A Yokohama-based infrastructure firm, Pivotal Trend Service (PTS), has announced a significant partnership with Republic, an investment platform known for its focus on digital securities. The collaboration aims to introduce the first digital security from Japan that is backed by Bitcoin mining infrastructure. This innovative financial product will adhere to U.S. securities regulations, specifically Regulation D and Regulation S, allowing international investors a compliant avenue for Bitcoin investment.
The structured investment offering, named Pivotal Mining Note (PMN), is designed to provide a long-term exposure to Bitcoin through professionally managed mining operations. Unlike speculative or synthetic products, PMN leverages real mining infrastructure, allowing investors to accumulate Bitcoin directly based on actual hashpower over a three-year term. This model not only offers investors an opportunity to participate in disciplined Bitcoin accumulation but also combines the advantages of dollar-cost averaging with the reliability of institutional-grade operations.
Key features of the PMN include:
- Disciplined Investment Approach: The three-year structure of PMN is positioned to mitigate volatility and eliminate short-term speculative pressure.
- Telecom-Grade Reliability: PTS brings over 15 years of experience in infrastructure and uptime from Japan’s telecom sector, ensuring the operational integrity of the mining operations.
- Japan-Origin, U.S.-Compliant: The PMN is structured and offered under Reg D and Reg S exemptions, allowing for global access and the possibility of secondary trading.
- Direct Distributions of Bitcoin: Investors will receive the Bitcoin mined directly, ensuring transparency in the accumulation process.
- Stablecoin Subscription Options: Participation is simplified through the use of stablecoins like USDC.
Doer Qu, CEO of PTS, emphasized the innovative nature of PMN, stating, “This is a new class of Bitcoin investment product—grounded in real infrastructure, secured by compliance, and designed for global reach.” He noted that this partnership with Republic symbolizes a shift in how Japan can export financial products, extending beyond traditional stocks and bonds to include blockchain-powered, professionally managed investments.
As PMN approaches its launch, it represents a transformative approach to Bitcoin investing, emphasizing long-term accumulation over quick returns. PTS’s unique telecommunications foundation combined with Republic’s expertise in regulated offerings creates a forward-looking model for accessing infrastructure-backed Bitcoin on a global scale.
PTS, recognized as a leader in telecom and digital asset infrastructure, transitioned to blockchain in 2024, focusing on Bitcoin mining operations. Their commitment is to provide secure and transparent investment avenues as the digital economy continues to evolve.
Republic, headquartered in New York City, is committed to democratizing access to new asset classes. Their platform supports various investment avenues, including venture capital, private equity, and digital securities, backed by a diverse set of institutions and a growing community of investors.
This collaboration between PTS and Republic aims to establish a new paradigm in Bitcoin investment, making it more accessible and reliable for a broader audience, especially in an environment increasingly focused on stability and compliance in digital assets.
