Ledger is the account of Ledger SAS, a French crypto hardware wallet manufacturer and digital asset security company. Ledger SAS was co-founded in 2014 by eight co-founders, including Éric Larchevêque, David Balland, Nicolas Bacca, Joël Pobeda, and Thomas France, with backgrounds in embedded security, cryptocurrencies, and entrepreneurship. Pascal Gauthier serves as Chairman and CEO. Ledger's Twitter Score is 605 out of 1000 (an Excellent rating) as of July 2026, ranking #186 (top 0.1%) out of 389,201 accounts tracked.
Ledger raised a $380 million Series C in June 2021, led by 10T Holdings, at a valuation of more than $1.5 billion, and followed with a Series C extension of approximately $109 million in March 2023 at a €1.3 billion valuation. Other backers include Digital Currency Group, Animoca Brands, Financière Agache (Groupe Arnault), Cathay Innovation, Bpifrance, and others. Ledger Enterprise, the company's institutional offering, claims its technology secures approximately 20% of the world's crypto assets and has operated since 2019. In January 2026, Ledger was reported to be pursuing a NYSE IPO at a valuation above $4 billion, having engaged Goldman Sachs, Jefferies, and Barclays as advisers; in May 2026, the company paused those plans citing market volatility, with no draft S-1 having been filed with the SEC prior to the pause. Ledger's tracked holdings include BOB, Syndicate, Safe.eth, Starton and Coinpanion.
Ledger has been at the center of several significant events. In June 2020, a data breach exposed over one million customer records, including email addresses, names, physical addresses, and phone numbers; the data was publicly dumped in December 2020 and used in subsequent phishing attacks. In October 2024, France's data protection authority CNIL fined the company €750,000 for failures to protect customer personal data stemming from the breach. A class action lawsuit filed in 2021 alleging a cover-up of the breach was dismissed by a California court in November 2021 for lack of jurisdiction. In January 2026, customer data was exposed through a breach at third-party payment processor Global-e, a partner of Ledger. In May 2023, Ledger announced Ledger Recover, an optional $9.99/month seed-phrase backup service splitting and encrypting the seed phrase across three custodians; the announcement triggered widespread community backlash over concerns that private keys could leave the device. Ledger Recover officially launched in October 2023, with CEO Pascal Gauthier committing to open-source the code following the backlash. In January 2025, co-founder David Balland and his wife were kidnapped by individuals demanding a cryptocurrency ransom; French special forces (GIGN) rescued both victims, ten suspects were arrested, and nearly all cryptocurrency paid as partial ransom was traced and seized.
