Investment thesis
Ten31 invests at the convergence of bitcoin, energy, and AI. Its thesis holds that AI proliferates abundant intelligence while bitcoin represents finite money, both of which compound demand for energy infrastructure. The firm argues that crypto funds don't understand power, AI investors don't understand bitcoin, and energy funds don't understand technology disruption — positioning Ten31 as uniquely able to invest across all three domains. It organizes its portfolio into three themes: financial/bitcoin services, physical energy and compute infrastructure, and informational data, AI, and security. Ten31 describes itself as patient capital and has been active across these areas since 2020.
