New Digital Bond

On September 4, the Munich-headquartered multinational announced the issuance of the new bond, following its debut of a €60 million digital bond in 2023. This bond has a one-year maturity and was settled through the private permissioned blockchain of SWIAT using the Bundesbank's Trigger Solution.

The transaction was executed in a fully automated manner, within minutes, using central bank money. DekaBank served as the bond registrar, with BayernLB, DZ BANK, Helaba, and LBBW acting as investors. Deutsche Bank facilitated the central bank money settlement.

By issuing another digital bond, we are demonstrating once again our spirit of innovation and underscoring our aim to continuously drive digital solutions for the financial markets.Ralf P. Thomas, Chief Financial Officer of Siemens

Siemens' Technology Strategies

Siemens' blockchain efforts are part of a broader strategy involving new technologies. Earlier in 2024, the company partnered with Sony to explore the metaverse, focusing on industrial applications. The collaboration aims to launch a new mixed-reality headset designed for professional designers and engineers, enhancing productivity with artificial intelligence.

The issuance of digital bonds and partnerships with technology companies demonstrates Siemens' commitment to innovation and the development of digital financial solutions.
