On November 30, 2023, the Terramatris crypto fund reached a total value of $249.75, marking a weekly increase of $25.31—a gain of 11.28% for the week.
In plain terms: this was another strong compounding week, pushing the fund deeper into the mid-$200 range while keeping returns firmly in double digits.
Late 2023 market commentary frequently pointed to spot Bitcoin ETF optimism as a key driver of sentiment, alongside a broader easing of “tail risk” in crypto markets. Grayscale’s November 2023 market note specifically highlights ETF optimism as a major narrative and discusses a…

| 8 seen
On November 16, 2023, the Terramatris crypto fund reached a total value of $187.83, marking a weekly increase of $24.61—a gain of 15.08%.
In early November 2023, Bitcoin’s move above $37,000 was widely framed as being driven by spot Bitcoin ETF optimism.
By Nov 16, however, the CoinMarketCap snapshot shows BTC slightly down on a 7-day basis and ETH down more sharply—i.e., the market was no longer in a straight-line rally across majors.
Against that backdrop, the fund’s +15.08% stands out as performance that wasn’t simply “the market went up."

Late October 2023’s rally was widely tied to spot Bitcoin ETF optimism, with reporting noting Bitcoin’s surge to around $35,000 as markets priced in a higher likelihood of ETF approval.
Week 11 is a clean “compounding” week: Terramatris rose to $140.64 (+13.40%) while BTC moved modestly higher and ETH was essentially flat on the 7-day measure—meaning the fund’s gain likely came from portfolio specifics rather than a simple BTC/ETH beta lift.…

A major theme in mid-October 2023 was spot Bitcoin ETF speculation, including a widely reported episode where Bitcoin spiked toward $30,000 on a false claim of ETF approval and then pulled back after it was denied/retracted.
Terramatris delivered a clean +10.58% weekly gain while the broader market was positive—especially BTC. With BTC up ~7.34% and ETH up ~1.81%, Terramatris’ move to $102.68 represents continued compounding and…

On October 12, 2023, the TerraM Multi-Asset Fund reached $92.86, delivering a +15.45% increase compared to the previous week. .
This weekly jump is notable because it reflects performance across a diversified basket rather than a single high-beta bet. Weeks like this are useful “marker dates” in a fund’s history: they help separate sustainable process-driven performance from noise, and they provide clean reference points for later attribution (what contributed vs. what simply moved with the market).

On September 28, 2023, the Terramatris crypto fund reached a total value of $64.21, marking a weekly increase of $11.72—an impressive rise of approximately 22.35%.
On the same day, Bitcoin (BTC) closed at $27,046.93, representing a 2.6% gain from the previous day
Terramatris’s remarkable weekly gain well outpaced Bitcoin’s daily gains and suggests the fund benefited from strong momentum among altcoins or other smaller-cap holdings.
This level of performance may indicate that the fund’s diversified crypto strategy paid off during that week, potentially capturing…

While more moderate than last week’s exponential jump, this steady climb reinforces the compounding potential of disciplined, low-risk strategies. As the fund grows beyond its initial low base, absolute changes begin to reflect more sustainable patterns rather than extreme volatility.
Throughout the week, the fund primarily focused on selling 1-day-to-expiry (1DTE) put options on ETH and occasionally BTC. These…

As of August 31, 2023, the Terramatris Crypto Fund's value surged to $33.66, an increase of $28.28 from the previous week, marking a remarkable 525.65% growth. This substantial percentage increase is primarily due to the fund's modest starting value of just over $5 in the prior week, illustrating how smaller portfolios can experience significant percentage swings with relatively minor absolute changes.
During this period, the broader cryptocurrency market experienced notable movements:

| 33 seen
On August 24, 2023, just two days after launching our fund from scratch, we earned our very first profit — a modest yet meaningful $5.38 from selling credit spreads on Ethereum.
While the amount might seem small to outsiders, for us it represents something far greater: validation. It confirms that the engine works, that the strategy can generate income, and that even from day one, we're on the path toward a scalable, rules-based options strategy.
We sold a credit spread on Ethereum, expecting price stability within a specific range. The trade expired worthless for the buyer,…
