Ledger Stax
Since 2014, 6.5 million devices have been released, making it the undisputed market leader. It offers seamless integration with major cryptocurrency exchanges and the Ledger Live online wallet. It supports De-Fi, NFTs, Web3, and staking. There is also the option to obtain a Visa card.
Ledger provides services in areas such as Decentralized Finance (DeFi), Token and NFT creation, Custody, and Governance systems. It serves over 100 companies, including prominent names like Samsung, Crypto.com, Animoca Brands, Bitstamp, and Uphold.
Ledger made an exciting announcement in December 2022 with the launch of their long-awaited wallet model, Ledger Stax. The design of this model was created by a designer from Apple. The shipments are scheduled to start in May 2023. The overwhelming demand for Ledger Stax led the company to temporarily halt pre-orders. This model has already proven to be the most successful hardware wallet in Ledger's entire history.

Investors
In March 2023, Ledger raised €100 million in its previous funding round (Series C extension) conducted in June 2021. Since then, the company's business has grown fivefold.
Despite the overall market decline and multiple downward valuations (down rounds) of even the most popular venture-backed companies (such as Klarna, Stripe, Instacart, Brex, Snyk...), Ledger was able to secure a mega-round at its previous valuation, demonstrating investor confidence in the company's success.
The EV/R multiple (Enterprise Value/Revenue), based on the company's valuation in the latest round, currently stands at 4x. The average EV/R ratio in the Blockchain sector for rapidly growing private companies ranges from 8-12x for loss-making companies to 20-50x for profitable ones.
