About
Owns Bitcoin, gold, and big tech, while shorting higher‑risk crypto stocks (MicroStrategy, Coinbase), gold miners, ARKK, and the yen. Weights adjust daily so calmer assets carry more, aiming to hedge crypto direction and capture spreads.
Core idea: own some Bitcoin and big‑tech, but bet against the riskier crypto plays (MicroStrategy, Coinbase). It also owns gold while betting against gold‑mining stocks. Smaller hedges bet against Ether and ARKK, and on a weaker yen. Each day, positions are sized by recent volatility—steadier assets get bigger weights, swingy ones get smaller—to keep risk balanced.
Out-of-sample results show a volatility-balanced mix of BTC, tech, and gold with targeted shorts (crypto, ARKK, JPY). Daily rebalancing seeks steadier, higher risk-adjusted returns and smaller drawdowns vs the S&P 500.
