Permanent capital for universal, reliable, and clean electricity.
The Power Stewardship Initiative (POSI) mobilizes long-duration capital from crypto ecosystems to acquire minority equity stakes in electricity utilities and critical power-sector companies across frontier and underserved markets.
POSI operates as a long-term steward. By engaging at the level of ownership, governance, and capital allocation, we work to improve reliability, expand access, and accelerate the transition to renewable energy in electricity systems that matter to hundreds of millions of people.

Why This Matters
700+ million people still lack reliable electricity in 2025.
In 2025, more than 700 million people still lack reliable electricity, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa and parts of Asia. In these markets, utilities face chronic technical and commercial losses, weak maintenance, foreign-exchange risk, governance gaps, and short-term financing that stalls both grid expansion and decarbonization.
Donor programs and project-level finance deliver incremental gains, but they rarely change the core incentives and decisions that keep systems unreliable. POSI goes upstream—into ownership and stewardship—where those decisions are actually made.
The POSI Approach
Credible minority shareholder in utilities and power-sector operators.
POSI deploys patient, mission-locked capital to become a credible minority shareholder in utilities and power-sector operators, including distribution companies, independent power producers, and grid-services firms.
From that position, we engage at the board and strategy level to drive systemic outcomes. In practice, this typically includes:
Reduce losses
Reducing losses through modern metering, AI-assisted detection, and predictive maintenance.
Accelerate renewables
Accelerating renewable integration through capex reprioritization, PPAs, and grid upgrades.
Expand reliable service
Expanding reliable service to households and businesses.
Strengthen governance
Strengthening governance, transparency, and long-term planning.
How Crypto Ecosystems Engage
Treasury-safe participation with real-world relevance.
Crypto treasuries control large pools of idle, long-horizon capital seeking durable real-world relevance beyond speculation. POSI converts that capital into structural influence over electricity systems—without issuing tokens, creating retail yield promises, or introducing on-chain securities risk.
Participation is straightforward and treasury-safe. Ecosystems allocate capital off-chain to a mission-locked stewardship vehicle that acquires minority equity stakes and exercises long-term governance—without requiring crypto treasuries to hold equity directly.
Capital is typically provided through multi-year stable-value allocations (USD / USDC preferred), complemented where appropriate by carefully structured, non-dilutive facilities aligned with long-term infrastructure timelines.
Stable-first deployment, with minimal sell pressure
Capital preservation and recycling over time through real-world cash flows
Clean legal and accounting treatment
Verifiable, outcome-level impact, tied to reliability, access, and clean energy transition
Stewardship Insight
“Utilities are the chokepoint for electricity access, and reliability — POSI channels crypto capital into responsible stewardship of core power infrastructure, unlocking lasting positive impact.”
Impact Ahead
Outcomes that persist millions of new reliable connections.
Over time, POSI targets outcomes that persist: millions of new reliable connections, measurable reductions in grid losses, acceleration towards renewables, and stronger, more financially sustainable utilities.
