Chris Burniske

Chris Burniske is a partner at Placeholder, the New York venture firm he co-founded in 2017 with Joel Monegro and Brad Burnham to invest in cryptoassets and decentralized network infrastructure. Before Placeholder, he led ARK Invest's crypto efforts, and in 2015 drove ARK to become the first public fund manager to offer bitcoin exposure through the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust. He co-authored the 2017 book "Cryptoassets: The Innovative Investor's Guide to Bitcoin and Beyond" with Jack Tatar, an early framework for classifying and valuing blockchain-based assets. A Stanford graduate, he remains one of the most prominent long-horizon voices on crypto market cycles and network valuation.
