Swiss digital asset bank Sygnum has partnered with Athens-based Starboard Digital to launch the BTC Alpha Fund, a new investment vehicle designed for professional and institutional clients.
The fund's core objective is to generate yield—specifically targeting net annual returns of 8%-10%—that is paid directly in Bitcoin (BTC) coins. This structure allows investors to increase the quantity of BTC they hold through arbitrage strategies without reducing their exposure to the cryptocurrency's price movements.
The launch addresses a growing demand from institutional investors who are moving beyond simple holding (HODLing) to using decentralized finance (DeFi) to generate income on their BTC.
The Cayman Islands-domiciled fund includes features aimed at providing institutional flexibility and security:
The BTC Alpha Fund is the latest addition to Sygnum's regulated product suite, furthering its goal of bridging the gap between traditional finance and the crypto economy.
