Bitfinex Securities listed five tokenized notes tied to Bitcoin treasury companies on Sept. 1, opening a regulated secondary market for equity-backed digital securities.
The listings mark the first time tokenized versions of securities issued by Bitcoin treasury companies have been offered for secondary trading on a regulated tokenized securities exchange, Bitfinex Securities said in its announcement.
The notes were issued through ORO (II), a Luxembourg umbrella securitization fund managed by SICOS Securities, and are backed by underlying securities held at regulated financial institutions. Noteholders do not directly own shares in the referenced companies — the products function as economic wrappers around traditional securities rather than blockchain-native ownership of corporate equity. Fractional exposure starts at about $1, with trading pairs in USD, Tether's USDT and Bitcoin. The products are regulated by El Salvador's Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales and issued on the Liquid Network. Availability is limited to eligible investors and excludes U.S. persons.
The launch follows a record $50 million tokenized capital raise for metals company Alkemya in August. Bitfinex Securities said total value of assets listed on its venue now exceeds $500 million, and the platform will offer 12 tokenized investment products across 27 trading pairs. Upcoming products include a gold yield fund, Bitcoin mining tokenized private credit notes and a tokenized U.S. money market fund.
The five notes package different forms of public-market Bitcoin exposure into instruments that can trade against both fiat and crypto assets. By including STRC alongside equity-linked notes, Bitfinex Securities is extending tokenization beyond common-share performance into a preferred-security structure. The company said tokenized securities markets have so far been dominated by fixed-income products designed to be held to maturity; the addition of equity-backed products is intended to broaden the market and improve secondary-market liquidity.
The move comes as Strategy and Metaplanet have become closely watched examples of companies using Bitcoin as a treasury asset, while H100 Group and Capital B broaden the geographic range of the offering. The broader pattern is a push to make regulated securities increasingly tradable through tokenized infrastructure rather than limiting blockchain markets to cryptocurrencies. With the new notes, Bitfinex Securities is testing whether investors want fractional, around-the-clock digital access to familiar public companies while preserving regulated custody of the securities that support each instrument.
