| Weekly updates | 4 seen

On October 19, 2023, the Terramatris crypto fund reached a total value of $102.68, posting a weekly increase of $9.82—a gain of 10.58% for the week.

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 net outperformance versus the two main benchmarks that week.

| Weekly updates | 7 seen

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).

In the broader crypto market, Bitcoin closed around $43,764.90 on October 10, 2023, providing supportive macro tailwinds for crypto-linked exposure. The same period saw Ethereum also trading strongly (exact daily close can be verified via historical data sources such as…

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 sharp moves in assets beyond BTC and ETH.

Ethereum (ETH) played a key role in boosting market confidence during this week. Prices rose steadily as ETH reclaimed territory above the $1,600 mark, driven by both technical momentum and favorable sentiment. The asset appeared to be forming a solid base after a choppy late-summer period, suggesting that a more stable accumulation phase was underway.

Developers also continued to roll out improvements tied to Ethereum's post-Merge roadmap, further bolstering long-term investor confidence. Layer 2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism gained traction, adding to the narrative that Ethereum’s ecosystem remained…

| Weekly updates | 21 seen

As of September 7, 2023, the Terramatris Crypto Fund’s value climbed to $35.89, up from $33.66 the previous week. This represents a $2.23 gain, or 6.63% week-over-week growth. 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 were cash-secured, low-premium trades, often collecting just a few cents per contract, but executed frequently and with high precision. The goal was to generate consistent micro-income while keeping…

Episode 1 / Our First Profitable Trade – $5.38 from Ethereum Credit Spreads

| Weekly updates | 23 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, allowing us to pocket the premium. The $5.38 in net profit reflects precise risk management with defined outcomes.

We started with a vision: to build a crypto-native fund that blends traditional…
