WHAT ARE THE BWALA TOKENS, EXACTLY?

BWALA Token are tokenized profit participation rights ("eigenkapitalähnliche Genussrechte") emitted by Bitwala GmbH. We have partnered with Tokenize.it, the pioneering German platform that enables compliant security token offerings in Germany. Each BWALA token economically equals a traditional share in Bitwala GmbH. From a regulatory perspective, these types of tokenized profit participation rights have been classified as securities ("Wertpapiere") that can be offered publicly in Germany using a brokerage ("Anlagevermittlung") license in compliance with applicable law.

WHAT’S THE UPSIDE OF BWALA TOKENS?

BWALA tokens are priced at the current valuation of Bitwala GmbH, which is €15,000,000 at the time of the first tranche in this round. Later tranches will be sold at different prices, reflecting the company's increasing value. Given the company’s economic success, It’s expected that later rounds will happen at increasing valuations. Of course, we are a startup and, as such, can not guarantee economic success, but with your help and input and our dedication to the cause, we are on a good path. More model calculations and risk/reward documentation are on the Tokenize.it investment page.

WHY SHOULD I BUY THESE TOKENS INSTEAD OF TRADITIONAL SHARES?

Buying “traditional shares” in a startup has historically been accessible only to professional investors or dedicated angels. It involves complex procedures such as convertible loans, notary appointments, significant tax implications, and extensive paperwork. Managing and communicating with many equity holders also requires formal processes and legal setups, making it impractical for startups to handle small investors, further discouraging smaller commitments. By purchasing these tokens, you bypass these hurdles. Tokens keep you informed and allow you to participate in financial events without cumbersome paperwork. Additionally, unlike loans or traditional shares, tokens are transferable, providing more flexibility. Another key benefit is that these tokens are offered significantly lower minimum investments than the substantial amounts typically required for traditional shares. This opens the door for retail investors to get in early before a startup exits or IPOs. And if you so desire, you can still exercise the option to convert your tokens into actual shares!

WHAT’S THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM I CAN INVEST?

The minimum investment is one token, so whatever the company valuation dictates. We’re starting out at 376€ per token. The maximum amount you can invest it €25.000 - if you want to invest more please contact us directly.

DO BWALA TOKEN HOLDERS HAVE VOTING RIGHTS?

BWALA token holders do not have formal voting rights, since the BWALA tokens are structured as profit participation rights. However, token holders have the option to request a 1:1 exchange of their token for traditional shares in Bitwala GmbH with voting rights from time to time. Bitwala is committed to listening to and considering the feedback and needs of token holders, ensuring their voices are heard and valued as important stakeholders.

CAN THE TOKEN BE SOLD BY THE INVESTOR AT ANY TIME?

Yes, the token is generally transferable at any time. The new holder then has all the rights associated with the token. A secondary market via Tokenize.it is planned for 2025.

WHAT HAPPENS TO ISSUED TOKENS IF TOKENIZE.IT STOPS DOING BUSINESS?

Issued tokens and the associated smart contracts continue to exist on the public Ethereum or Gnosis chain irrespective of whether or not Tokenize.it is still in business. The ERC20 standard used by the tokens ensures ongoing compatibility with many common blockchain wallets and exchanges. All rights and responsibilities that arise from the token or its ownership prevail, following the principle, “pacta sunt servanda” (“contracts are binding”). To paint a picture: If you bought a car and the dealership closes, you still own the car. 😊
