Former Brazilian Billionaire Launches Crypto-Backed Biofuel Innovation Project

A Bold Bet on Supercane

  • Former Brazilian billionaire is launching a cryptocurrency token ($EIKE) backed by innovative sugarcane technology.
  • The genetically modified “supercane” project aims to produce triple the ethanol yield and 12x more biomass than traditional varieties.
  • Initial token presale values the project at $1 billion, with 10% offered for $100 million.
  • Project secured $500 million in funding from international investors, including Abu Dhabi Investment Group.
  • Planned cultivation of 20,000 hectares by 2029, with ethanol production beginning in 2028.

Former Brazilian billionaire Eike Batista is orchestrating a comeback through an unprecedented fusion of agricultural biotechnology and cryptocurrency, announcing a $1 billion token offering backed by genetically enhanced sugarcane production.

The venture, spearheaded by BRXe, represents a bold pivot for Batista, whose previous empire crumbled in 2013 with the collapse of his oil company OGX. The project’s cornerstone is "supercane," a genetically modified sugarcane variety developed through R$350 million ($58 million) in research investment since 2011.

Sizuo Matsuoka and Luis Claudio Rubio, BRXe’s co-owners, have engineered the supercane to revolutionize biofuel economics. The enhanced variety promises to yield three times more ethanol per hectare while generating 12 times more biomass than conventional sugarcane.

The $EIKE token, launched on the Solana Blockchain, introduces an innovative financial structure where each token corresponds to BRXe shares through smart contracts – self-executing agreements stored on the blockchain. Token holders receive monthly distributions in Solana’s native cryptocurrency, proportional to their holdings.

Beyond ethanol production, the project aims to transform sugarcane bagasse – the fibrous byproduct of sugar extraction – into biodegradable alternatives to plastic products. "The potential revenue from converting bagasse into sustainable packaging could reach $4,000 per ton, compared to just $20 when used for energy generation," Batista explained during the February announcement.

Despite skepticism surrounding Batista’s past legal troubles, including a 30-year corruption sentence, international investors are backing the venture. The Abu Dhabi Investment Group leads a $500 million funding round for land acquisition and factory construction near Porto do Açu.

The project’s ambitious timeline targets initial ethanol production by 2028, with full-scale cultivation across 20,000 hectares planned for 2029. This venture marks either a remarkable redemption story or another chapter in Batista’s controversial business career, depending on its execution and market reception.
