Investment thesis
DFG operates as a permanent-capital family office with Bitcoin as its foundational conviction and technical research as its edge. It takes concentrated positions in protocols and companies building decentralized infrastructure, favoring a multi-generational time horizon over the LP mandates and exit timelines that constrain traditional funds. The firm targets top-tier teams with strong growth potential, dynamically adapting strategy to the macro environment and applying a geographical philosophy to investment decisions. Since 2015 it has backed over 160 companies and protocols globally, spanning foundational infrastructure across the Web3 and digital-asset ecosystem.
