BTCAI·Bitcoin AI Strategy ETP

Bitcoin when it runs.
Cash when it crashes.

We combine the return potential of Bitcoin with AI and put Bitcoin market volatility to targeted use. Emotions often lead to poor investment decisions. That's why BTCAI is AI-powered and rules-based. The strategy is adjusted to market conditions every month.

The biggest problem with Bitcoin isn't getting in. It's staying in.

Many people understand Bitcoin. Yet extreme volatility triggers behavioral mistakes that cost more return than the market itself.

Fear

Price declines trigger emotional stress that leads to impulsive decisions.

Selling at the wrong moment

Many investors sell exactly when the loss is greatest and the recovery is closest.

Missing the recovery

Investors who exit after a crash often miss the strongest recovery phases that follow shortly after.

Rino Borini
"One question kept coming up in our community: how can you participate in Bitcoin without bearing every correction in full? That question became BTCAI."

Rino Borini · Founder, House of Satoshi · Switzerland's best-known digital finance, Bitcoin and crypto expert · Lecturer, HWZ Zurich · Two-time BILANZ Digital Shaper

Bitcoin, yes. But not the whole rollercoaster.

01

Being part of it

I'm convinced Bitcoin will rise over the long term. I want to be part of it.

02

Sleeping better

But I don't want to bear the full brunt of 60, 70 or 80 percent drawdowns. Volatility comes with the territory, just not on that scale.

03

Not trading myself

I don't want to study charts or time the market. That should be handled by a rules-based model that works systematically and without emotion.

That's exactly what BTCAI is built for. When Bitcoin rises, capital stays invested. When the market moves sideways or turns, the AI reduces the Bitcoin allocation and allocates up to 80% to cash, a price-neutral US dollar position.

An AI analyzes market data.
Updated every month.

BTCAI is powered by the model developed by Aisot, an ETH spin-off. Several AI models estimate Bitcoin's return potential and its uncertainty. This produces a signal for the weighting between Bitcoin and US dollar cash.

Step 1

Estimate return and risk

Multiple AI models analyze market, news and macro data to estimate Bitcoin's future return potential. At the same time, the uncertainty of the forecast is taken into account.

Step 2

Weight Bitcoin and US dollar cash

The AI signal feeds into a quantitative optimization model. This determines the weighting between Bitcoin and US dollar cash. The US dollar cash allocation can be as high as 80%.

Step 3

Rebalance monthly

The calculated weighting is implemented once a month. Rules-based, with no discretionary intervention.

The technical foundation explained

+

The model.

Several independently trained AI models estimate Bitcoin's future return potential. They draw on a range of information from financial markets, news, macroeconomic indicators and other data sources.

Alongside the expected return, the uncertainty of the forecast is also factored in. The result is a signal that captures both the expected development and the risk involved.

The optimization.

The AI signal feeds into a quantitative optimization model based on the Black-Litterman approach. Expected return and risk are considered together to determine the weighting between Bitcoin and US dollar cash.

Depending on market conditions, the US dollar cash allocation can be increased to as much as 80%. The remainder is invested in Bitcoin.

The implementation.

The calculated weighting is implemented once a month. The portfolio is realigned on a rules basis, with no discretionary intervention.

This allows BTCAI to be more heavily invested in Bitcoin when return expectations are attractive, and to increase the US dollar cash allocation when risk rises.

Swiss Value Chain.
Every party based in Switzerland.

No offshore structure, a Swiss value chain with clear collateral instead.

Real Bitcoin and cash, no replication

Real Bitcoin and US dollar cash, no replication via derivatives or swaps. No additional counterparty risk.

🔒

Safely held in custody at Swissquote

Assets are held separately from the issuer's own assets, in custody at the Swiss bank Swissquote.

100% physically collateralized

Every unit is fully backed by the underlying assets (fully collateralized).

What investors ask us most

Can the AI prevent losses?

+

No. Bitcoin remains volatile, and even with BTCAI, losses up to a total loss are possible. The strategy adjusts the Bitcoin allocation on a rules basis to reduce risk in certain market phases. However, it cannot prevent losses.

Why not simply buy and hold Bitcoin?

+

Buy and hold is a proven strategy for many investors. But it also means bearing every upward and downward move of the Bitcoin market in full.

BTCAI takes a different approach. The strategy is designed to work with Bitcoin's typical price swings through a clearly defined, rules-based mechanism. Depending on market conditions, the allocation shifts between Bitcoin and US dollar cash, with the aim of limiting steep declines and being reinvested once the market recovers.

BTCAI is designed for investors who want to participate in Bitcoin over the long term while relying on a systematic investment process, straightforward exchange access, and professional custody. A management fee applies for implementing the strategy. Outperformance versus a classic buy-and-hold strategy, however, cannot be guaranteed.

What is the difference between a Bitcoin ETP and a Bitcoin ETF?

+

The most important difference is the legal structure. An ETF is a fund. Its assets are treated as segregated assets and are legally separate from the assets of the fund company. An ETP, by contrast, is a collateralized debt security. On the SIX Swiss Exchange, however, crypto ETPs must be fully collateralized at all times. For BTCAI, the underlying assets are additionally held in custody at the FINMA-regulated Swissquote Bank. In everyday terms, the two products differ little for investors: both are bought and sold through a regular securities account.

