Q: How does Minestarters (the business) increase in value, beyond the token?
A: Minestarters owns the core infrastructure—platform, treasury, deal pipeline, and a significant token portion. Similar to BlackRock with its ETFs, it generates fees and holds tokens that appreciate over time. Power Metal is to hold up to 49% of this undiluted engine.
Q: If token holders benefit from rising asset values, what does Minestarters own?
A: Minestarters retains 60–80% of tokens in its treasury initially, plus 5–10% fees per deal and royalties/equity stakes. As the portfolio grows, the treasury and holdings increase in value, benefiting Power Metal's Minestarters stake alongside token holders.
Q: What would be a typical mining investment example?
A: A £2M investment by Minestarters for 70% equity in a project that is later sold for £20M would yield: £6M to the vendor (30%) and £14M to Minestarters (70%). Returns are typically split between the treasury (for tokens) and income (for Minestarters and therefore Power Metal), ensuring value for all stakeholders.
Q: Why burn tokens?
A: Burning tokens reduces supply, increasing the net asset value per remaining token. This enhances token price, including Minestarters' holdings, thereby boosting the Minestarters treasury value and Power Metal's stake, benefiting both parties.
Q: What happens when all tokens are issued?
A: The token supply is capped (e.g., 100M tokens at £5 = £500M Fully Diluted Value). Minestarters may hold 30M (£150M value) and continues generating fee revenue from new deals, supporting ongoing business growth.
Q: Does Token market cap = Minestarters valuation?
A: No—the market cap reflects circulating tokens only. Minestarters' value includes token holdings, project equity/royalties, and fees/platform revenue. It could be valued for IPO, RTO, or acquisition on this basis, with Power Metal's stake being strategic.
Summary: Minestarters increases value through its token treasury, deal fees, equity/royalties, and a robust platform akin to a "BlackRock for mining."
