ALKEMYA METACORE SCSp SECURES INITIAL USD 50 MILLION INVESTMENT AHEAD OF LISTING OF TOKENISED EQUITY NICKEL OFFERING
Alkemya Luxembourg S.à.r.l. (“Alkemya”), the sponsor, is pleased to announce that Alkemya Metacore SCSp has raised USD 50 million before launch. The money is for its precision industrial nickel wire business, backed by Class 1 nickel wire.
It is also announcing the sale of more ALKN tokens in a new tranche (the “Token”) at USD 1.0 per Token.
Offer details
- Arranger: Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd
- Venue: Bitfinex Securities
- Who can invest: big firms and professional investors
- Closing date: 15 October 2026
Our news desk also covered this raise; see Bitfinex Securities opens $50M raise for tokenized nickel platform.
The Tokens are issued by Alkemya Metacore SCSp (“Alkemya Metacore”), a special limited partnership based in Luxembourg. It is listed as an Issuer with CNAD (National Commission of Digital Assets) in El Salvador.
The nickel wire asset
Alkemya Metacore is an investment and operating firm based in Luxembourg. It works on making, selling and funding high-tech metals.
It owns about 7 million metres of 99.99% ultra-pure nickel wire with 0.025 mm diameter. An outside party has checked the wire and valued it at about USD 1.64 billion. The wire is held by a custody firm in Lugano, Switzerland.
How the money will be used
Alkemya will use part of the first raise, plus money from later tranches, to fund Alkemya Metacore. The plan is to turn the pure wire into mesh products for fast-growing uses in seven sectors:
- EMI shielding
- Aerospace and defence
- Marine and desalination
- Power and industrials
- Semiconductors
- Green hydrogen
- Rare/precious metals recovery
The raise came before trading opens to the wider market. It is a big step for the offer. It shows that buyers trust both the pure nickel behind it and the way the deal is set up.
The Token gives investors a stake backed by a real asset. It is also a bet on clean energy and tech that keeps electronics safe.
Listing the Token on Bitfinex Securities will let Alkemya use tokens to reach more investors around the world. It will also trade on a regulated venue that is open 24/7. To compare other ways to buy tokenised shares, see our guide on where to buy tokenized stocks.
The Tokens aim to provide long-term investment value linked to real-world applications and technology.
How cash is paid out
Cash payouts follow a strict waterfall, in this order:
- First, investor capital is returned in full.
- Next, investors receive cumulative distributions equal to a 6% per annum compound interest calculated annually (i.e., the preferred return) on the investor capital at any time outstanding, from the date of payment of the same up to the date of final repayment of the invested capital.
- Then, an additional 80/20 profit split with a carry partner in favour of Token holders from the commercial business.
What the partners said
Carlo Guido Della Peruta, Manager of the General Partner of Alkemya Metacore, commented: “Securing this initial investment is a significant milestone for Alkemya and validates both the quality of our asset and the strength of our commercialisation strategy.
We chose to list on Bitfinex Securities because tokenisation offers us access to a genuinely global investor base within a regulated framework, and because it reflects the innovative approach we are taking across all aspects of our business.
This raise will allow us to begin transforming our nickel wire asset into high-value engineered products serving some of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy, and we look forward to welcoming further investors as the listing progresses.”
Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations at Bitfinex Securities, commented: “Bitfinex Securities exists to connect exciting investment opportunities with a broader and deeper investor base, giving more people access to investments that were previously out of reach and giving businesses access to a wider pool of capital.
Alkemya Metacore will represent yet another example of how we’re using blockchain technology to bring previously inaccessible asset classes to market within stringent regulatory guardrails, and Alkemya’s initial $50 million capital raise is a sign of appetite for this exciting opportunity.”
Arvinder Sood, CEO and Director at Hanover Square Capital (UK) Ltd, said: “Hanover Square Capital is delighted to announce this transaction in collaboration with Bitfinex Securities and its successful pre-launch close of USD 50 million investment,
which not only underscores the evolving direction of global capital markets but also establishes a compelling foundation for a groundbreaking transaction with the launch of ALKN tokens.
This milestone reflects a broader structural shift in how financial assets are created, accessed, and exchanged, as traditional frameworks increasingly converge with digital innovation.
By embracing tokenised equity, the transaction highlights a more efficient, transparent, and accessible model for capital formation, one that is better aligned with the demands of modern investors and issuers alike, with the capacity to trade on a peer-to-peer basis.
Hanover Square Capital believes that this transaction not only validates that trajectory but also signals the growing importance of blockchain-enabled solutions in redefining how assets are issued, managed, and traded on a global scale.”
