Investments in cryptocurrencies, blockchain startups, Web3 and DeFi
Our research team analyzed the investment patterns of single family offices in the crypto sector. While we can see that some family offices are relying for their crypto strategies on third-party asset managers, many family offices are also directly investing in startups and cryptocurrencies. This can mean direct investments in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, or in startups in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space or in Web3 ventures.
In this list we combine two unique assets: our global database with more than 1,600 global single family offices and our expertise in building web crawlers and analysis tool. For this list, we checked if the websites of the family offices from our database cover cryptocurrency keywords, such as „crypto“ or „blockchain“. This list includes all the data from our family office lists, as well as dedicated keyword analysis columns. The list include all family offices from our database that have at least 1 relevant crypto keyword occurrence.
Keyword Crawler Methodology
To manually search our database of the largest family offices with over 1600 entries for crypto-keywords would be very inefficient. So, we implemented a Python-based web crawler that works in a 3 step process:
- Each website of the family offices contained in our database is searched for subpages. This works similar to a Google crawler that crawls the pages recursively.
- Starting from the identified subpages, each one is searched for the relevant keywords. The analysis counts how often the targeted keywords are mentioned and are set it in relation with the total number of words. We then calculate various statistics (mentioned below).
- We combine the results of the analysis with the data from our family office database to create a specified list of family offices that deal with crypto.
Results of the keyword analysis: data points included in the list
First, just like our regular family office list, our crypto family office list contains all the usual columns and data points such as contact details, detailed investment focus information, executives and background information. The information is enriched with the results of our keyword analysis, namely:
- total_frequency (e.g.: 16) – total counted occurrences of keywords on family office website
- average_keyword_rate (e.g. 0.1) – average rate of keyword occurrences per subpage in relation with total number of words
- most_common_keyword (e.g. „cryptocurrency“) – keyword that was counted the most often on family office website
- most_common_keyword_frequency (e.g. 10) – number of times the most common keyword was counted
- sub_url_highest_rate (e.g. https://familyofficeabc.de/crypto) – sub url with the highest number of found keywords
- highest_rate (e.g. 0.1) – highest keyword rate per subpage
- frequency_per_keyword: {‘cryptocurrency’: 0, ‘crypto’: 828, ‘bitcoin’: 2078, ‘ethereum’: 0, ‘eth’: 1, ‘blockchain’: 0} – dictionary of number of keyword occurrences per keyword
Analyzed keywords and crawler settings
Our crawler analyzed the family office websites for the following keywords: “cryptocurrency”, “crypto”, “bitcoin”, “ethereum”, “eth”, “blockchain”
Thereby, we cover the most important crypto-currencies and crypto-keywords for every family office covered in our database. Our crawler analyzed every family office website for at least 60 seconds.
