Exclusive: Mysterious 2010 Bitcoin Whale Launches Bitcoin-Only Market-Making CertificateNavigating New Frontiers: How the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC Is Redefining Investment Strategies
In a surprising move that has sparked intrigue within the Bitcoin community, an early bitcoin miner from 2010 has stepped into the spotlight by launching a new bitcoin actively managed certificate (AMC) with over $50 million in assets under management.
The enigmatic figure behind this venture has chosen to remain anonymous, fueling speculation and curiosity among Bitcoin enthusiasts. While details about the mysterious early Bitcoin miner remain shrouded in secrecy, speculation regarding their identity and motives continues to abound. Some speculate that the individual behind this initiative may have played a pivotal role in the early days of Bitcoin mining, accumulating a substantial fortune in the process. Others suggest that their decision to remain anonymous reflects a desire to maintain privacy and avoid unwanted attention. According to the Swiss family office, Zeltner & Co., the early bitcoin investor’s motivation for seeding this strategy is to reduce bitcoin’s volatility and pave the way for bitcoin to become a widely adopted medium of exchange. In an exclusive interview for Bitcoin Magazine Pro with one of the portfolio managers of the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC, Dr. Demelza Hays, stated, “Bitcoin's potential to become a global medium of exchange and money hinges significantly on achieving stable purchasing power. Currently, the volatility inherent in Bitcoin's price poses a barrier to its widespread adoption for everyday transactions. However, if Bitcoin were to stabilize in value, it could emerge as a viable alternative to traditional fiat currencies, offering benefits such as decentralization, security, and lower transaction costs on Bitcoin scaling solutions such as Liquid, AQUA, and the Lightning Network.” Due to the high amount of assets, the certificate, called the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC, has already become the largest actively managed bitcoin-only financial product in Europe and the second largest globally after the Purpose Investments Bitcoin Yield ETF (BTCY), with over $109 million CAD ($80.750 U.S.). There are several large Bitcoin ETFs that actively manage futures positions, such as the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), with over $2.82 billion in assets under management; however, these are not actively managed funds in the traditional sense. Instead of trying to outperform or optimize the risk/return of a direct investment in bitcoin, futures ETFs aim to track the price of bitcoin 1:1.

The strategy provides liquidity to the BTC/USD spot market with market making on leading exchanges such as Kraken. This leads to small gains, which can accumulate between 2% and 6% per annum, depending on volatility. The volatility premium is generated when the market moves from filling the buy orders generated by the algorithm to filling the sell orders, and vice versa. The algorithm buys low and sells high at each dip or peak, respectively. Figure 2: Risk Profile of Bitcoin Versus Zeltner & Co. Bitcoin Volatility Premium

Similar to ETFs, as more investors invest in certificates of the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC, the certificate must purchase more bitcoin, therefore increasing the demand for bitcoin, which already outpaces the newly created daily supply by several factors. The market making targets an allocation of 70% Bitcoin and 30% U.S. dollars, meaning that the strategy currently owns over 540 Bitcoin. The strategy is managed by the prestigious family office Zeltner & Co., based in Zurich, Switzerland. Founded by Thomas Zeltner, Zeltner & Co. is continuing the legacy of Thomas’s father, the late former president of UBS' wealth management, Jürg Zeltner. Zeltner & Co., renowned for its discretion and expertise in wealth management, has lent credibility to this venture, solidifying confidence in the strategy's legitimacy and potential for success. The decision to establish the certificate in Zurich, a global hub for finance and innovation, underscores the commitment to regulatory compliance and adherence to stringent standards of financial oversight. Switzerland's favorable regulatory environment and its reputation as a leading jurisdiction for Bitcoin-related activities further enhance the appeal of the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC to investors seeking exposure to digital assets. The launch of the Bitcoin Volatility Premium AMC comes at a time of heightened interest, with bitcoin recently surpassing all-time highs and capturing the attention of institutional investors and mainstream media alike. As the market continues to mature and attract greater institutional participation, the emergence of innovative investment vehicles such as this certificate highlights the evolving nature of digital asset management.
