SkyBridge: ‘Bitcoin is digital gold’
In its brochure touting the bitcoin fund, the firm laid out the appeal of bitcoin to investors.
“Bitcoin is digital gold,” it reads. “It is better at being gold than gold.”
The brochure describes bitcoin as an emerging asset class that has become less risky in recent years, with attractive supply-and-demand dynamics. Bitcoin has had increasing retail and institutional adoption, the brochure notes, calling current low interest rates and “unprecedented money printing” contributors to the premium being placed on “scarce assets like gold, real estate, art and bitcoin.”

One page of the brochure highlights “Bitcoin respectability: Wall Street embraces bitcoin” featuring quotes from executives at firms such as BlackRock and banks such as Citibank and JPMorgan.
According to the brochure, SkyBridge believes hedge funds, public company treasurers, insurance companies, pension funds, banks and brokerage firms will also be investing in the space.
“You have to accept whether bitcoin is a store of value or not,” said Scaramucci, one of the founders of SkyBridge, in a recent interview on CNBC. “There are still skeptics out there and that’s why I think we’re in the first inning. But after the research we’ve done ... and given the monetary supply and the global central banking coordination right now, this will be a very strong asset class over the next decade.”
