Financial technology firm Omnes and global financial services provider Apex Group have announced plans to introduce a new investment product that brings Bitcoin mining exposure onto the blockchain. The companies aim to issue a tokenized secured debt note called the Omnes Mining Note (OMN), which will be deployed on Base, an Ethereum layer-2 network developed by Coinbase.
The OMN is designed as an institutional-grade structured financial instrument backed by Bitcoin hashrate. In simple terms, it allows investors to gain exposure to Bitcoin mining output without having to manage mining hardware, electricity costs, or infrastructure.
How the Tokenized Bitcoin Mining Note Works
The Omnes Mining Note offers a new way for eligible non-US institutional investors to participate in Bitcoin mining economics. Instead of directly mining Bitcoin, investors gain returns linked to hashrate—the computational power used to secure the Bitcoin network and generate new coins.
By structuring the product as a secured debt note, Omnes and Apex combine traditional finance with blockchain technology. The note can be transferred onchain between approved investors, making it more flexible compared to conventional private market instruments.
According to Omnes CEO Emmanuel Montero, this approach transforms Bitcoin mining output into a structured financial product. He emphasized that Bitcoin mining is unique because it creates new Bitcoin through protocol issuance, rather than redistributing existing assets like many yield-based strategies.
While the concept opens up access to mining returns, key details such as how exactly hashrate converts into investor payouts, along with liquidity and risk considerations, have not yet been fully disclosed.
Tokenized Real-World Assets Continue to Grow
The launch of OMN comes at a time when tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are seeing rapid growth. Data from DefiLlama shows that the total value of tokenized RWAs on public blockchains has surpassed $23 billion in 2026, reflecting a sharp increase in adoption.
This trend highlights growing institutional interest in combining traditional financial products with blockchain infrastructure. By bringing Bitcoin mining exposure into a tokenized format, Omnes and Apex are contributing to the broader shift toward onchain financial instruments that offer transparency, programmability, and easier transferability.
