BOLD

Well-established inflation hedge

Gold is the physical inflation hedge while BTC is the digital inflation hedge. Both can act as a store of value when traditional currency is losing value. An investment in BOLD is a way for investors to gain access to a diversified inflation hedge that may perform well in varying economic conditions.

Risk-adjusted weighting

BOLD's risk-adjusted weighting scheme is rebalanced monthly to provide an optimal blend of underlying assets: gold provides safety in a storm while Bitcoin captures the growth of a digital economy.

100% physically backed

BOLD is 100% physically backed by the underlying assets. The underlying gold is kept in institutional-grade custody by JP Morgan in London. The underlying Bitcoin is kept in cold storage by an institutional-grade custodian offering greater protection than custody options available to individual investors.

Well-designed index

The Vinter Bytetree BOLD1 Inverse Volatility Index ("BOLD1") contains bitcoin and gold, weighted such that an equal amount of risk is invested into both assets. The more volatile bitcoin is (relative to gold) the lower the target weight in bitcoin. Periodic rebalancing brings the current weight to the target weights.
