Join us in making all the companies you love investable!
Secondaries
Today, only 230 out of more than 500′000 Swiss companies are publicly traded on the stock market. Aktionariat has the technical, legal, and economic ideas to change this and to create liquid markets for thousands of additional Swiss companies, potentially unlocking billions in dormant economic value.
Registration Agreement
This agreement outlines the terms and conditions for buying tokenized shares and is required by the Swiss Code of Obligations Art. 973 d.
Please read the agreement carefully before investing.
Common Shareholder Agreement
This is an agreement between the shareholders consisting of a tag-along clause, a drag-along clause and other clauses. The drag-along can be enforced automatically if enough yes votes were collected.
Please read the agreement carefully before investing.
Our vision is that some day, people will be surprised when they can’t buy the shares of a company they like.
More liquidity in Private Equity:
About Aktionariat AG
Our Vision
Our Mission
To enable investors to invest in a new asset class known as private equity without having to spend money on unnecessary intermediaries.
Business Model
Just think: these days, it takes a lot to buy and trade a share in a private company:
- Find a company that is looking for investors
- Negotiate a price and the terms of investment
- Transfer money to a blocked account
- Have it notarized
Then receive your shares in the form of an extract from the BoD resolution and be registered in the share register. Duration 1-6 months. If you want to sell these shares again there are hardly any possibilities.
With our solution, an investment in an unlisted company takes a maximum of a few minutes. The shares are delivered immediately in the form of cryptographic tokens. A so-called smart contract ensures that both parties receive their goods in the desired quantity.
In addition, the issuing company can provide a certain amount of liquidity (XCHF) so that the shares can be partially sold again. This can create a kind of secondary market. The whole thing works completely without intermediaries, i.e. shares and money (CHF, XCHF, ETH) flow directly between the company and investors and no one pays unnecessary fees.
This opens up a new asset class, especially for retail investors, the non-public companies. Moreover, thanks to the ease of transferability on the blockchain, these types of shares can suddenly be easily traded; they become more liquid and thus more valuable. We make that possible!
Investors can use our hot wallet in the form of an app for free to make investments and manage their shares and other assets without the need of a bank.
Our revenues are mainly generated through a SaaS/Success Fee Model charged to the companies using our tools. There are no transaction fees for either the buyer or the seller, besides the blockchain network costs.
Our Team
We are a team of entrepreneurs, innovators and builders who strongly believe in the value created by the blockchain economy. Read more about us in our website.
About UsCreate A Market For Your Shares.
We provide the tech to do just that.
We hereby invite you to join us on our journey by becoming a fellow shareholder of Aktionariat AG.
We believe in open and free technology. That’s why the source code of all our smart contracts is freely available and why we build on the open infrastructure of the public Ethereum blockchain. We want the shares of our client companies to be freely interactable and not be locked into a proprietary system. Also, we are committed to staying a pure technology provider and to let potential partners supply our clients with auxiliary financial and legal services.
Our solution allows any investor to purchase shares of private companies within less than a minute. All that is needed is an Ethereum wallet, which we also offer. Thanks to our open system architecture, our investment process is best in class. Moreover, our solution does not require any financial intermediaries such as banks and allows a direct, unmanipulable transaction between investor and company. Whether self-custody of the shares in an own wallet or at a bank, we make both possible.
Our market solution is unique in the private equity space and has already increased the liquidity of securities traded in this way in many cases today. However, we still see potential for improvement and are therefore working on an expansion of this solution. At the same time, we are building bridges between the old and new worlds of finance with representatives of Traditional Finance. By the end of 2023, to our knowledge, we were the global leader in tokenizing real shares on a public blockchain.
Client Statements
We can write a lot about our solution but what do our clients think about it?
With Aktionariat, tokenizing our shares and setting up a market was a breeze. While the tools are unique, the real value lies in the team’s ability to respond to customer needs and continually evolve the product. Not for the bores or the procrastinators, Aktionariat is a perfect fit for us!

Since 2017, we have been tirelessly working on how we can further empower the consumer. With the Security Token Offering we finally found a way to go a big step further. Aktionariat provided us with the tools to transform our stakeholders into shareholders while being the first brand to raise CHF 0.5M over a weekend and now continuously raise more through a tradable security token on our own website.

Financials
Aktionariat AG has been founded in June 2020 with 120′000 CHF of capital and ended the year with about 30′000 CHF liquidity left. Details can be found in the unaudited financial report for 2020. We do not expect to reach break-even before the year 2026 and therefore depend on further investments. So far we collected about CHF 5 Mio. in funds soley through our Brokerbot. For the rest of 2024, we will need about 900′000 CHF of additional funding, which we will raise mainly through the sale of newly created shares. Funding can come from three sources: the founders, employees using part of their salaries to buy more shares, and external investors that are adventurous enough to believe in our vision. Our aim is to route all of these transactions through our open market (Brokerbot), giving every buyer the exact same opportunity to buy our shares and creating a high level of market transparency. In case there is not enough public interest in our shares, Luzius is committed to step in.
Key Performance Indicator
We are convinced that transparency is central to building trust with investors. That's why we developed this KPI chart, which shows the progress of our business based on a central metric. Of course, this widget is also available to our customers.
In our case, it shows the monthly volume of transactions in XCHF and ZCHF processed by all Brokerbots in use. This gives a clear indication of the business progress.
