What PlanetaryX does

PlanetaryX is a private, early-stage biodiversity fintech that issues Biodiversity Resilience Assets (BRAs), a new class of stapled financial instruments designed to quantify and monetize ecosystem services beyond carbon, including biodiversity preservation, climate resilience, pollution prevention, deforestation mitigation, and community benefits. The company serves corporate buyers seeking credible offsetting and insetting solutions, private landowners, agro businesses, and government entities, while channeling 75-90% of asset proceeds to local communities and indigenous groups in the Brazilian Amazon.

The platform combines satellite imagery, AI-driven analysis, and ground-based data collection through a proprietary mobile application certified by Bureau Veritas to ISO 27001 and ISO 27018. The application captures over 27 data points per project, including flora and fauna inventories, soil and water samples, eDNA, camera traps, and community assessments. Collected data feeds a proprietary biodiversity index methodology that is then tokenized on a blockchain-based registry for tamper-proof chain of custody. Asset holders access holdings through a dedicated Planetary Portal (app.planetaryx.io). PlanetaryX maintains an affiliation with Sthorm as the underlying technology platform and with Earth Vault Foundation for community governance, and aligns its methodology with UN SDGs, the Paris Agreement, TNFD, FSC, and PEFC.

PlanetaryX generates revenue by selling BRAs (and first-generation Biome Conservation Assets, BCAs) on a performance basis to private and corporate buyers, with pricing available only on request through a direct enterprise sales motion. The company's two live projects are the Alpha pilot in Fazenda Primavera, Amazonas (470 hectares, 357,760 BCAs) and the larger Seringais project across three conservation areas in Acre (55,250 hectares, 35,906,520 BRAs). The team comprises 1-10 employees led by CEO Nathanial Matthews and co-founders Pablo Lobo and Mariano Lopez Hermida, with no disclosed funding rounds, revenue, or institutional investors.

Revenue model

1. Biodiversity Resilience Asset (BRA) Sales: PlanetaryX generates revenue by creating and selling Biodiversity Resilience Assets (BRAs) to private and corporate buyers. The assets certify, recognize, and reward nature-positive land stewardship. BRAs are sold on a performance basis, with proceeds distributed to local communities (75% minimum, targeting 90%).
2. Biome Conservation Asset (BCA) Sales: First-generation assets (BCAs) paired with green CPRV instruments valid in Brazil with 10-year lifespan. Limited data collection compared to BRAs but provides carbon stock certification.
