Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey haven’t partnered for the first time
This time Jay-Z and Jack Dorsey have joined hands to launch a Bitcoin Academy. And this isn’t the first time that both of them are working together on something big. Back in 2021, Dorsey’s Block also acquired Jay Z’s streaming music service- Tidal. This was then prosed to be used as a vehicle for NFT distribution. Also, they both have been investing in blockchain start-ups including Alchemy which was launched in 2021 as an endowment for funding Bitcoin development in India and Africa.
