Hedged Bitcoin Exposure.
Premium Collected Daily.

We hold Bitcoin, hedge half of it with short futures, and sell call options against the position. The premium arrives every day, in rising markets, falling markets and flat ones. And when Bitcoin falls, the hedge pays out, we buy coins back at a discount, and we carry more of them into the recovery. Quarterly liquidity, no lock-ups.

Hold Bitcoin. Hedge half. A drawdown pays three times.

Half the position is hedged with short futures. When the price falls, the hedge pays out, we buy coins back at a discount, and we carry more coins into the recovery than we had before the dip — the boomerang.

Sell calls against it. Paid every day.

The buyer pays the premium up front. Every day that passes we keep a little more of it — up, down or sideways. Collected premium does not go back, so the line only climbs.

The Record

Two funds. One strategy. Seven years.

Our first fund, CMFDH I, operated from 1 July 2019 to 30 September 2022 and was independently audited for that entire period. Its successor, CMFDH II, commenced operations on 1 January 2023 and has been independently audited for the years 2023 to 2025. No fund was in operation between 1 October 2022 and 31 December 2022. The two funds are separate vehicles; periods after 31 December 2025 are unaudited.

A seven-year history across two funds, independently audited throughout their operation (periods after 31 December 2025 are unaudited).

Asymmetric Bitcoin Exposure

Trading a share of the upside to help manage the drawdowns.

By design, the one-half short-future hedge gives up a share of the upside in strong bull runs — in exchange for seeking to reduce the impact of Bitcoin's drawdowns. The strategy is intended for risk-managed accumulation, not full upside capture.

Supplementary information — Bitcoin-denominated, unaudited: 1.00 BTC held since 2019 across our two funds has grown to 2.35 BTC (+135%). The figures span two separate vehicles; no fund was in operation between 1 October 2022 and 31 December 2022, and periods after 31 December 2025 are unaudited. US Dollar results are stated above.

Quarterly returns in Bitcoin

CMFDH performance denominated in Bitcoin, quarterly. Benchmark = 1.0 BTC. Supplementary information — Bitcoin-denominated, unaudited.

The Problem with the S&P 500

Over the same timeframe, a passive S&P 500 allocation lost −64.1% of its purchasing power in BTC terms (1.00 BTC → 0.36 BTC). Supplementary information — Bitcoin-denominated, unaudited.
