Robinhood has confirmed it does not object to its shares being traded on OKXICE, the tokenized stock trading platform jointly launched by OKX and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. The U.S. brokerage becomes the third firm to explicitly state no objection, following Securitize and BitGo. Per OKXICE’s November 5 disclosure, 56 of the 62 companies initially set to list on the platform have raised objections, accounting for roughly 90%. The six firms that have not publicly objected are all closely tied to the crypto sector, including Robinhood, Securitize, BitGo, Circle, Coinbase, and Strategy. The platform plans to trade tokenized stocks via an Automated Market Maker (AMM) under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) five-year Innovation Exemption framework. Token holders will enjoy the same dividend and voting rights as holders of the underlying stocks, while issuing companies can raise objections within 30 days of receiving notice. (CoinDesk)

Ben Werkman, Chief Investment Officer at Bitcoin treasury firm Strive, wrote that the growth rate of Bitcoin held per share is a key metric for measuring the capital allocation efficiency of treasury companies, but it cannot be evaluated in isolation from financing costs and capital structure. When a company’s stock trades at a premium to its Bitcoin net assets, issuing additional common shares to purchase BTC can increase Bitcoin held per share; repurchasing shares can also boost this metric, though it may deplete cash reserves. Werkman warned that if funds raised from preferred share financing are continuously used to repurchase common shares, it could weaken the asset backing for preferred share dividends and harm the interests of preferred investors.
