The Flagship Fund
The Flagship Fund was launched by BlockTower in August 2017 in order to invest pursuant to multiple
component strategies involving, among other things, investing and trading in various digital currencies,
cryptocurrencies, cryptocommodities, decentralized application tokens and protocol tokens, app coins,
blockchain-based assets, DeFi (defined below) linked lending or debt purchases, cryptoassets and other
cryptofinance and digital assets and instruments that are based on the blockchain, distributed ledger,
directed acyclic graph or similar technologies (collectively, “Digital Assets”). BlockTower’s advisory
services on behalf of the Flagship
Fund are not limited to investments in Digital Assets and include broad
discretion to invest, trade or otherwise participate in other securities or instruments, including any equity,
debt, convertible security, commodity, derivative or other asset that may provide exposure to any goods,
product, service or business in the digital asset or blockchain industry, to any segment of the digital asset
or blockchain industry or to the digital asset or blockchain industry more broadly. The Flagship Fund seeks
to provide directional exposure to Digital Asset markets by applying the skillsets of professional trading,
investing, portfolio and risk management, implementing strategies including but not limited to fundamental
research and asset selection, thematic investing, and active trading.
The Venture Fund
The Venture Fund was launched by BlockTower in January 2022. The Venture Fund’s investment objective
and strategy is to apply the skills of both crypto-native and traditional venture to identify and make
investments into: (a) Digital Assets, (b) securities or alternative instruments that are related to or derived
from Digital Assets or that represent interests in pools of Digital Assets, and (c) equity and equity-oriented
securities of privately held companies that issue, or have businesses related to, Digital Assets (clauses (a),
(b) and (c) together, “Venture Fund Investments”).
Venture Fund Investments made by the Venture Fund include a mix of both tokens and equity, across
categories including, but not limited to, protocols, infrastructure and middleware, decentralized finance
(“DeFi”), non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”), gaming and social tokens, focusing primarily on early stage (Pre-
Seed to Series A) and strategic financing rounds. The Venture Fund seeks to obtain an appropriate level of
diversification across various web3 investment themes and geographies. The Venture Fund expects to make
approximately twenty (20) to thirty (30) core Venture Fund Investments, as well as a number of smaller
Venture Fund Investments throughout its investment period, and will seek to support companies and
networks throughout their lifecycle beyond its initial investment.
The Market Neutral Fund
The Market Neutral Fund was launched by BlockTower in July 2021. The Market Neutral Fund’s
investment objective is to provide Investors with non-directional risk-adjusted exposure to the crypto asset

authority on behalf of the Market Neutral Fund is not limited to Digital Assets and included broad discretion

the Credit Fund may generate returns beyond the Core Credit Portfolio through its leveraging of blockchain
technology and subsequent potential receipt of Digital Assets (the “Token Portfolio”). The Core Credit
Portfolio pursues a multicomponent strategy involving, among other things, (a) structured credit products;
(b) collateralized loan obligations; (c) senior secured, asset-backed debt facilities and instruments; (d)
mezzanine asset-backed debt facilities and instruments; (e) forward flow purchase agreements; and (f)

including directly into debt investments and securities that have already been securitized into blockchain
based forms.
