- Omnes and Apex Group announced they will issue a tokenized secured debt note backed by Bitcoin hashrate on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum layer‑2 network.
- The Omnes Mining Note (OMN) is an institutional‑grade structured note that offers eligible non‑US investors direct economic exposure to Bitcoin mining production without owning hardware.
- Emmanuel Montero, CEO of Omnes, emphasized that Bitcoin mining creates new coins via protocol issuance, distinguishing the note from yield strategies that merely redistribute existing Bitcoin.
- The note is designed as a regulated investment product that can be transferred on‑chain between approved investors, but specifics on return calculations, liquidity, and risk were not fully disclosed.
- DefiLlama data showed tokenized real‑world assets on public blockchains reached roughly $23.6 billion in March 2026, up 66 % year‑to‑date, highlighting the broader growth context.
Why it matters: The product opens a regulated, on‑chain avenue for institutional investors outside the United States to capture Bitcoin mining revenue without managing hardware, while expanding the tokenized real‑world asset market that grew to $23.6 billion in March 2026. Thus, investors gain exposure to new Bitcoin issuance, and traditional mining operators may see reduced competition for capital.
