Transaction supports Stewards’ Digital Asset Treasury initiative and the company’s diversified financial platform spanning private credit, real assets and digital finance
Stewards Inc., a diversified financial company operating across private credit, real assets and digital finance, announces a $10 million strategic partnership with Dolomite, a decentralized finance (DeFi) technology provider specializing in on-chain liquidity management, lending and tokenized asset infrastructure. The partnership is being executed through a Securities Purchase Agreement, with Dolomite Foundation leading the investment alongside certain accredited investors.
Under the agreement, Stewards and the Dolomite Foundation have executed a $10 million token-for-equity transaction structured as a private PIPE utilizing pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,450,981 shares of common stock at $4.08 per share. The PIPE is divided into 10 equal tranches of $1 million each, with tokens released upon achievement of specified $DOLO 30-day VWAP milestones ranging from $0.10 to $1.00. Tokens will be held in a jointly controlled, multi-signature wallet with a 3-of-4 signature threshold. Shares issued upon exercise are subject to a 12-month lockup and tokens to a 12-month hold period, subject to limited exceptions. Token proceeds will be used for treasury management, collateral, staking and governance within the Dolomite ecosystem, in accordance with the company’s compliance and risk management policies.

The partnership supports the launch of Stewards’ Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) initiative and enables the company to leverage Dolomite’s blockchain-based infrastructure to enhance its funding, settlement and treasury management capabilities through real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and stablecoin liquidity tools. The transaction includes consideration in the form of Dolomite’s native $DOLO tokens, which serve as utility assets within the Dolomite protocol ecosystem. Tokens will be delivered in stages, aligning with performance milestones between both parties. To ensure transactional integrity and transparency, the token consideration is subject to a structured release process administered under secure custody, with milestones aligned to the terms of the partnership.
The collaboration represents the first phase of Stewards’ broader Digital Asset Strategy, designed to embed compliant, technology-enabled finance across the company’s private credit and real asset operations.
“This partnership is more than a technology integration; it’s a strategic step toward building a more efficient and transparent financial architecture,” said Shaun Quin, president of Stewards Inc. “By aligning with a proven infrastructure provider, we can bring the transparency and speed of blockchain into our treasury and lending workflows while maintaining the governance and compliance standards expected of a public company.”
Through the DAT framework, Stewards expects to improve liquidity velocity and capital deployment efficiency. Faster settlement and reduced idle capital are intended to strengthen liquidity, broaden access to institutional funding partners and support the company’s goal of lowering its overall cost of capital. The DAT will also enable Stewards to manage fully reserved, U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins as part of its consolidated treasury operations, with reserves supported primarily by short-term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents.
The partnership also allows Stewards to explore tokenized representations of real-world assets, such as receivable portfolios and income-producing real estate, to facilitate secured financing and participation structures within appropriate regulatory parameters. These efforts are intended to enhance collateral efficiency and balance-sheet flexibility while maintaining adherence to applicable financial and securities laws.
“Our collaboration with Stewards demonstrates how decentralized infrastructure can interoperate with established financial systems in a compliant and scalable way,” said Corey Caplan, founder of Dolomite and chief technology officer at World Liberty Financial. “By integrating Dolomite’s on-chain architecture with Stewards’ private credit and real asset expertise, we’re showing that tokenized finance can deliver real-world value for institutional participants and help define the next evolution of compliant DeFi.”
“The partnership with Dolomite is a foundational element of our long-term digital finance strategy,” said Glen Steward, founder and chief strategy officer of Stewards Inc. “We see digital asset infrastructure not as a separate business line but as a unifying layer that improves liquidity management and capital efficiency across our entire platform.”
The securities offered will not be or have not been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
