For primary issuance, a direct client completes KYC/AML, has a wallet whitelisted and submits at least USD 5,000. The current Final Terms say the issuer itself offers new products exclusively to Qualified Professional Investors. The issuer buys an equivalent amount of Tesla common stock and activates ledger securities; issuance is discretionary. Redemption is an investor put process subject to screening, sale of collateral, cash or cryptocurrency settlement at issuer discretion, and a fee of up to 0.5% with a USD 100 minimum. The FAQ separately says retail holders may legally seek direct redemption after KYC and the USD 5,000 threshold, so eligibility to redeem should not be confused with eligibility for the issuer's primary offer.
Tesla shares are Standard Collateral in segregated product accounts. The Final Terms name Maerki Baumann, InCore Bank and Alpaca Securities as brokers and custodians, while the product page additionally lists GTN Europe as a custodian. Security Agent Services AG represents investors over the collateral. Backing is intended to be 1:1, but tokens are a creditor instrument and collateral lending is expressly allowed. The issue is open-ended, with up to USD 500 million total issue volume rather than a fixed token cap.
Corporate actions pass through a multiplier. Cash dividends received on collateral are reinvested net of tax; EVM balances rebase, while Solana and TON keep raw balances and apply display multipliers. Tesla itself reported never paying a cash dividend through 2025. A future dividend policy belongs to Tesla's board, whereas the issuer calculates the TSLAx rebasing result.
The ledger is administered. The terms reserve mint, burn of issuer-held units, relay settings, pausing and code updates to the tokenizer, and permit sanctioned-address blocking. The issuer may migrate ledgers, add networks, terminate the entire product without a specific reason under its call option, and propose future court- or regulator-directed freeze/recovery logic. Solana currently exposes separate mint, freeze, pause, metadata and multiplier authorities; public transfers therefore coexist with operational keys. On 2026-09-05 the shared EVM ledger was an EIP-1967 proxy pointing to implementation 0x65c40d624af3b18c109fbf87b7deff34cdc5f19b; token ownership and the ProxyAdmin owner resolved to the same 0x49754062e35f7591b93cc4f9915965be89643a65 2-of-3 Safe. Dedicated minter, burner/multiplier-updater and pauser roles divide routine operations, but the owner can replace those roles and the proxy admin can replace implementation logic.
