Bitbond Launches First German Security Token Offering (STO) 🚀

[Bitbond-support]

At Bitbond we are running the first German Security Token Offering with an EU compliant securities prospectus. The offering is a tokenized bond, the prospectus has been approved by the German financial regulator BaFin.

The Bitbond Token (BB1) has a nominal value of EUR 1 and can be purchased by interested investors (except US and Canadian citizens). The tokens enable investors to participate in the success of the blockchain company and in the loans brokered by Bitbond.

The website is www.bitbondsto.com

Token holders receive two types of coupons:

• Fixed coupon of 4% per year, paid out quarterly (i.e. 4x 1%)
• Variable coupon which represents 60% of the profits of our investments, paid out once per year after audited financial statements were published

The Bitbond Token’s subscription date is 11.03.2019 – save the date!

Investors who subscribe early will get a discount on their investment.

The applied discounts change either after the time period for a discount tier is over or when the maximum investment amount of a discount tier has been committed by token investors.

If you want to take advantage of the discounts, we encourage you to invest on March 11th, 2019 as discounts will be allocated on a first come first serve basis.

See the discount tiers:

The proceeds from the Bitbond STO serve two purposes:

• Bitbond will use them for its core business of lending to business owners and freelancers globally.
  
• Bitbond is further developing its global platform for private loans. This also includes the advancement of innovations in the payments and scoring area. In doing so, the Berlin Fintech company promotes financial inclusion around the globe.

Very exciting. This sets an amazing precedent for crypto platforms in Europe!

[Iced]

Curious to see where this might go! :-)

She's not going anywhere.
Yhey plan to sell bonds-which will be designed for 10 years and will bring the owners 1% per quarter-I do not think that such interest will be attractive to investors.
However-wait and see what happens.

I agree with you, I think 1% interest per quarter or 4% per year is a relatively small interest, while bank interest (deposits) in my country at this time is 5-6% per year. I hope the team will increase their interest to attract investors.

[elda34b]

4% year interest is relatively small. I also doubt the majority of the investor want to get coupon. On top of that, the buy-back is only happening after 10 years, so this investment looks very long-term. As mentioned by others, I think every investor should get different interest return, maybe minimum 4% while maximum is 12%, based on how much they contributed in the STO.

Bitbond look good look like this project is running through all regulatory compliance and roadmap of the project look futuristic

[konstant111]

small rate, but I would first look like it will look before you take any statements about the project, what will come reward investors?

There are couple of things to keep in mind. The first is that the token holder receives quarterly AND yearly payouts. The quarterly fixed coupon equals 1%x4 = 4% per annum; while the yearly payout is determined by the performance of the loans. As an example, we could say that the yearly return is 6% + 4% from the fixed coupon = 10% per year over 10 years. Then think about how Bitbond will buy the tokens back at the original price and you have a very attractive proposition.

Also keep in mind that the BB1 token will be tradeable immediately thanks to the Stellar blockchain. This means that you can easily sell your BB1 tokens if you believe the bears are turning into bulls. For crypto investors who have lost money in 2018 because of the downturn, BB1 offers a kind of stable coin on steroids, where the price is pretty much fixed and you even receive payouts on a regular basis.

I'm not sure I understand. Could you clarify?

Thanks, we're very excited about it

I posted this answer earlier but I think it's relevant to your comment as well

Thanks, we're very happy with the reception so far!

Really interesting project - I am following very closely!

[saharovvv]

Are you currently working only in Germany or in some other countries? And another question: do you give loans in fiat currency or in crypto currency?

                                                                                                                 It means BB1 will not fluctuate in price on exchanges? The face value is 1 Euro. And its price remains 1Euro until the team buys all tokens after 10 years?
