Luxxfolio’s Kalyan: Litecoin Is “Digital Silver,”

Interview ZAYN KALYAN

Key Notes

  • Holds 20,084 LTC as of July from 84 million fixed supply cap
  • Positions Litecoin as digital silver with low fees and fast settlement
  • Uses LitVM upgrade for smart contracts and RWA tokenization

VANCOUVER, Nov 12 (Crypto-News.Net) – Luxxfolio Holdings, a Canadian public company advancing its Litecoin-focused treasury and infrastructure, plans to accumulate 1 million Litecoin by 2026 to solidify its position in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with recent moves into mining operations to generate cash flow and lower acquisition costs.

The push comes as Litecoin gains institutional traction following the October listing of Canary Capital’s LTC exchange-traded fund on Nasdaq, potentially accelerating corporate adoption but highlighting risks from market volatility and regulatory scrutiny, Executive Chairman Zayn Kalyan said.

“Litecoin fits our treasury philosophy perfectly. It’s one of the most proven, decentralized, and technically sound networks in existence,” Kalyan told Crypto-News.Net in an email interview.

Litecoin’s Role in Institutional Portfolios

This strategy positions Luxxfolio to capitalize on Litecoin’s growing role in institutional portfolios, where it is seen as a complement to Bitcoin with faster transactions and lower fees. However, analysts warn that corporate crypto treasuries can elevate credit risk profiles due to price swings, custody vulnerabilities and potential liquidation pressures, as noted in recent credit ratings assessments. The Canary ETF, launched on Oct. 28, marks a milestone for Litecoin, with over 300 million transactions in 2025 alone signaling retail and institutional uptake, but competition from Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions and scalability concerns could limit its edge.

Luxxfolio’s Strategic Shifts and Holdings

Luxxfolio, traded on the Canadian Securities Exchange as LUXX, the U.S. OTCQB as LUXFF and Frankfurt as LUH0, shifted toward a Litecoin-centric model in 2025, including the appointment of Kalyan as executive chairman in August, according to a press release, to steer growth in blockchain infrastructure and treasury management. As of July, the company held 20,084 LTC, a fraction of Litecoin’s 84 million fixed supply cap, amid a market cap for the asset around $8 billion in a recovering crypto sector.

To fund expansion, Luxxfolio filed a preliminary CAD $100 million base shelf prospectus in late August, enabling flexible capital raises over 25 months for treasury growth and infrastructure projects. The company has also strengthened its leadership team, adding non-executive director Ieva Guoga in October for her expertise in digital asset infrastructure, and strategic advisor Dustin Zinger later that month to provide capital markets and blockchain insights, according to company press releases.

Accumulation Goals and Differentiation

Kalyan highlighted the 1 million LTC goal as a marker of long-term commitment rather than speculation. “The one-million-Litecoin target was never about chasing a headline number. It’s about scale, conviction, and positioning,” he said. Accumulation involves steady purchases, infrastructure builds and partnerships, all without debt or derivatives.

Distinguishing from peers like MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin focus, Luxxfolio integrates active network participation. “We aren’t trading volatility or leveraging exposure; we’re building a permanent treasury in a hard, decentralized currency,” Kalyan added. Holdings are fully owned and unencumbered, with cash flow from yield programs and operations.

Mining Expansion and Risk Management

In September, the company advanced its mining strategy, shortlisting sites in Alberta and Saskatchewan for large-scale operations and negotiating for next-generation hardware, targeting startup by year-end 2025, as announced in a press release. Mining aims to secure the Litecoin network, reduce LTC acquisition costs and align with decentralization principles.

Risk management emphasizes no-leverage holding through cycles. “We also think in long cycles rather than quarters. Volatility is part of any hard asset market, so our goal is endurance,” Kalyan explained. Yet, critics point to Litecoin’s challenges, including competition from more scalable networks and delayed regulatory clarity, which could temper institutional enthusiasm despite the ETF approval.

Litecoin Upgrades and RWA Potential

Litecoin’s upgrades enhance its appeal, per Kalyan. Mimblewimble Extension Blocks (MWEB) added privacy, while LitVM, a zero-knowledge layer for smart contracts launched in 2025 with Litecoin Foundation backing, enables stablecoins and swaps. “With smart contract functionality, Litecoin moves from being purely a monetary network to a programmable one,” he said.

This positions Litecoin for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, where its efficiency suits settling tokenized invoices or energy assets. “The network’s speed, cost efficiency, and proven security make it ideal for tokenizing things like invoices, industrial credits, or even energy assets,” Kalyan noted. However, broader adoption hinges on overcoming perceptions of Litecoin as a secondary asset to Bitcoin, with some analysts forecasting price ranges of $75 to $231 in 2025 amid market uncertainties.

Partnerships and Future Priorities

Collaborations with the Litecoin Foundation drive ecosystem resilience. “Aligning with that effort lets us contribute in a way that strengthens the network for everyone,” he said.

For 2025 priorities, Luxxfolio focuses on accumulation, productive holdings via infrastructure and integrations with merchant networks. “Everything we’re doing is designed to compound strength quietly,” Kalyan added.

Amid regulatory scrutiny on corporate crypto in Canada, Luxxfolio’s public status offers transparency, though scaling to 1 million LTC may demand substantial capital if prices climb, potentially exposing the firm to activist pressures or liquidation risks seen in other crypto treasury models.

Kalyan sees Litecoin’s dual role growing. “As the market matures, I see Litecoin taking on a dual role in institutional portfolios,” he said, blending stability and usability. While optimistic, this view contrasts with bearish forecasts warning of declines if major catalysts falter.
