New fund enables a single allocation to broad AI infrastructure and application-layer exposure across the Bittensor ecosystem

STAMFORD, Conn.: Yuma, a subsidiary of Digital Currency Group (DCG) today announced the launch of the Yuma Total Market Fund, a new strategy designed to give institutional allocators and accredited investors broad exposure to early-stage AI infrastructure and application-layer technologies through a single, institutionally managed vehicle.

The Yuma Total Market Fund marks the third strategy delivered through Yuma Asset Management, which provides Bittensor-focused, institutional-grade risk management, execution, and reporting within allocator-aligned investment structures.

For many institutional portfolios, exposure to AI today is concentrated in large-cap public equities or illiquid venture investments. Yuma’s new fund is designed for investors seeking asymmetric upside from the next wave of AI innovation, outside of traditional public and private markets.

The Yuma Total Market Fund provides exposure to TAO, the native token of the Bittensor network, and to the network’s ecosystem of subnets in a single strategy. This approach enables investors to participate in the broader Bittensor ecosystem through a single allocation. The fund offers broader Bittensor ecosystem exposure than Yuma’s existing funds, and has secured seed capital from an anchor investor at launch.

“Most investment in AI is being funneled into a few, centralized incumbents that are now attempting to enter the public markets,” said Barry Silbert, Founder and CEO of Yuma and DCG. “Bittensor is the alternative: an open, decentralized network shaped by the builders and innovators on the leading edge of AI development. We are offering investors structured and direct exposure to the network economics and vast ecosystem built on it.”

Bittensor is an open-source, decentralized network that supports the development and coordination of AI infrastructure and applications through specialized subnetworks, or “subnets,” each focused on building a distinct AI product. Bittensor currently supports 128 subnets with over $900M in collective subnet asset value.

These subnets represent a broad range of emerging AI infrastructure and applications, including physical hardware, identity and verification systems, data and model marketplaces, and applications for specialty use cases such as fraud detection, drug discovery, and real-time video analysis. Subnets can compete with traditional commercial offerings on price and performance, including frontier models in a variety of industrial domains.

The new fund from Yuma Asset Management expands its platform of open-source AI-focused investment vehicles for institutional and accredited investors, which now includes:

• Yuma Total Market Fund: Full-ecosystem Bittensor exposure across TAO and subnets
• Yuma Subnet Composite Fund: Market-cap–weighted exposure to all subnets
• Yuma Large Cap Subnet Fund: Targeted exposure to the largest subnets
