Short-term drawdown represents a strategic opportunity to utilise funds from recent capital raise to accelerate the growth of the Digital Asset Fund.
-
Strong capital position combined with very low cash market returns sees DigitalX seeking higher returns on investment.
DigitalX Limited (the Company ), is pleased to update the market that the Company has resolved to make a further strategic investment into the DigitalX Digital Asset Fund up to A$750,000.
DigitalX Digital Asset Funds
DigitalX is the investment manager of digital asset investment products that provide qualified investors with a secure and accessible way to invest in Bitcoin and the digital asset sector.
The DigitalX Digital Asset Fund was the Company’s first established fund and is a traditional investment vehicle that invests in a diversified portfolio of leading digital assets. The DigitalX Digital Asset Fund enables investors to easily invest in these emerging technologies without the administrative challenges of acquiring and holding these digital assets.
Since inception, the Digital Asset Fund has delivered exceptional performance with the last reported NAV at A$3.72, from an initial launch of A$1.00. Despite a significant drawdown in the price of Bitcoin, which has seen a near US$1 trillion reduction in the total market capitalisation of the asset class during May, the DigitalX Digital Asset Fund is, as at the date of this announcement, positioned to outperform the broader market for the month of April 2021.
Rationale and Process for Investment
The DigitalX Digital Asset Fund has driven strong asset price appreciation for DigitalX since inception, as well as for all investors in the Fund. The Board has continued to monitor the performance of the Digital Asset Fund and the markets generally and has resolved that the recent pull back in prices of digital assets generally represents an opportunity for the Company to double its investment into the Digital Asset Fund.
