Nomura’s Laser Digital Launches Natively Tokenized Bitcoin Yield Fund

The vehicle combines core Bitcoin exposure with market‑neutral strategies to seek returns above price performance.

Overview

  • Laser Digital’s Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP issues on‑chain shares natively and is domiciled in the Cayman Islands.
  • The firm bills BDYF as the world’s first natively tokenized Bitcoin yield fund, with KAIO handling tokenization and Komainu providing custody.
  • The strategy layers arbitrage, lending and options on top of a long‑only Bitcoin core to generate income.
  • Access is limited to non‑U.S. institutional and accredited investors with a $250,000 minimum, payable in USD or BTC equivalent.
  • Laser Digital targets more than 5% excess returns over Bitcoin on rolling 12‑month periods, subject to market conditions, and positions BDYF as an upgrade to its 2023 Bitcoin Adoption Fund.
