NEW YORK -- February 2, 2022 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- The
OLB Group, Inc.
("OLB," "we," "us," "our," or the "Company"), a
diversified Fintech eCommerce merchant services provider and
Bitcoin cryptocurrency mining enterprise, announced today that the
Company's merchant services annual transaction volume run rate has
reached $1.35 Billion in transaction volume as a result of 28.5
million transactions.
After the Company's acquisition of a portfolio of CBD
merchant accounts in the last quarter, OLB has started the current
year with the highest revenue run rate in the history of the
company. As a result of a diversified merchant base which is not
reliant on large merchants and high dollar transactions, the
Company's eCommerce merchant services business is tracking at an
anticipated annual revenue run rate exceeding $36 Million for 2022.
Since the acquisition, the Company has benefited from onboarding
approximately 150 new merchant accounts per month.
Ronny Yakov, President and CEO of OLB, said, "In 2021, we
began the year with an annualize revenue run rate of approximately
$10 million. Starting this year at a $36 million annualized revenue
run rate is likely to maximize our economies of scale and
contribute to our bottom line."
OLB believes that its merchants in the CBD marketplace will
likely see an increase in transaction volume as the overall market
size grows. According to a February 2021 report by Grandview
Research relating to the current and future CBD market sector, "The
market is estimated to witness a y-o-y growth of approximately 20%
to 23% in the next 5 years. Hemp-derived CBD is
expected to grow at a CAGR of 23.4% post-pandemic owing to
increasing demand from the pharmaceutical sector and rising
awareness among consumers regarding health." (See https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/cannabidiol-cbd-market)
Yakov continued, "Our CBD merchant portfolio acquisition is
expected to add $25 million to our revenue this year and is
anticipated to contribute up to $5 Million in incremental EBITDA.
Adding to our improved financial position by having no outstanding
debt, this should give us the financial flexibility to ramp up our
cryptocurrency-related operations."
