SINGAPORE, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Davis Commodities Limited (Nasdaq: DTCK), a Singapore-based leader in agricultural commodities trading, has unveiled a strategic plan to integrate blockchain technology and digital assets into its business operations. The company has announced the upcoming launch of a digital asset treasury management strategy alongside a real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform, highlighting its intent to revolutionize commodity finance and unlock significant growth opportunities in the global digital economy.

The company has outlined a $30 million fundraising plan and, upon successful completion, intends to deploy a dual-pronged strategy designed to drive innovation and revenue growth. The initiative aligns with Davis Commodities’ vision to reshape traditional commodity trading by leveraging the transparency, efficiency, and security of blockchain technology. The following provides more detailed information about the plan.

Blockchain-Powered Agricultural Tokenization Platform

Up to 50% of the funds will be invested in the development of a blockchain-powered platform designed to tokenize agricultural commodities. The platform will initially focus on transforming key physical commodities, such as sugar, rice, and edible oils, into tokenized, tradeable digital assets.

Key Features of the Tokenization Platform:

  1. Smart Contract-Based Settlement : Automated transactions via smart contracts reduce reliance on intermediaries, speeding up settlement times and lowering costs.
  2. On-Chain Supply Chain Tracking : Blockchain’s immutable ledger ensures end-to-end transparency of the commodities’ supply chain, enhancing counterparty confidence.
  3. Cross-Border Efficiency : The platform facilitates near-instant cross-border settlements, addressing time and cost inefficiencies in traditional trade finance.
  4. Tokenized Collateralization : Institutional lenders can collateralize tokenized commodities, unlocking liquidity for participants within the ecosystem.

According to a report from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the global RWA tokenization market is projected to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. Davis Commodities’ early entry into this space positions it as a pioneer capable of capitalizing on the rapidly growing demand for tokenized real-world assets.

Benefits of the Platform:

  • Fractional Ownership : Tokenization enables investors to own fractions of high-value agricultural commodities, democratizing access to the asset class.
  • Programmable Yield Structures : Blockchain technology allows for the creation of programmable yield instruments, attracting institutional interest from crypto funds, alternative asset managers, and liquidity providers.
  • Cost Reduction : By reducing transaction fees and manual processes, the platform increases efficiency for all stakeholders.

Davis Commodities anticipates that the platform will drive significant institutional adoption, as it offers a blockchain-native solution for real-world yield instruments, enabling global liquidity providers to participate in agricultural finance.

Digital Treasury Allocation into Bitcoin Reserves

As part of its digital asset treasury strategy, Davis Commodities will allocate up to 40% of its funds to Bitcoin reserves, integrating the leading cryptocurrency into its balance sheet as a strategic treasury asset.

Key Mechanisms of the Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

  1. Diversification of Asset Base :
    By incorporating Bitcoin, often referred to as "digital gold," Davis Commodities enhances its asset portfolio with a store of value that is independent of traditional market dynamics.
  2. Market-Driven Returns :
    The company anticipates that Bitcoin reserves could generate measurable returns over the next 36 months, contingent on market conditions and further adoption of digital assets globally.
  3. Liquidity Optimization :
    Bitcoin’s global liquidity and 24/7 trading accessibility add flexibility to the company’s treasury management, supporting operational resiliency and strategic growth initiatives. The company has the opportunity to utilize various financial tools, such as spot trading, futures, or ETFs , depending on market conditions. This flexibility allows for strategic adjustments to capture returns while managing risk.
  4. Risk Mitigation Mechanisms :
    To avoid excessive negative impacts from sudden Bitcoin price drops, appropriate mechanisms will be implemented. These may include hedging strategies and diversification to minimize downside risks.
  5. Transaction and Liquidity Support :
    If necessary, Bitcoin reserves can be used for transactions or liquidated to support other investment opportunities, ensuring operational agility and access to capital when needed. Holding Bitcoin as part of the company’s reserves strengthens confidence in the Tokenization Platform , showcasing Davis Commodities’ commitment to blockchain and digital assets as part of its long-term strategy.

Through this treasury allocation, Davis Commodities aims to position itself as a forward-thinking enterprise capable of navigating the evolving financial landscape while maintaining financial stability.

Additional Investments in Technology and Security

The remaining 10% of the funds will be allocated to:

  • Blockchain Infrastructure : Building and maintaining the platform’s technological foundation to ensure scalability and operational efficiency.
  • Cybersecurity : Implementing advanced security measures to protect digital assets, smart contracts, and user data.
  • Regulatory Compliance : Ensuring full alignment with international regulatory frameworks governing digital assets and tokenized platforms.

These investments will safeguard the platform’s long-term viability and ensure the seamless integration of blockchain technology into Davis Commodities’ core operations. Based on the above framework, the company will take further steps in execution and make adjustments in response to evolving economic and technological changes to achieve its growth objectives.

Davis Commodities projects that its combined digital treasury strategy and RWA tokenization platform will unlock substantial revenue growth within 24 months of launch. The company’s focus on tokenized asset liquidity, cost efficiencies, and expanded capital market access underscores its commitment to redefining commodity finance for the digital age.
