About Us
Protocol-Native by Design
Empowering AI Through Decentralized Networks
DSV is the first hedge fund built exclusively around Bittensor – the protocol-layer for decentralized machine intelligence.
We exist to outperform Bitcoin by investing where intelligence and incentives converge.
Centralized AI is becoming the most powerful force in the world – but it’s owned by monopolies.
We believe intelligence should be open, verifiable, and accessible to anyone with talent.
That’s why DSV exists: to allocate early, aggressively, and intelligently into the infrastructure layer of open-source AI.
What We Stand For
Our
Manifesto
Chasing Real Alpha, Not Indices
Built to Outperform Bitcoin – Not Track It
Most digital asset funds measure themselves against traditional equity benchmarks.
We don’t.
Our benchmark is Bitcoin’s 50–100% CAGR – because anything less doesn’t preserve purchasing power.
DSV was launched in 2024 after years of independent outperformance by its founders. We seeded the fund with $1.4M of our own capital and launched under a regulated structure in The Bahamas.
In early 2025, we made a high-conviction pivot:
We went all-in on Bittensor – the protocol where decentralized AI is built, incentivized, and owned.
Our Timeline
Strategic Timeline
We started early and move fast. Here’s how our approach has grown as the network expands and new projects launch.
Designed for Asymmetry
Decentralization-First.
High-Conviction.
Long Horizon.
We believe that long-term alpha is found in open systems — where protocols outlive platforms, and capital flows to transparency and merit.
That’s why:
- We invest exclusively in Bittensor – the only network incentivizing permissionless intelligence
- We stake TAO, rotate subnets, and harvest asymmetric returns
- We measure our success in Satoshis gained, not fiat growth
- We manage risk through strategy rotation, not passive diversification
We don’t chase hype. We don’t follow trends.
We invest where capital hasn’t arrived yet – and where it will matter most in five years.
What We Believe
Our First Principles
This is the foundation of how we think:
CIO Perspective
“We benchmark against Bitcoin, not the S&P. That forces us to operate where most funds won’t – in early, undervalued, protocol-level infrastructure. That’s why we’re in Bittensor.”
Why Now, Why Here
This Is the Protocol Moment for AI
Centralized AI is already under scrutiny – for bias, censorship, and control.
Bittensor flips the model. It offers:
- An open network for machine learning
- A native token (TAO) that rewards intelligence
- A rapidly growing subnet ecosystem with real-world utility
- Yield-bearing opportunities via staking and subnet rotation
In 2025:
- Subnets are live and outperforming centralized alternatives
- TAO staking yields range from 15–25% base and 100%+ in some subnets
- Institutional capital is circling, but not yet deployed
