Komainu Holdings, a regulated cryptocurrency custodian backed by Nomura’s Laser Digital, has secured $75 million in Bitcoin from Blockstream Capital Partners to support its global expansion and integrate advanced crypto technology. The investment aims to adopt Blockstream’s collateral management and tokenization solutions, facilitating global expansion and enhancing technology integration. A Bitcoin treasury will also be established for managing these funds with risk management strategies. This transaction marks the first Series B funded in Bitcoin, highlighting a potential trend in crypto-focused businesses. Proposed initiatives include using Blockstream’s Liquid Network to reduce settlement times and automating tokenized asset support through its AMP technology. Komainu plans to expand in Singapore and Japan initially, with future targets including the US and Switzerland. Additionally, the acquisition of Propine Technologies aims to enhance Komainu’s capabilities in response to increasing client demand in Asia.
