SINGAPORE - Davis Commodities Limited (NASDAQ:DTCK), currently valued at $23.5 million in market capitalization, announced a $30 million strategic plan to integrate blockchain technology and digital assets into its operations, according to a press release issued Friday. According to InvestingPro data, the company has shown significant volatility, with the stock recording an 18% gain in the past week despite challenging fundamentals.
The Singapore-based agricultural commodities trading company, which generated revenue of $132.37 million in the last twelve months but faces profitability challenges with weak gross margins of 1.76%, plans to allocate up to 50% of the funds to develop a blockchain-powered platform that will tokenize agricultural commodities such as sugar, rice, and edible oils. The platform aims to enable smart contract-based settlement, on-chain supply chain tracking, and cross-border efficiency.

"The platform will facilitate near-instant cross-border settlements, addressing time and cost inefficiencies in traditional trade finance," the company stated in its announcement.
Davis Commodities cited a Boston Consulting Group report projecting the global real-world asset tokenization market to exceed $16 trillion by 2030.
The company expects the combined digital treasury strategy and tokenization platform to generate revenue growth within 24 months of launch, though specific financial projections were not disclosed.
