Bitfinex Securities, the regulated tokenized investment platform associated with the Bitfinex crypto exchange, has listed five tokenized notes that give eligible investors synthetic exposure to publicly traded Bitcoin treasury companies, including Strategy, Metaplanet, Sweden’s H100 Group and France’s Capital B.
The platform also listed a sixth product tracking Strategy’s variable-rate perpetual preferred stock, STRC, expanding a lineup that now covers both common equity performance and preferred instruments tied to the largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world.
According to the company’s announcement, this is the first time such products have been made available for secondary trading on a regulated tokenized securities exchange. The launch pushes Bitfinex Securities deeper into the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure, where tokenized wrappers around conventional securities are becoming one of the fastest-growing corners of the digital asset market.
How the notes are structured
The five notes were issued through ORO (II), a Luxembourg umbrella securitization fund managed by SICOS Securities. Bitfinex Securities said each note tracks the economic performance of the underlying shares, which are held with regulated financial institutions, but the products do not grant investors direct ownership of the corresponding company stock. Holders gain price exposure without the voting rights or legal title that come with owning the equities themselves.
Fractional exposure starts from roughly 1 USD, a threshold designed to lower the barrier to entry compared with buying full shares of companies like Strategy and Metaplanet, which trade at substantial premiums on Nasdaq and the Tokyo Stock Exchange respectively. The notes trade against the US dollar, Tether’s USDt stablecoin and Bitcoin, letting crypto-native users settle positions without converting back to fiat rails.
Availability is restricted to eligible investors, and the offering explicitly excludes US persons, a familiar constraint for tokenized securities platforms navigating American regulatory territory.
A growing tokenized asset shelf
The listing extends a busy stretch for Bitfinex Securities. In August, the platform completed a record 50 million USD tokenized capital raise for metals company Alkemya, backed by a physical nickel stockpile, in what it described as its largest tokenized raise to date. With the new notes on board, the company says the total value of assets listed on the platform now exceeds 500 million USD.
The expansion also follows Bitfinex’s revival of its tokenized bond program on Bitcoin’s Liquid Network, a move aimed at crypto-native yield seekers who want fixed-income style instruments denominated in BTC rather than fiat currency.
Why Bitcoin treasury exposure is in demand
The tokenized notes arrive amid surging institutional appetite for Bitcoin treasury companies. Strategy holds more than 845,000 BTC following its first corporate purchase since June, a 370 million USD acquisition disclosed at the end of August. Metaplanet has built Japan’s largest corporate Bitcoin stash above 35,000 BTC, while H100 Group and Capital B represent a newer wave of European treasury firms adding BTC to their balance sheets.
Synthetic exposure products could broaden that demand further. Investors in jurisdictions where accessing US or Japanese equities is cumbersome, or who prefer holding collateral in stablecoins and Bitcoin, can now gain leveraged-free price exposure through a single regulated venue. The STRC note in particular gives global investors a way to trade the preferred instrument that has become one of the most closely watched corporate crypto securities since its mid-2025 debut.
The broader tokenization race
Bitfinex Securities is not alone in racing to tokenize real-world assets. The London Stock Exchange announced a partnership with Kraken parent Payward to deliver tokenized UK stocks, while banks including Bank of America, Citi and Goldman Sachs are preparing a joint stablecoin venture that could underpin future settlement of digital securities. Data from RWA.xyz tracks the tokenized asset market in the billions of USD and growing at double-digit monthly rates.
Against that backdrop, the new listings position Bitfinex Securities as an early mover in secondary trading of tokenized equities and notes, rather than merely a primary issuance venue. If Bitcoin treasury mania continues, demand for fractional, crypto-settled wrappers around firms like Strategy and Metaplanet is likely to grow with it.
For now, the products remain limited to non-US eligible investors, and the notes’ fortunes will rise and fall with the underlying shares. But the listing marks another step in the blending of corporate equity exposure with blockchain-native trading infrastructure, a trend that has moved from experiment to mainstream financial infrastructure in less than two years.
Investors should note that synthetic notes carry counterparty and structural risks distinct from owning the underlying shares, including dependence on the issuer vehicle and the custodial arrangements backing the securities. As with any early-stage financial product, eligibility restrictions and liquidity conditions apply.
synthetic exposure, no voting rights, no legal title, entry from 1 usd. basically a luxembourg wrapped tracker on strategy and metaplanet
But it settles in USDt and BTC, which is the point for anyone already onchain. Buying Metaplanet through the Tokyo exchange is a pain otherwise.
a tokenized note on STRC of all things. strategy preferred perpetuals listed on a regulated exchange before most brokers even touch the underlying lol
synthetic exposure to treasury cos via tokenized notes, we really came full circle from bitcoin fixes this to leveraged paper bets on leveraged paper bets
and yet the 1 usd entry plus USDt settlement means actual retail will lap it up anyway. leveraged paper bets on leveraged paper bets, and the queue forms to the left
The STRC preferred note is the interesting one honestly. You get the perpetual yield angle on Strategy without the common equity drawdowns.
Agreed on the STRC note being the interesting one, but holders still get zero legal title. It is price exposure with extra steps if Strategy ever wobbles.
hard agree on STRC being the smarter structure, metaplanet and H100 trading at insane NAV premiums makes the common equity notes a rough sell rn
ORO II is a luxembourg securitization vehicle with the shares held at regulated custodians, so the wrapper at least is real. my question is who is actually making the market on secondary for these
