystems) has operated as a foundational hardware provider in the brain-computer interface sector for decades. Initially bootstrapped and grant-funded, its trajectory shifted heavily into institutional and tech-billionaire orbits in the 2020s, first securing funding from Peter Thiel and Christian Angermayer, and subsequently ceding majority ownership to cryptocurrency giant Tether in 2024 to accelerate commercialization of its FDA-designated Utah Array.
