Components of the Strategy

The Alpha Long Biased Strategy employs a dual approach. The first element involves a base position in Bitcoin, which provides exposure to its long-term growth. The second element includes two additional strategies: a momentum market timing strategy and a long-short market selection strategy.

The momentum strategy utilizes machine learning and pattern recognition to adjust exposure dynamically, allowing the strategy to capitalize on short-term market movements. The long-short strategy is powered by an AI-based forecasting model that enables it to create a dollar-neutral portfolio, selecting tokens expected to perform well while shorting those anticipated to underperform. This combination of strategies allows the fund to enhance returns relative to Bitcoin’s price movements.

Performance Review

The Alpha Long Biased Strategy demonstrated exceptional performance, significantly outperforming Bitcoin’s return. By blending Bitcoin’s long-term growth with the two other strategies, the fund generated impressive results. Despite facing a small drawdown towards the end of the year, the strategy proved its strength in capturing value from both stable and volatile market conditions.

Pythagoras also saw positive results from its other funds, with the Arbitrage Strategy generating solid returns and the Quant Long Short Fund performing strongly. The Absolute Return Strategy emerged as the top performer, significantly growing its assets. While the Alpha Long Biased Strategy was one of the smaller funds, it showed that integrating traditional cryptocurrency exposure with advanced AI strategies can result in strong returns.

Pythagoras' Bullish Outlook on Crypto

Pythagoras remains confident in the continued growth of the cryptocurrency market. The firm’s bullish outlook for 2025 is supported by favorable regulatory developments, particularly in the U.S. According to CEO Mitchell Dong, the incoming U.S. administration’s actions, such as the potential creation of a national Bitcoin reserve and the appointment of pro-crypto individuals to key positions, could serve as key catalysts for further market adoption.

Dong also emphasized the growing momentum in Congress, with a significant number of members supporting cryptocurrency-friendly legislation. Additionally, Pythagoras anticipates that other countries may move to accumulate Bitcoin in advance of potential U.S. actions. This geopolitical development, alongside increasing institutional interest in Bitcoin, is expected to drive further growth in the market.

Pythagoras’ outlook for the cryptocurrency sector reflects a strong belief in the continuation of the bull market, driven by a combination of supportive policies and rising demand from both institutional and corporate entities.
