About Blake Alma
Founder of CoinHub Media
Blake Alma, the young entrepreneur and founder of CoinHub Media, has always had a passion for coin collecting. On January 22, 2020, inspired by his mother, Blake transformed his passion into a platform, CoinHub, initially launched via TikTok and Instagram. Blake's engaging content, focusing on modern U.S. coin errors and their values, quickly gained traction. Within the first month, he accumulated more than 20,000 followers and 2 million video views on TikTok.
Despite this initial success, Blake decided to take a brief hiatus from content production to attend to personal matters. However, he returned with a bang in August 2020 with a video about a Coca-Cola bottle cap coin produced in Fiji. This unique content earned over a quarter-million views and tripled his follower count to 60,000. By October, CoinHub had expanded to over 300,000 followers and 75 million video views on TikTok.
In 2022, CoinHub took a significant leap forward. Blake signed a partnership deal with WhatNot Inc., to promote their new coin auctioning platform in June. This partnership came amidst the surge in livestream shopping, further propelling CoinHub's growth. As of today, CoinHub boasts more than 1.7 million followers and over 200 million video views across multiple platforms:
TikTok (950,000+)
Instagram (425,000+)
Facebook (350,000+)
Whatnot (40,000+)
Recognizing the need for an encompassing entity, Blake incorporated CoinHub under the new name CoinHub Media in November 2022, moving the company to Lebanon, Ohio.
Despite his immense achievements, including recognition in media outlets like the New York Post and Fox Business, Blake remains humble. He sees himself as a lifelong learner in the coin industry, ever eager to expand his knowledge. His strong Christian faith has guided him throughout his journey, and he credits the coin collecting community and his faith in God for his success.
Now, as the best-selling author of "The CoinHub: An Ultimate Guide to Coin Errors," Blake continues to serve the coin collecting community through CoinHub Media, creating a sense of unity within the industry. He looks forward to his continued journey in the fascinating world of coin collecting, always striving to learn, grow, and contribute more to this captivating field.
