Sovereign Stock White Paper v0.5
From government bonds to sovereign capital
- A new fiscal structure by sovereign capital -
Summary
Executive summary
Sovereign Stock is a national-specific digital capital security that combines the characteristics of government bonds, stocks, and crypto assets.
The main purpose of state stocks is to convert the accumulated national excess debt into national capital, not to the future by simply borrowing.
State-owned stocks are not ordinary shares of joint stocks. It does not mean that you do not have the right to vote and participate in national management. In addition, there is no obligation to repay maturity and principal such as government bonds.
There is no interest rate. There is no dividend.
In accounting terms, state stocks are positioned as national capital, not liabilities.
The basic statutory issuance ceiling is 1,000 trillion shares. If 1 share = 1 yen is the standard value, the maximum issuance amount will be 1,000 trillion yen.
National stocks are not a system that covers government spending by issuing unlimited stocks. Based on the conversion of existing government bonds and excess debts into national stocks, if there is a shortage of money in the normal national budget, the shortfall will be raised through government bonds as usual.
In other words, instead of changing the normal financial discipline through the introduction of state stocks, the financial structure of the country will be changed by converting existing government bonds into national capital.
In the pre-sale of national stocks, the central bank acquires the full amount. After the launch, the central bank sells its national shares to the market and pays the capital gains generated by the sale above the acquisition price as government proceeds.
The increase in the market value of national stocks is formed through investment demand, and the capital gains are returned to the national finances.

1 What are national stocks?
State-owned stocks are new capital securities issued by the state.
Combine the following three characteristics.
From government bonds
・Issued by the state ・Based on national credit ・Available for national finance
From stocks
・Treated as capital rather than liabilities ・In principle, there is no maturity ・No obligation to repay the principal ・Constitute the net assets of the country ・Have market value
From crypto assets
・Digital management for each unit ・Small holding and transfer ・Digital assets that can be circulated in the market
Combine these,
State-owned stocks are digital state capital issued by the state that, in principle, does not have interest rates, dividends, and principal redemption.
──────────────────────────────────
2 Central proposition
The central proposition of national stocks is
Convert the state’s excess debt into state capital.
It is.
In conventional financial management,
Expendit ↓ Insufficient tax revenue ↓ Issuance of government bonds ↓ Increase in national debt ↓ Redemption ↓ Borrowing by new government bonds
The structure continues.
In national stocks, some of the existing government bonds or the eligible government bonds,
Government bonds ↓ Conversion to national stocks ↓ National capitalization ↓ Decrease in government bond balance
Convert to the structure of.
In this way, we aim to move from a financial structure that continues to refinance government bonds permanently to a financial structure that forms national capital.
──────────────────────────────────
3 Publication scale and basic specifications
If 1 share = 1 yen,
1,000 trillion shares × 1 yen = 1,000 trillion yen
It will be.
However, it does not mean that 1,000 trillion shares will be supplied to the market at once.
1,000 trillion shares is the legal upper limit as national capital, and the actual issuance, conversion, and market supply are based on the financial situation.
──────────────────────────────────
4 National stocks and national finances
Even if national stocks are introduced, the normal financial management itself will not change.
The national budget is
Tax revenue + Other Revenue
Make it a basic financial resource.
If the budget is insufficient,
Shortfall → Government bonds
Procured by.
In other words,
We will not increase the fiscal deficit indefinitely on the grounds of national stocks.
State-owned stocks are not unlimited financial resources to create new deficits, but a system for converting existing government bonds and excess debts into state capital.
Therefore,
Regular budget → Tax revenue + government bonds as needed
The financial discipline is maintained.
On the other hand,
Existing government bonds → national stocks
Introduce a different financial structure called.
──────────────────────────────────
5 The core of accounting design
In the national stock system, national stocks are treated as national capital.
For example, if a government bond worth 1,000 trillion yen is converted into national stocks,
Before the conversion
Government bonds 1,000 trillion yen
= National debt
Change
Government bonds ▲1,000 trillion yen
National stock capital +1,000 trillion yen
After the conversion
Reduce the balance of government bonds,
1,000 trillion yen in national stock capital
It is recorded as national capital.
Through this system, the financial structure of the country,
Debt center
A husk
Capital-centered
Transfer to.
National stocks are not just an accounting name change, but assume that the legal system, financial market, and accounting system will be built as one to convert government bonds into capital.
──────────────────────────────────
6 Forced conversion from government bonds to national stocks
In the national stock system, existing government bonds that are eligible are forcibly converted into national stocks.
Instead of voluntary exchange, the conversion target, conversion ratio, and conversion time are determined by law.
For example,
1,000 trillion yen of government bonds
In the case of,
1,000 trillion yen of government bonds ↓ 1,000 trillion yen for national stocks ↓ Government bond balance ▲1,000 trillion yen National stock capital + 1,000 trillion yen
Do it.
Holders of government bonds receive the same amount of national shares instead of being repaid in cash by the government.
As a result, the structure of issuing new government bonds at maturity and refinancing the principal will be changed by converting to national stocks.
National stocks are not securities for continuing to borrow government bonds, but securities for converting government bonds themselves into national capital.
──────────────────────────────────
7 National stocks are not “debts”
For government bonds,
Principal repayment + Interest payment + Matid + Re-borrowing
Exists.
For national stocks,
No principal repayment + No interest rate + No dividends + No maturity
Adopt the design of.
Therefore, national stocks are
Securities that exist permanently as national capital, not debts that the government has promised to repay in the future
Position it as.
──────────────────────────────────
8 Pre-sale
Pre-sale will be carried out in the market introduction of national stocks.
In the pre-sale,
The central bank acquires all national stocks.
This will unify the initial holders of national stocks with the central bank and manage the circulation before the market launch.
