Bijan Tehrani is co-founder of Stake.com, a leading crypto-native betting platform that processed over $4.7 billion in gaming volume in 2024. Tehrani also co-founded Easygo, a software development firm specializing in online gaming architecture, and Kick, a livestreaming service designed to compete with Twitch. Stake.com holds partnerships with Formula 1’s Alfa Romeo team, UFC, and Premier League clubs, making it one of the most visible crypto-branded companies in global sports.
In 2025, Tehrani and co-founder Ed Craven acquired a 5.5 percent stake in PointsBet, an ASX-listed sportsbook, further consolidating their influence in hybrid finance and entertainment sectors. Recent reporting lists Tehrani’s net worth at approximately $2.8 billion. Stake’s regulatory model uses a dual entity structure that separates crypto operations from fiat-restricted jurisdictions, allowing token-native operations to scale across Latin America and Asia. Kick surpassed 30 million registered users by mid-2025 and remains one of the few livestreaming platforms with integrated crypto tipping. Tehrani’s companies continue to shape the consumer frontier of crypto, blending DeFi rails with entertainment formats optimized for token velocity.
