Rothschild Investment Corporation is different and separate from holdings by the Rothschild Banking Family
The news of Rothschild Investment Company owning shares at a cryptocurrency company raises some eye brows. The major reason behind this is that they are often confused with the Rothschild family of bankers. Though with similar names (or rather same name), the two entities have almost nothing to do with each other. The Rothschild Investment Corporation was founded in 1908 by Monroe Rothschild and his brother-in-law Samuel Karger. Then known as Rothschild & Company, it trades and invests in many stocks and companies and continues to do so for about 100 years now. The perceived association has been helpful at times with the company being perceived as yet another branch of the Rothschild family and its influence. This has given rise to a multitude of conspiracy theories associating the Bitcoin sector with the Illuminati.
