The valuation of the firm was not known, and the company reported a loss of $16 million in 2021, up significantly from $4.1 million in 2020. Copper didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

CoinDesk reported this summer that Copper was looking to close a funding round soon that had been delayed from 2021. At the time, the company was looking to be valued at around $2 billion, down from the $3 billion valuation it was reportedly seeking in November 2021.

Bloomberg first reported on Copper’s latest funding round.
