SANTA MONICA, CA, March 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Millennium Blockchain Inc. (OTC:MBLC), a holding company focused on blockchain technologies and crypto-assets in financial markets, healthcare, crypto-mining and high-technology sectors, today announced an investment in BurstIQ, Inc., a leading healthcare blockchain data company.

“BurstIQ is changing the healthcare system for the better.
