Laser Digital Asset Management Launches Upgraded Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund

  • The ‘Laser Digital Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP’ targets excess returns on top of BTC performance  
  • The Fund will be the world’s first natively tokenised Bitcoin Yield Fund through KAIO and will be custodied by Komainu  
  • The Fund seeks to actively monetize carry-like investment opportunities across market-neutral arbitrages, lending, and options 

DUBAI, UAE | 22 JAN 2026  – The Asset Management division of Nomura’s digital assets subsidiary, Laser Digital, has announced the launch of its upgraded tokenised Bitcoin-based Fund for institutional and eligible accredited investors. The Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP (“BDYF” or the “Fund”) combines growth and income strategies to generate a stream of excess returns on top of Bitcoin performance.  

Launched as an upgrade to the existing Bitcoin Adoption Fund (launched in 2023 well before the first Bitcoin ETFs), the Fund is the first of its kind natively tokenised Cayman BTC yield fund. Structurally, it is designed to offer a long-term, long-only exposure to Bitcoin, combined with, among others, diversified market-neutral strategies generating a yield as a stream of income. The Fund relies on tier-1 regulated service providers, with KAIO acting as exclusive tokenisation provider and Komainu acting as the main custodian of the Fund.  

On the launch of the Fund, Jez Mohideen, Co-founder and CEO of Laser Digital, said:

Recent market volatility has shown that yield-bearing, market neutral funds built on calculated DeFi strategies are the natural evolution of crypto asset management. As an early entrant to this space, the launch of Laser Digital’s upgraded Bitcoin fund allows us to maintain our position and capitalise on the next phase of DeFi, while servicing the needs of Bitcoin holders as well as existing and new institutional investors entering the market. 

Sebastien GugliettaHead of Laser Digital Asset Management, added

Bitcoin – a store of capital, is a decentralized hard money backed by energylike gold. But unlike fiat currencies or stablecoins, it doesn’t provide a yield. Our fund strategy addresses this by seeking to offer a sustainable yield for long-term Bitcoin holders. 

The Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund is among the actively managed funds by Laser Digital Asset Management, with the others being the Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF) and the Multi Strategy Fund (MSF).

For Accredited Investors Only: 

The Fund is open only to certain accredited investors in eligible jurisdictions (non-US), with a minimum subscription amount of US $250,000 in USD or BTC-equivalent.
