We hold Bitcoin, stabilize prices, and produce income in dollars and bitcoin by selling futures and options.

Established track record

High liquidity

A 100% liquid book. Quarterly redemptions with two weeks' notice, no lock-ups.

Transparency

Marked to market 24/7, with the fund's balance published every day.

The market opportunity & philosophy

Bitcoin, without taking the whole drawdown.

Who it is for

Accredited investors and family offices seeking hedged crypto exposure rather than full-risk upside capture — and crypto-native investors who already hold significant Bitcoin.

Illustration

Because the futures we sell are convex, if the market crashed 30% and came back, we would earn 5–6% — and if that happened four times in a year, it would be a phenomenally successful year.

Core strategy, part 1 · Downside protection

The boomerang.

Mechanics: hold Bitcoin, and strictly hedge 50% of the position using short futures.

  1. When the Bitcoin price falls, the short futures hedge pays out in bitcoin, priced at the higher level where we sold. The further the price falls, the more coins it brings in.
  2. In effect, those payouts are coins bought back at a discount, and they stay in the fund.

The result: the fund carries more coins into the recovery than it had before the dip.

Gold = the fund · dashed grey = unhedged Bitcoin · schematic, not to scale

In the live book · as of 28 September 2026
The fund's main trading account stands at $1,164,552, and the hedge sits on about $980,000 of bitcoin within it. Against that, we are short $490,500 of the BTC-25DEC26 Bitcoin future — half the position — with two option positions on top. Because the future settles in bitcoin, at the price we sold at, a fall in the price is paid back to the fund as coins, and the deeper the fall, the more coins each dollar of hedge brings in.

Core strategy, part 2 · Yield generation

Daily premium.

Mechanics: selling call options against the Bitcoin position.

  • Buyers pay the premium upfront.
  • The fund keeps a little more of it every passing day, whether the market moves up, down, or sideways.

The result: collected premium is locked in, creating a steady, step-like climb in yield.

Forward edge

AI integration and yield infrastructure.

Current R&D

Daily development of AI models to improve both USD- and Bitcoin-denominated yields.

Broadening the scope

Systematic AI supporting derivative strategies and outbound and inbound sales funnels, and identifying multi-venue arbitrage and DeFi liquidity pool opportunities.

Prediction markets

A real-time research system that reads the public Deribit option chain to derive the market-implied probability of Bitcoin finishing above a given price, then compares it with the price of the matching Polymarket contract. Where the two diverge beyond a set threshold, it flags a signal.

Educational only. Signals are computed from public Deribit option-chain data and Polymarket prices. Not financial advice. Not a recommendation to trade. Past performance does not predict future results.