How can I invest in Bitcoin without managing a wallet?

+

With BTCAI, you invest through your existing securities account at your bank or broker. No wallet, no private keys, and no crypto exchange needed. Custody and trading are handled through regulated Swiss financial institutions.

What is a backtest, and how reliable is it?

+

A backtest shows how a strategy would have performed based on historical market data. It helps in understanding how it works and how it behaves under risk. However, it does not allow any conclusions about future performance.

Where is the Bitcoin held, and how safe is the product?

+

On the SIX Swiss Exchange, exchange-traded products must be fully collateralized at all times. For BTCAI, the underlying assets are held not by the issuer but at the FINMA-regulated Swissquote Bank. This significantly reduces issuer risk.

Is real Bitcoin purchased, or is this synthetic?

+

Yes. Real Bitcoin is held for the Bitcoin portion. BTCAI does not replicate the strategy synthetically via derivatives or swaps. The underlying assets are held in custody at the FINMA-regulated Swissquote Bank.

What happens if a party defaults?

+

On the SIX Swiss Exchange, exchange-traded products must be fully collateralized at all times. For BTCAI, the pledged assets are held not by the issuer but at the FINMA-regulated Swissquote Bank. This significantly reduces issuer risk in the event of insolvency. The exact provisions are set out in the Termsheet.

Can I buy and sell the ETP during trading hours?

+

Yes. After listing, BTCAI can be traded every trading day on the SIX Swiss Exchange, just like a stock or an ETF. All you need is a securities account. An official market maker continuously provides bid and ask prices.

Why doesn't the strategy protect against every crash?

+

The strategy is adjusted monthly. It can therefore mainly respond to prolonged downward and sideways phases. Rapid market crashes within hours or days cannot be fully avoided this way.

Return and Risk Compared

Backtest, returns before product costs and taxes.

Risk notice: These figures are based on a backtest using historical market data. Simulated or past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Bitcoin investments carry substantial risks, including total loss.

* A negative Sharpe Ratio does not allow for a relative risk comparison between investment products.

Opportunities and risks, without sugarcoating.

A Bitcoin investment remains a Bitcoin investment. Risk management changes the strategy's behavior, not the fundamental nature of Bitcoin.

Opportunities

  • Participation in Bitcoin's long-term upward movements.
  • Historically smaller drawdowns than Bitcoin alone (see backtest below).
  • Full transparency on costs, structure and custody.
  • Tradable every trading day like a stock, through your regular securities account.

Risks

  • Bitcoin remains volatile. Losses up to a total loss are possible, even with this strategy.
  • The AI does not prevent losses, it adjusts the Bitcoin allocation on a rules basis.
  • Model risk: a backtest shows the past, not a guarantee for the future.
  • Counterparty risk: the issuer, custodian and guarantor are real institutions.

Management fee

Covers strategy, administration, trading and custody, built into the price. No separate invoice.

10%

Performance fee with high-water mark

Charged only on gains, and only on those above the product's previous high.

What does high-water mark mean?

+

The high-water mark is the benchmark set at the highest level reached so far: the performance fee applies only to the portion above it. If the product rises from 100 to 120, the 10% fee applies to the 20 points of gain. If it then falls to 90 and recovers to 120, nothing happens on the fee side. Only once it rises above the previous high does a fee apply again. We only earn more when you earn new money.

What's in it for me as an investor?

When Bitcoin rises

Fully invested.

In an uptrend, the strategy is heavily invested in Bitcoin.

When the market moves sideways or falls

The strategy reduces risk.

The Bitcoin allocation is reduced, with up to 80% moving into cash (US dollar). The goal: limit losses during weak phases and keep capital ready to increase Bitcoin exposure again once the market recovers.

Everything to read up on

Before any investment, it pays to know the details. The factsheet gives you the overview, the termsheet is the legal foundation.

How the subscription works

Before BTCAI lists on SIX, there is a subscription period. During this phase, units can be subscribed for at the issue price of CHF 100 per unit. After that, the ETP is tradable every trading day on the exchange. The main advantage: you're in from day one, often without the issue premiums or initial bid-ask spread that can occur at listing.

1

Subscription period · 24.08. to 02.10.2026

Submit your subscription amount to your bank/broker

During this window, you tell your bank or broker the amount you'd like to invest at the issue price of CHF 100 per unit. Provide your bank/broker with the symbol BTCAI or ISIN CH1413567624. That's your only active step.

It's best to download the termsheet right away and send it to your bank along with the amount you'd like to invest.

Fixing · 02.10.2026

The key date for launch

The fixing date determines whether the product launches. This requires subscriptions of at least CHF 1 million. From here, everything happens automatically, there's nothing more for you to do. Two outcomes are possible:

Yes, volume reached

The product is issued. Your amount is debited, and the units are booked into your account. You're invested.

No, volume not reached

No launch, and no debit to your account: the product will not be launched. The process ends here.

From the first trading day

Tradable every day on SIX

From 6 October 2026, you can buy and sell BTCAI during trading hours on the SIX Swiss Exchange, just like a stock. A securities account is all you need.
