TAO Synergies Inc. (Nasdaq: TAOX), a publicly traded digital asset treasury company focused on the Bittensor ecosystem, has announced an initial $750,000 investment in Yuma Asset Management’s Bittensor Subnet Funds, marking a significant expansion of its exposure to decentralized network assets.
The move deepens TAO Synergies’ position within Bittensor, where it already holds more than 60,000 staked TAO tokens, making it the largest publicly listed holder of the asset. The new allocation will be split evenly between the Yuma Subnet Composite Fund and the Yuma Large Cap Subnet Fund, both designed to track growth and performance across Bittensor’s active subnets.
James Altucher, Digital Asset Treasury Strategist at TAO Synergies, described the investment as part of a layered strategy to compound returns within the Bittensor ecosystem.
“We’re investing in Yuma’s subnet funds because they offer a smart, low-friction way to amplify our TAO holdings with targeted exposure to the ecosystem’s real innovators,” Altucher said. “It’s about compounding value across the entire network—staking TAO for base rewards, then layering on subnet alpha to supercharge growth.”
Yuma Asset Management, backed by Digital Currency Group (DCG) and founded by Barry Silbert, manages a suite of subnet-focused investment vehicles aimed at institutional investors. The firm previously secured a $10 million anchor investment from DCG at launch.
Silbert praised the partnership, noting that TAO Synergies’ participation validates the emerging subnet asset class.
“TAO Synergies, a trailblazer in public-market exposure to decentralized AI, shares our conviction that Bittensor will reshape the future of technology,” Silbert said. “Their investment strengthens our mission to create institutional pathways into this new market.”
The Yuma Subnet Composite Fund provides diversified exposure across all active subnets in the Bittensor network—similar to how the Nasdaq Composite reflects broad market growth—while the Yuma Large Cap Subnet Fund targets top-performing subnets driving innovation in areas like coding, inference, fraud detection, and prediction markets.
Yuma’s subnet funds are designed to offer institutional and accredited investors a managed entry point into decentralized computing and intelligence markets, without the complexity of operating subnet infrastructure or managing multiple tokens directly.
The investment highlights a growing institutional interest in Bittensor, which has evolved into one of the most active decentralized networks in crypto. With both TAO Synergies and Yuma positioning themselves at the forefront of subnet finance, the partnership signals another step toward mainstream accessibility for Bittensor’s ecosystem.
