About SAFA Global Capital
What is Safa Global Capital?
Safa Global Capital is being established in Malta as the issuer of STAC, a Sukuk-style asset-backed digital certificate. The platform offers Shariah-compliant exposure to a diversified portfolio of real assets, real estate, ventures, and commodities. The full architecture is being built around five Maltese entities (Foundation, Capital, Mint, Custody, and Ventures), with future redomicile of the Foundation to Switzerland contemplated once it reaches institutional maturity as a multi-generational steward-owner.
Who is Safa Global Capital for?
Future offerings will be limited to qualified, professional, or accredited investors in jurisdictions where such offerings are lawful. The Safa Global Society offers a free community membership open to interested individuals globally, regardless of investor status, plus two paid Founder tiers (Annual and Lifetime) limited to 1,000 founding seats.
What stage is the platform in?
Malta entity formation is underway. The Safa Global Society is open. STAC offerings will commence following completion of entity formation, Shariah Advisory Board appointment, and offering documentation review by Maltese capital-markets counsel.
STAC
What is STAC?
STAC is a Sukuk-style asset-backed digital certificate, structured as a transferable security under EU MiFID II. STAC represents fractional beneficial ownership in a diversified portfolio of identified real assets, governed by AAOIFI Standards 17 (Investment Sukuk) and 23 (Wakalah).
Is STAC a cryptocurrency?
No. STAC is a regulated security/sukuk under MiFID II, not a stablecoin, not a utility token, not an unregulated cryptoasset. The Sukuk-style asset-backing is structurally load-bearing.
How do I access STAC?
STAC subscriptions will be made available to qualified investors through documented private-placement offering materials, in jurisdictions where such offerings are lawful. Safa Global Society members receive priority notification when subscriptions open.
What backs STAC?
A diversified portfolio of real assets, including hospitality (Jumeirah Acapulco), purpose-built student housing (Torino), gold reserves, and operating ventures across the Excellence Fund.
Safa Global Society
What is the Safa Global Society?
A community organized in three tiers: a free Member tier (open to all), and two paid Founder tiers (Annual and Lifetime) that share a hard limit of 1,000 founding seats. All tiers receive project briefings, Shariah Advisory Board updates, and priority notification when STAC opens to qualified investors. Membership in every tier is non-investment, non-equity, and confers no expectation of financial return.
Does Safa Global Society membership cost anything?
The Member tier is free. The paid Founder tiers are: Annual at $1,000 one-time founding fee (first year included) plus $500/year renewal thereafter, and Lifetime at $5,000 one-time with no renewals ever. Both paid tiers fill the same 1,000 founding seats. No payment is collected for the free Member tier, and no tier promises any allocation of STAC or any other instrument.
Can I upgrade from Annual to Lifetime later?
Yes. Annual Founders may upgrade to Lifetime at any time for the full $5,000. Previously paid annual fees are not credited against the Lifetime price.
What happens after the 1,000 cap is reached?
Once the 1,000 founding seats are filled, the public application form closes. After that point, only the Founder may issue an Honorary Founding Membership, on a case-by-case basis, to individuals he personally invites. Honorary Members pay the same fee as the standard Founding tier and receive the same governance rights. After the Founder’s tenure, no further Honorary issuance occurs. The Society shrinks naturally over generations; the Foundation continues to oversee remaining Members but does not refresh the founding members.
Can I become a member if I am not a qualified investor?
Yes. Safa Global Society membership is open globally, regardless of investor classification, across all three tiers. Future STAC subscriptions will be limited to qualified investors, but Society membership itself is community-based.
Shariah Compliance
How do you ensure Shariah compliance?
An independent Shariah Advisory Board issues a pre-issuance fatwa for each instrument, conducts quarterly review of holdings, and an annual Shariah audit. All instruments and structures are designed for alignment with AAOIFI Standards.
What makes STAC Shariah-compliant?
STAC is structured as Sukuk, asset-backed, with profit/loss flowing from real economic activity rather than interest (riba). Underlying activities are screened to exclude prohibited industries. Wakalah agency-fee and Mudarabah profit-share structures replace interest-based mechanics.
When will the Shariah Advisory Board be announced?
Board composition will be announced ahead of the first qualifying issuance, alongside the published fatwa.
Regulatory & Legal
Where is STAC regulated?
Malta, under the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) framework, with offerings structured under EU MiFID II and Prospectus Regulation private-placement exemptions. Distribution to investors in other jurisdictions follows their respective home-jurisdiction rules (Reg D / Reg S in the US, FPO in the UK, LMV in Mexico, etc.).
Is this an investment offer?
No. Information on this website is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Future offerings will be conducted exclusively through documented offering materials to qualified investors.
How are member data and funds protected?
KYC, AML, source-of-funds, and sanctions screening apply at admission per EU 5AMLD/6AMLD and FATF guidance. Subscription funds (when applicable) are held in regulated escrow with a Maltese trust company; never directly in operating wallets.
