LSE Capital Limited has increased its shareholding in Digital Custodian Company Limited (DCCL) to 54.01 percent after acquiring an additional 5.75 percent equity stake from another co-investor, according to a material information notice submitted to the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
The latest acquisition gives LSE Capital majority control in DCCL, strengthening its position in Pakistan’s developing digital custody and financial infrastructure sector. In the filing, the company stated that the additional shares were acquired from an existing co-investor, taking cumulative ownership above the 50 percent threshold.
LSE Capital Limited is a Pakistan Stock Exchange-listed investment and financial services company involved in merger and acquisition advisory, restructuring, corporate finance, investment management, and capital market-related businesses. The company operates under the broader LSE Enterprises umbrella.
Digital Custodian Company Limited operates in the emerging digital asset and digital custody space, an area that has gained increasing attention in Pakistan amid regulatory discussions around blockchain-based financial infrastructure, tokenization, and virtual asset governance.
The transaction comes as Pakistan accelerates efforts to bring digital assets, blockchain-based finance, and crypto-linked infrastructure under a formal regulatory framework.
In recent months, the government has launched the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, held high level discussions on tokenized sovereign bonds and blockchain-based investment products, and increased focus on regulated digital custody, settlement systems, and virtual asset oversight as part of broader plans to modernize Pakistan’s financial markets and attract global digital finance investment.
The company informed the PSX that the acquisition has been formally communicated to the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan and relevant market participants.
