As part of an ongoing effort to bring transparency and clarity to the [Algorand](http://algorand.com/) project, we are continuing to publish regular transparency statements on our Algorand holdings and activities.

## Entities and financial relationships:

USV has made its investment in Algorand, Inc., and holds its node agreements with the Algorand Foundation, through parallel entities that invest/divest in lock step. As a result of this structure, we maintain a set of Algo accounts for each of our token-holding entities (e.g., a cold storage account, an account dedicated to the [staking rewards program](http://algorand.foundation/stakingrewards), a trading account, etc.).

USV has signed node agreements which we believe are identical to those of the other early backers. We run a total of 9 nodes.

USV is an investor in other cryptocurrency funds, [as described here](/content/writing/2018/06/investing-in-token-focused-funds/index.html), some of which may have exposure to Algos. At least one USV portfolio company has taken investment from entities in the Algorand ecosystem.

## Transactions:

In Q3 2021, USV sold Algos constituting roughly 5% of our total holdings (including unvested Algos).
