SwissChain Holding SA, a Geneva-based holding company, announced today that it has tokenized its participation certificates (“Bons de participation”) under Switzerland’s Distributed Ledger Technology Act (DLT Act/Lex DLT). The initiative applies the country’s legal framework for digital equity to a long-standing corporate instrument, enabling digital administration.
Under the DLT Act, tokenized participation certificates represent genuine corporate equity within SwissChain’s holding structure. The digital format is intended to improve traceability, support quicker settlement processes, and enhance the reliability of corporate recordkeeping. SwissChain emphasized that this announcement reflects intent and remains fully subject to Swiss corporate law.
SwissChain supervises a network of specialized subsidiaries across key areas of digital finance. Without disclosing individual names, these operational activities include trading infrastructure, licensed third-party custody, corporate treasury operations, and technology integration. The structure provides the functional environment required to support tokenized participation certificates within an established corporate framework.
The company also highlighted its Digital Assets Treasury (DAT), where it allocates a capped portion of net proceeds that is always below the 50% threshold to established digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, reflecting a governance-led diversification policy. The DAT is not a market product, portfolio strategy, or vehicle intended for external investors. Its purpose is long-term balance-sheet diversification carried out within Switzerland’s accounting standards.
SwissChain’s initiative aligns with a broader movement in Switzerland to incorporate blockchain infrastructure into traditional corporate processes. The DLT Act provides a clear legal basis for issuing and maintaining equity in digital form, allowing companies to update administrative practices without altering shareholder protections.
