Nativo Resources LON:NTVO introduces a Digital Asset Treasury Policy to incorporate bitcoin
Bitcoin to complement gold strategy as part of long-term treasury reserve approach
Institutional-grade custody to be managed by Copper.co and Nemean Services
Nativo Resources Plc LON:NTVO, a company listed on the FTSE AIM UK 50 INDEX, has announced a strategic shift in its financial policy through the adoption of a Digital Asset Treasury Policy. The move will enable the mining group to allocate a portion of free cash flow and proceeds from future capital raises into bitcoin.
The initiative is set to work alongside the company's primary operations in the gold mining sector. Nativo is preparing to recommence activities at the Tesoro Gold Concession in Peru, with objectives focused on sustainable gold production through mining, ore processing, and recovery from tailings. The company has already secured or optioned several assets, identifying further operational scale-up opportunities in the region.
Diversified Reserve Asset Approach
Under the newly outlined policy, bitcoin will be integrated as a treasury reserve asset, designed to operate in parallel with the company’s gold holdings. Nativo’s board stated that this dual approach reflects a broader view on preserving value across changing macroeconomic conditions. Bitcoin, known for its decentralized structure and capped supply, is viewed by the company as a digital counterpart to gold’s historically established role in wealth preservation.
The firm has confirmed a partnership with Copper.co for the secure, institutional-grade custody of digital assets. Additionally, digital asset security services will be supported by Nemean Services to ensure robust safeguarding practices are in place.
Treasury Allocation Parameters
The implementation of bitcoin within the company’s treasury will be subject to ongoing operational cash flow needs and capital allocation frameworks. Nativo indicated that while the policy introduces digital exposure, its financial decisions will remain aligned with maintaining adequate liquidity for core business functions.
The company continues to position itself firmly in the mining sector, emphasizing that gold remains the cornerstone of its revenue strategy. Bitcoin’s role is intended to strengthen the treasury without overshadowing primary activities. No shift in mining priorities has been announced.
Outlook within a Changing Market Landscape
Nativo’s decision reflects a broader trend among resource companies seeking enhanced treasury resilience amid global financial developments. While traditional stores of value remain foundational, the inclusion of digital assets is being evaluated across various sectors as part of adaptive treasury planning.
Trading under the ticker LON:NTVO on the London Stock Exchange, Nativo is part of the broader FTSE AIM UK 50 INDEX. The company’s approach highlights its focus on both physical and digital asset strategies in line with current financial landscapes.
Despite acknowledging structural and operational complexities within digital asset management, the company has moved forward with policy integration, ensuring compliance frameworks and third-party custody partnerships are well-established.
As the business continues to progress its gold initiatives in Peru, the additional treasury allocation mechanism is expected to remain secondary to core operations, supporting the company’s strategic intent without disrupting its foundational mining focus.
