The company wants to give up the retail business in the coming year – probably because the competition is in the Form of Amazon to be far superior. With Medici Overstock has a venture capital subsidiary, which makes targeted investments in DLT-sector. So far, with little success: Medici has generated in the year 2017, a loss of $ 22 million.
