HWAL Inc. (OTCID: HWAL), a multimedia holding company, is advancing a tokenized approach to music royalties as the real-world asset market continues to expand. Through its 50%-owned Lunar Records venture, the company formed Lunar Records Fund 1 in January 2026, a proposed $10 million fund built around Bitcoin-based $1 tokens that would provide holders with monthly distributions tied to royalties from 1,000 songs. The initiative aims to make royalty ownership and distribution more transparent and accessible through blockchain-based structures, according to the company.
The move comes amid growing interest in tokenizing traditional assets, from real estate to art, as blockchain technology offers new ways to fractionalize ownership and streamline payments. Music royalties, which generate consistent income streams from streaming, licensing, and performance, are particularly well-suited for tokenization. By packaging a diversified catalog of 1,000 songs into a fund, HWAL seeks to lower the barrier to entry for investors who previously lacked access to this asset class.
HWAL says it could eventually expand the model to as much as $500 million in assets under management. Beyond streaming royalties, the company is seeking additional licensing opportunities for its music catalog across film, television, video games, the metaverse, and advertising. These avenues could provide multiple revenue streams, further enhancing the value proposition for token holders.
The company’s broader vision includes driving innovation in entertainment, space archiving, AI, real-world assets, and digital media assets. As a multimedia holding company, HWAL is positioning itself at the intersection of technology and content, leveraging blockchain to unlock liquidity in traditionally illiquid markets.

Investors and industry observers are closely watching the tokenized RWA space, which some estimate could grow into a multi-trillion-dollar market over the next decade. By focusing on music royalties, HWAL is tapping into a sector that generated over $26 billion in global revenue in 2023, according to industry reports. The proposed fund’s structure, with monthly distributions, could appeal to income-focused investors seeking yield outside traditional fixed-income instruments.
