Hemi and Dominari Securities to Develop Digital Asset Treasury and ETF Platforms
The Hemispheres Foundation, an independent organization dedicated to the advancement and adoption of Hemi, the world’s largest programmability layer on Bitcoin, today announced a strategic investment from American Ventures, and an engagement with Dominari Securities, a FINRA-registered broker-dealer and investment bank based in New York (“Dominari”) and a subsidiary of Dominari Holdings, Inc. (DOMH). As part of the deal, Dominari and Hemi will jointly develop regulated digital asset and ETF platforms designed to expand institutional utility of the $HEMI token.
Dominari rose to prominence this year by becoming a key partner and dealmaker for digital asset treasury companies, including American Bitcoin Corp., Tron, Inc., Inc., Dogehash Technologies, Inc., and New America Acquisition I Corp. Dominari quickly expanded its influence through ventures aligned with emerging sectors such as AI, data infrastructure, and digital assets. These transactions positioned Dominari at the forefront of high-profile investment opportunities, marking a transformative year in its corporate trajectory.
American Ventures, through Dominari, co-led an extended growth round of Hemi’s recent $15 million financing, backed by YZi Labs, Breyer Capital, Republic Crypto, and HyperChain Capital. As the largest programmability layer on Bitcoin today, this financing will help accelerate institutional adoption of Bitcoin yield strategies.
By developing a digital asset treasury (DAT) and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the collaboration will serve as a regulated gateway for enterprises, institutions, and sovereign entities seeking exposure to bitcoin-centric markets. The partnership combines Hemi’s vision for programmable bitcoin with Dominari’s deep expertise in capital markets and digital assets, creating the foundation for treasury-grade solutions in yield generation, asset management, and programmable finance.
“Bitcoin and Ethereum are no longer silos; they are increasingly interconnected components of a broader financial network,” said Jeff Garzik, Co-Founder of Hemi and former Bitcoin Core developer. “This partnership with Dominari enables Hemi to take the next step in making digital assets not just programmable, but institutionally deployable.”
“Partnering with Hemi represents a compelling opportunity to bridge traditional finance with the emerging Bitcoin economy,” said Kyle Wool, President of Dominari Holdings, and CEO of Dominari Securities. “We believe Hemi is uniquely positioned to deliver the infrastructure and access that institutional investors demand.”
