The blockchain technology, created in 2008, has been gaining popularity over the years, especially with cryptocurrencies and the development of applications for the financial sector. Its main differential is the ability to allow transactions in blocks accessible from any server, dispensing with financial intermediaries. Thus, the diversity of technology applications has grown in recent years, due to its capacity to generate trust and security in transactions. In this context, the objective of this article was to characterize Brazilian companies that use blockchain technology. For this purpose, a search was conducted on the Crunchbase database, resulting in a final sample of 127 organizations. Data were extracted and tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet for analysis of their characteristics. The results indicated a predominance of the financial sector in the adoption of blockchain technology by Brazilian companies, but also indicated its expansion to other sectors of the economy. The research showed that adoption is not limited to startups or young companies, but also includes traditional ones. The analysis of the companies' income ranges indicated that the majority are small, with incomes below 10 million dollars, but also included companies with incomes exceeding 100 million dollars. In addition, gender inequality was identified in the leadership of companies that adopt blockchain, highlighting the need for policies that encourage female participation in the sector. It is concluded that the adoption of blockchain technology has the potential to transform the business model of Brazilian companies, but there are still challenges to be faced.
