(OTCQX: OSTBP), an online retailer and advancer of blockchain technology, has qualified to trade its Voting Series B Preferred shares on the OTCQX® Best Market. Overstock.com upgraded the Series B Preferred shares to OTCQX from the OTCQB® Venture Market.    

Overstock.com's Series B Preferred shares begin trading today on OTCQX under the symbol "OSTBP."  U.S. investors can find current financial disclosures and Real-Time Level 2 quotes for the company on www.otcmarkets.com.  Overstock.com's Common Stock continues to be listed on the NASDAQ exchange.

"We are pleased to welcome Overstock.com's Series B Preferred Shares to the OTCQX market," said Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group. "Trading on OTCQX will allow Overstock.com to provide investors a convenient method to trade its Series B Preferred Shares and access the company's news and financial disclosures."

"In December 2016, Overstock became the first firm in history to issue a blockchain-based SEC-registered public security. For various legal reasons, we had to simultaneously offer a conventional (i.e. non-blockchain based) version of this security.  Having the non-blockchain component of Overstock's Series B Preferred Stock trading on OTCQX will provide additional visibility," said Overstock.com founder and CEO Patrick Byrne. "OTC Market Group's premier securities market is the best way to achieve that extra exposure."
