Royalty Management Holding Corporation has agreed to participate in an investment round for SAGINT Inc., a technology company developing blockchain-based solutions for commodity traceability. The investment aims to support SAGINT's deployment of tokenization technology that creates verifiable digital warehouse receipts and traceable digital assets, with initial focus on critical and rare earth minerals. Based in Chicago, SAGINT has developed a platform delivering tokenization, lifecycle management, and decentralized trading with real-time settlement, regulatory compliance, and transparent audit trails. The solution allows commodity purchasers to ensure resources are not sourced from conflict regions or countries of concern.

Thomas Sauve, Chief Executive Officer of Royalty Management, noted that increased attention on rare earth minerals produced outside China has created demand for verification methods. The tokenization that SAGINT has developed provides a much-needed solution to allow traceability of elements from the source. SAGINT can allow end users to verify where elements have been sourced, thereby giving comfort and reliability to industry and government users. Royalty Management will work with SAGINT to deploy its proprietary platform and verifiable commodity source tracking to its own portfolio companies. This integration aims to help those companies differentiate their operations and provide enhanced services to customers and buyers. The investment represents another example of RMCO leveraging its portfolio companies to add value across its platform.
Jacob Clayton, Chief Executive Officer of SAGINT Inc., expressed enthusiasm about the partnership. Royalty Management's strategic focus on building a high-quality portfolio of resource royalties perfectly aligns with SAGINT's mission to deliver secure, transparent, and compliant digital asset solutions. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to innovation and long-term value creation in the critical minerals and resource sectors. The investment is conditional upon successful completion of due diligence efforts and is expected to occur in early 2026. Royalty Management will participate alongside other private equity investors in SAGINT's next capital investment round.

This development comes amid growing concerns about supply chain resilience for critical minerals used in various technologies. The blockchain-based approach addresses both traceability requirements and marketability concerns by creating secure, tradable digital tokens that represent tangible commodity assets. The technology enables transparent audit trails while maintaining compliance with U.S. regulatory standards. The partnership signifies a strategic move to address geopolitical and ethical sourcing challenges in the mineral supply chain through technological innovation. By implementing verifiable tracking systems, companies can demonstrate responsible sourcing practices to regulators and consumers alike. This investment highlights the increasing convergence of traditional resource management with emerging digital technologies to solve complex supply chain problems.