Pre-sale
National stock issuance
↓
The central bank acquires the entire amount
↓
Initial holding by the central bank
↓
Market launch
↓
The central bank sells to the market
With this mechanism, the market distribution of national stocks will be started in stages.
──────────────────────────────────
9 Capital gains of the central bank
After the launch, the central bank will sell its shares to the market.
If it is sold at a price higher than the acquisition price,
Sale price - acquisition price = Capital gain
It will be.
This capital gain is not accumulated as an internal interest of the central bank,
Pay as government rebends.
As a result,
Formation of the national stock market
↓
Increase in market value
↓
Profit from the sale of the central bank
↓
Government Revenue
Forming a new financial cycle.
Since there are no dividends for national stocks, there is no dividend payment from the government to national stock holders.
──────────────────────────────────
10 Market value of national stocks
While domestic stocks have a market value as an asset that is bought and sold in the market, while 1 share = 1 yen is the standard value.
The market value fluctuates depending on supply and demand.
If the market value rises,
Increase in investment demand
↓
Rising market prices of domestic stocks
↓
Increase in the sale profit of the central bank
↓
Increase in government re Revenue
The effect is expected.
Therefore, national stocks are not just national securities with a fixed value,
A system that gives national capital market value and returns capital gains arising from that market value to national finance
Design as.
──────────────────────────────────
11 Flow of private funds
If government bonds are converted to national stocks, the nature of the assets held by the private sector will change.
Government bond system
Private ↓ Holding government bonds ↓ Debt to the government ↓ Interest and principal are paid by the government
National stock system
Private ↓ Holding national stocks ↓ Holding national capital ↓ Interest rates and dividends are not accepted ↓ Sell in the market if necessary
If national stocks are sold in the market, the funds will be transferred from the buyer to the seller.
Therefore, in national stocks, the circulation of funds centered on interest payments by the government will shift to the circulation of funds between private entities centered on market transactions.
──────────────────────────────────
12 Relationship with inflation
The basic form of the national stock system focuses on the conversion from government bonds to national stocks.
This is different from the government issuing a new currency to make the same amount of new spending.
Therefore,
The conversion from government bonds to national stocks itself is designed as a conversion of existing financial assets to capital, not the issuance of new currency for government spending.
It does not include the unlimited use of national stocks as settlement currency, and maintains the securities as national capital.
For this reason, the inflationary pressure caused by the conversion to national stocks itself will be suppressed.
──────────────────────────────────
13 Financial discipline
Even if national stocks are introduced, the financial discipline will not change.
If the national budget is insufficient,
Shortfall → Government bonds
Maintain the traditional financial procurement.
Using national stocks,
Deficit → Unlimited domestic stock issuance
I won’t make it a structure like that.
The main role of national stocks is
Existing government bonds → national stocks
It is a capital conversion.
Therefore,
Domestic stocks are not a system that fills the fiscal deficit indefinitely, but a system that changes the repayment and conversion system of existing debts.
──────────────────────────────────
14 Redesign of “repayment” by national stocks
In government bonds,
The government repays the principal
It is basic.
In national stocks,
Convert government bonds themselves into national stocks
As a result, there is no need to repay the principal in cash.
In addition,
Profit from the sale of national stocks by the central bank ↓ Government Revenue
Return the capital gains to the national finances.
In other words, in national stocks,
Instead of refinancing government bonds and extending the repayment deadline, government bonds are converted into national stocks and the capital gains generated from the market value of national stocks are returned to the national treasury.
Establish a new repayment and financial compensation system.
──────────────────────────────────
15 The purpose of national stocks
The purpose of national stocks is the following five.
Convert national excess debt into state capital
Form the net assets of the country
Reduce dependence on refinancing government bonds
Open state capital to the private sector through the market
In addition to tax revenue and government bonds, national capital is the pillar of the financial structure
──────────────────────────────────
16 Legal system
National stocks are not shares under the company law.
Therefore, an independent special law will be enacted for national stocks.
The matters stipulated by law are as follows.
Definition of national stocks
Issuer
Legal issuance limit
Standard value of 1 yen per share

17-step introduction
Instead of putting 1,000 trillion yen into the market at once, we will introduce a system in stages.
Stage 1
Tens of trillions of yen pilot introduction.
Verify market liquidity, price formation, acquisition and sale by central banks, and accounting processing.
The second stage
Start the forced conversion of existing government bonds to national shares.
The third stage
Expand the national stock market and return capital gains to government reeduct.
Stage 4
Gradually expand the conversion from government bonds to national capital.
──────────────────────────────────
18 The financial structure aimed at by national stocks
Traditional financial structure:
Tax revenue + The funds
↓
National budget
After the introduction of national stocks:
Tax revenue + Necessary government bonds + Revenue generated from national capital
↓
National budget
At the same time,
Existing government bonds ↓ National stock ↓ National capital
Promote the transformation of the financial structure.
In other words, national stocks are
From finance that continues to increase government bonds to finance that forms state capital
Aim for the transformation of.
──────────────────────────────────
19 Basic ideas of national stocks
State-owned stocks are not a system that creates “new debt”.
It is also not a system that eliminates the financial discipline of the regular budget.
The role of national stocks is
Convert existing government bonds into national stocks and convert national debt into national capital
It is in.
And by returning the capital gains generated from the market value of national stocks to government reeds from the central bank,
Use national capital itself as a new financial foundation.
──────────────────────────────────
One sentence definition of national stocks (v0.5)
Government stocks are the transformation of the country’s financial structure from debt-centered to capital-centered by forcibly converting existing government bonds into state capital, circulating national stocks that do not have interest rates, dividends, and principal repayments in the market, and returning the capital gains obtained by the central bank to government recends. It is a national proprietary digital capital security.
