Summers to its advisory board and announcing that tech giant Cisco Systems Inc. and former AMR Holdings PLC chief strategy officer Mark Templeton are investing in the company, ends 18 months of intense speculation within the bitcoin community. In March, the company said it had stealthily amassed $116 million in fundraising– a record for the sector.”
