Our client is a specialised investment firm dedicated exclusively to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Backed by sophisticated investors, they operate with an institutional mindset, combining disciplined risk management with deep domain expertise. Their mandate spans directional strategies, yield generation, market structure opportunities and balance-sheet optimisation grounded in sound monetary principles and the evolving global adoption of Bitcoin as a financial asset.
