What is Tokenization: How to Sell Part of an Asset While Retaining Control

In today’s world, investment opportunities are becoming more accessible thanks to tokenization technology. This is especially important for property and business owners looking to raise capital while complying with Islamic Sharia law. The Mulk platform offers an innovative approach to financing through asset tokenization.

Tokenization is the process of converting a real-world asset (such as real estate, a company, or an industrial facility) into a digital form using blockchain technology. The asset is “split” into digital shares — tokens, each representing a portion of the asset’s value.

How It Works?

  • Digitizing the Asset
    Your asset (such as a building or business) is transformed into a digital entity, recorded and secured on the blockchain.
  • Fractionalization
    The asset is divided into multiple tokens. Each token represents a digital share of the asset.
  • Capital Raising
    These tokens can be offered to investors. By purchasing them, investors become partial owners, while you receive funding.
  • Security and Transparency
    All transactions are carried out via blockchain, ensuring protection, automation, and full transparency.

Why It’s Convenient

Tokenization allows you to:

Raise investments without losing full control over your asset.

Comply with Sharia principles — no interest, profit-sharing models, and transparent rules.

Avoid complex bureaucracy typically involved in traditional financing.

Increase liquidity — the asset can be sold partially, instead of entirely.

The Ability to Sell a Share While Retaining Control

A key advantage of tokenization is flexibility. You can sell only a portion of the tokens while keeping the controlling stake. This means:

You receive funding from investors.

You continue managing the asset.

You grow your business without giving up authority over it.

Conclusion
Tokenization is an effective and ethical way to access capital, especially for those who follow Islamic business principles. With the Mulk platform, tokenization becomes more than just a technology — it becomes a tool for growth, transparency, and new opportunities.
