Anthony Scaramucci’s hedge fund SkyBridge Capital filed documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Monday for what appears to be its first bitcoin fund.

The $9.2 billion asset manager filed a Form D for “SkyBridge Bitcoin Fund L.P.,” a private securities offering open only to accredited investors buying at least $50,000. The fund’s strategy and means of exposure were unavailable at press time.

SkyBridge granted two of its funds permission to “seek exposure to digital assets” in mid-November without specifically mentioning bitcoin. Since then, fund founder Anthony Scaramucci, who became known to broader public during his 11-day tenure as White House communications director for President Donald Trump, has further dabbled in bitcoin rhetoric through conversations with MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor.

The Monday filings reveal SkyBridge has a newfound interest in chasing the oldest cryptocurrency more directly.
 
Back in the day when Berkshire Hathaway only traded in A shares, the shares got too bit pricey for many smaller investors, so this fund manager comes up with the brilliant idea to launch a fund that solely invested in Berkshire A shares in order to allow small mom & pop investors a chance to have a piece of Berkshire via his fund.

For this kindly duty, he charged a 2% management fee.

Legend has it that Buffett caught wind of this, and immediately decided to create the B-class shares, which traded at a fraction of the price of the A shares.

what could possibly go wrong?

Most likely nothing.

CNBC interview broke it down, this fund will have management fee of 75 basis points and trade very close to NAV compared to GBTC 2% and up to 30% over NAV at times.

It's also being marketed to the HNW for a small percentage allocation with possible asymmetric returns.
