VCI Global announces $2B partnership to establish sovereign-grade infrastructure

VCI Global (VCIG) announced a partnership with a leading digital asset holder to establish a sovereign-grade infrastructure venture backed by 18,000 BTC, valued at over $2.16B at current market levels. Under the joint venture, VCI Global will hold a 70% equity stake and lead commercialization and infrastructure management, while its digital asset partner retains full custody and control of the BTC reserves. Together, the JV will accelerate institutional adoption of crypto by integrating ultra-secure Bitcoin storage, encrypted AI computing, and real-world asset monetization into a unified sovereign-ready ecosystem. The Bitcoin reserves will be securely mirrored in QuantVault, VCIG’s proprietary sovereign encrypted storage platform, which combines hardware-level encryption, air-gapped redundancy, quantum-resilient protocols, and zero-trust architecture. This ensures institutional-grade protection while enabling new monetization models. The JV’s development roadmap includes: BTC-backed real-world assets: issuance of Bitcoin-backed tokenized RWAs. Vault-as-a-Service: sovereign-grade encrypted storage monetized as a yield-generating asset class. Encrypted AI and compute integration: linking vaulting infrastructure with AI GPU-as-a-Service and sovereign computing platforms. Licensing sovereign reserve systems: providing governments and institutions with plug-and-play encrypted reserve infrastructure. These initiatives will establish a Sovereign Reserve Vehicle that transforms sovereign-grade encrypted infrastructure into scalable, revenue-generating assets, meeting the rising global demand for secure, regulation-aligned digital asset frameworks.
