A new Czech investment fund is seeking to combine systematic US equity trading with exposure to digital assets as institutional interest in blockchain-related investments continues to develop. Quartum Capital SICAV has launched its Alpha sub-fund for qualified investors, offering the two strategies within a single Czech investment structure.
Quartum Capital was entered in the Czech Commercial Register in June 2026 and is structured as a fund for qualified investors under Czech investment-fund legislation. DELTA Investment Company acts as its manager. Public records identify the Alpha Quartum Capital SICAV sub-fund as part of the structure.
The investment model divides capital between two areas with different market characteristics. One side uses automated models to trade selected shares listed in the United States. The other provides exposure to the blockchain economy through investments in a portfolio of external funds and projects rather than relying exclusively on direct purchases of individual digital currencies.
Quartum says the equity strategy follows predefined mathematical rules, reducing discretionary decisions based on short-term market sentiment. The approach is intended to provide a different source of returns from the blockchain allocation, although automated trading remains exposed to equity-market movements and to the effectiveness of the models on which investment decisions are based.
The digital-asset component is designed to spread exposure across several investments within the wider blockchain sector. This differs from strategies whose performance depends predominantly on the direction of individual cryptocurrencies. Quartum’s objective is to participate across a broader market cycle, although the underlying investments can still involve substantial volatility, liquidity and technology risks.
Risk management and operational security are therefore significant elements of the strategy. The fund says potential blockchain investments are subject to due diligence, while custody arrangements, access permissions and internal controls form part of its approach to protecting assets. These considerations have become increasingly important as digital investments move closer to conventional institutional portfolio management.
Quartum’s founding team combines investment, financial and technology backgrounds. Jan Vašík oversees strategic development and communications, Hoang Minh Vu is responsible for the automated equity system, Marek Pěnička covers finance and controlling, while Martin Míšek contributes experience in network technology and cybersecurity.
The fund is aimed at qualified investors including entrepreneurs, family offices and investors with backgrounds in technology and finance. A CZK 1 million investment can meet the Czech qualified-investor threshold where the required suitability assessment and other statutory conditions are satisfied; Czech law also provides a €125,000 route to qualification.
Quartum’s launch reflects the gradual convergence of conventional asset management with investment strategies built around blockchain technology. Rather than asking investors to manage digital assets themselves or place their entire allocation into a crypto-focused product, the fund is attempting to package blockchain exposure alongside an unrelated quantitative equity strategy within an established Czech fund structure.
As a newly established vehicle, however, Quartum has yet to develop the long performance history that would allow investors to assess how the two strategies behave together through different market conditions. Its longer-term position will therefore depend not only on returns, but also on whether combining systematic equities with digital-asset exposure delivers the diversification and risk characteristics on which the investment proposition is based.
