Failed to start "Store a System Token in an EFI Variable"

Hello, recently I finished with my first installation of the Arch system.
It was a good experience, I learned a lot! Anyway...

One of my services is failing to start. It failed from the first time, it doesn't seem to cause any problems but I would really like to fix it.

Nov 06 21:52:17 sotsiaklin systemd[1]: Starting Store a System Token in an EFI Variable...
Nov 06 21:52:17 sotsiaklin bootctl[432]: Random seed file /boot/loader/random-seed successfully written (512 bytes).
Nov 06 21:52:17 sotsiaklin bootctl[432]: Failed to set LoaderSystemToken EFI variable: Invalid argument
Nov 06 21:52:17 sotsiaklin systemd[1]: systemd-boot-system-token.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Nov 06 21:52:17 sotsiaklin systemd[1]: systemd-boot-system-token.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Nov 06 21:52:17 sotsiaklin systemd[1]: Failed to start Store a System Token in an EFI Variable.

Now i have no idea from where to start. I read about the service a bit.. It seems the random-seed command is successful but it fails to initialize the System Token.
It actually failed from the first time I tried to install the boot manager if I remember correctly, but everything else went smoothly.

I searched and googled but I couldn't find a solution. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.
