What Blockchain Intelligence Group does

Blockchain Intelligence Group (BIG) is a Vancouver-based blockchain analytics and cryptocurrency investigation software provider, operating since 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BIGG Digital Assets Inc. (CSE-listed). The company sells enterprise and agency subscriptions of its flagship platform QLUE, which performs blockchain forensic analysis, visual transaction mapping, address clustering, and graph-based tracing across 18 blockchains and millions of assets. QLUE is complemented by three modules: BitRank for real-time cryptocurrency AML compliance and risk scoring, Address Watch for transaction monitoring alerts on user-defined criteria, and Entity Explorer for expert-curated risk and compliance reports on virtual asset service providers.

The company's core technology combines open-source blockchain data with in-house proprietary algorithms and advanced heuristics to de-anonymize wallet activity, producing attribution outputs that have been admitted as evidence and used to set case-law precedent in multiple jurisdictions. Primary customers are law enforcement agencies (US federal and state, Argentine Federal Police, South African forensic investigators), government and public-sector bodies, virtual asset service providers, financial institutions (Clear Bank, Sygnum), and a growing base of law firms and private crypto investigators. Distribution is driven by direct enterprise field sales with a consultative "Request a Demo" model, supplemented by technology-integration partnerships (AlphaPoint for embedded transaction risk scoring, Blockpliance for US/Latin America expansion), conference presence, and content-led demand generation.

Commercially, BIG reported record FY2025 revenue of $2.27M CAD at a 90% gross margin under an annual subscription model with quote-based pricing. The parent entity, BIGG Digital Assets Inc., reported consolidated FY2025 revenue of $12.86M CAD (+3% year-over-year) across BIG, the Netcoins retail crypto trading platform, and TerraZero, with no corporate debt and $4.1M CAD in free working capital following resolution of a CRA tax reassessment. Strategic priorities articulated for the period include scaling the BIG subscription business and expanding the U.S./Latin American footprint via the February 2025 Blockpliance acquisition.
