Digital Holdings Group Review: Crypto mining ruse Ponzi
Digital Holdings Group fails to provide verifiable ownership or executive information on its website.
While Digital Holdings Group does provide a list of executives, none of them actually exist.
None of the presented individuals appear in Digital Holdings Group’s recorded marketing material. This is typical of scammers using stolen profile photos and/or AI generated images.
On its website, Digital Holdings Group also lies about when the company was created;
Established in 2017, Digital Holdings Group rapidly rose to prominence …
Digital Holdings Group’s website domain, “digitalholdingsgroup.io”, was privately registered on May 5th, 2024. Digital Holdings’ official FaceBook page wasn’t created until May 30th, 2024.
In other words, Digital Holding Group didn’t exist prior to May 2024.
One name we can attach to Digital Holdings Group is Kav Singh, author of the company’s official marketing presentation.
This suggests whoever is actually running Digital Holdings Group has ties to India and/or neighbouring countries (based on a name search).
For September 2024, SimilarWeb tracked 100% of Digital Holdings Group’s website traffic as originating from India.
In its marketing, Digital Holdings Group also suggests ties to Dubai:
Due to the proliferation of scams and failure to enforce securities fraud regulation, BehindMLM ranks Dubai as the MLM crime capital of the world.
BehindMLM’s guidelines for Dubai are:
- If someone lives in Dubai and approaches you about an MLM opportunity, they’re trying to scam you.
- If an MLM company is based out of or represents it has ties to Dubai, it’s a scam.

Referral Commissions

Residual Commissions
Digital Holdings Group pays residual commissions via a binary compensation structure.
A binary compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a binary team, split into two sides (left and right):
The first level of the binary team houses two positions. The second level of the binary team is generated by splitting these first two positions into another two positions each (4 positions).
Subsequent levels of the binary team are generated as required, with each new level housing twice as many positions as the previous level.
Positions in the binary team are filled via direct and indirect recruitment of affiliates. Note there is no limit to how deep a binary team can grow.
At the end of each day Digital Holdings Group tallies up new investment volume on both sides of the binary team.
- 70% of BTC invested at the BMS 100, BMS 500 and BMS 1000 tiers is counted
- 80% of BTC invested at the BMS 3000 and BMS 5000 tiers is counted
- 90% of BTC invested at the BMS 10,000 and BMS 20,000 tiers is counted
Residual commissions are paid as 10% of new investment volume on the weaker binary team side.

- invest at the BMS 100 tier and receive up to $50 a day
- invest at the BMS 500 tier and receive up to $250 a day
- invest at the BMS 1000 tier and receive up to $500 a day

ROI Match
Digital Holdings Group pays a ROI Match via a unilevel compensation structure.
A unilevel compensation structure places an affiliate at the top of a unilevel team, with every personally recruited affiliate placed directly under them (level 1):
If any level 1 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 2 of the original affiliate’s unilevel team.
If any level 2 affiliates recruit new affiliates, they are placed on level 3 and so on and so forth down a theoretical infinite number of levels.
Digital Holdings Group caps payable unilevel team levels at seven.
The ROI Match is paid as a percentage of daily returns paid across these seven levels based on how much an affiliate has invested:
- invest at the BMS 100, BMS 500 and BMS 1000 tiers and receive a 2% match across three unilevel team levels
- invest at the BMS 1000, BMS 3000 and BMS 5000 tiers and receive a 2% match on levels 1 to 3 and 3% on levels 4 and 5
- invest at the BMS 10,000 and BMS 20,000 tiers and receive a 2% match on levels 1 to 3, 3% on levels 4 and 5 and 4% on levels 6 and 7
Rank Achievement Bonus
Digital Holdings Group rewards affiliates for qualifying at Bronze through Gold with the following one-time Rank Achievement Bonuses:
- qualify at Bronze and receive $1000
- qualify at Silver and receive $4000
- qualify at Gold and receive $10,000
Presidential Incentives
Presidential Incentives are yet another match on ROI payouts to downline affiliates.
The Presidential Incentive is paid out as a coded percentage of daily returns paid to personally recruited affiliates.
- qualify at Emerald and receive a 2% Presidential Incentive
- qualify at Platinum and receive a 4% Presidential Incentive
- qualify at Diamond and receive a 6% Presidential Incentive
- qualify at Blue Diamond and receive a 8% Presidential Incentive
- qualify at Ambassador and receive a 10% Presidential Incentive
The coded nature of Presidential Incentives means the difference between recruited affiliate ranks and your own is paid out.
E.g. if you’ve recruited a Diamond ranked affiliate and you are an Ambassador, you only receive a 4% match on their daily ROI (your 10% minus their 6%).
Par Dividends
Par Dividends appears to be a generational bonus, paid as a percentage of daily returns paid to downline affiliates.
Digital Holdings Group calculates generations based on Emerald or higher ranked affiliates in each unilevel team leg.
Par Dividends are paid out as a 10% match on up to three generations (three downline Emerald or higher ranked affiliates).
Note that Par Dividends are only paid to Emerald and higher ranked Digital Holdings Group affiliates.
Crown Ambassador Pool
Digital Holdings Group takes 1% of the total daily ROI paid out and places it into the Crown Ambassador Pool.
To qualify for a share in the Crown Ambassador Pool, a Digital Holdings Group affiliate must have four Blue Diamond or higher ranked affiliates in their downline.

Digital Holdings Group Conclusion
Digital Holdings Group represents it generates external revenue via cryptocurrency mining:
Digital Holdings Group fails to provide verifiable evidence it generates external revenue of any kind.
That’s because, like Digital Holdings Group’s fictional executives, none exists.
As it stands, the only verifiable source of revenue entering Digital Holdings Group is new investment.
Using new investment to pay ROI withdrawals would make Digital Holdings Group a Ponzi scheme. Additionally, with nothing marketed or sold to retail customers, the MLM side of Digital Holdings Group functions as a pyramid scheme.
The plan behind Digital Holdings Group appears to be to scam consumers from India and then flee to Dubai.
As with all MLM Ponzi schemes, once affiliate recruitment dries up so too will new invesmtent.
This will starve Digital Holdings Group of ROI revenue, eventually prompting a collapse.
The math behind Ponzi schemes guarantees that when they collapse, the majority of participants lose money.
