Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ) told investors it has now completed an agreement that adds $200 million to its balance sheet, and, it has received the full principal amount in senior-secured Qualified Medium-Term Notes.
The notes generate an annual coupon of 7.95%. This provides $15.9 million of predictable recurring income each year until December 2030. Valereum will receive the full US$200 million principal at maturity.
James Bannon, chair of Valereum, said the funding supports the company’s growth strategy and potential US listing. It strengthens the firm's capital base and supports the next phase of growth.
Valereum noted that it plans to build regulated digital market infrastructure focused on tokenised assets and banking-as-a-service.
The strategy covers onboarding, asset structuring, issuance, custody, payments, settlement, distribution, and secondary trading. It also includes advisory and business development services linked to assets such as Bitcoin and gold. Investment will focus on four areas - tokenisation and issuance infrastructure, payments and banking services, custody and wallet services, and distribution and advisory activities.
Capital generated from the notes will be deployed into revenue-generating platforms and ecosystem investments. Initial areas include natural resources, real estate, crypto arbitrage, and tokenisation-led strategies.
