Introducing Ten31

Investing in Bitcoin-native companies. Founded and backed by Bitcoiners.

Our Mission: To facilitate the freedom of mankind through individual sovereignty.

Ten31 was formed by Bitcoiners looking to support the Bitcoin ecosystem by investing in Bitcoin-native companies building the world’s future infrastructure.

There are plenty of VC funds and ‘crypto funds’. Ten31 is neither. We are Bitcoiners supporting Bitcoiners. We believe there is an imbalance in the market of equity capital directed to support Bitcoin-only companies relative to the significant attention and amount of capital being deployed in ‘crypto’ and ‘DeFi.’ Bitcoin-only still remains somewhat of a contrarian view. In addition, among Bitcoin maximalists it is common to argue BTC will outperform all other investments (including equity investments in Bitcoin companies) and thus the argument you are better off to HODL.

With Ten31 we have formed our first fund, Low Time Preference Fund I, to actively support and invest in exciting Bitcoin companies. Ten31 will invest in the equity of Bitcoin-native companies and will also hold BTC directly.

Our Thesis:

Our Vision:

We believe founders and companies will welcome the involvement and support from like-minded investors like Ten31. We are not an incumbent VC and will not be taking an institutional approach to participating across other technology sectors. We are singularly focused on Bitcoin and have named our platform Ten31 after the date of Satoshi’s whitepaper. The Ten31 logo is a hat tip to the proof of work diagram within it. The fund name, Low Time Preference Fund I, embodies a long term philosophy and investment for the future, all of which is more natural with a sound money like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is one of the most important things to ever happen to us personally. We have been passionate Bitcoiners for quite some time, have been feeling the gravitational pull of Bitcoin, and now feel compelled to dedicate ourselves to supporting the ecosystem given its importance to future generations.

We share the same philosophy and worldview about Bitcoin as many who are dedicating their lives to building companies in the space. Bitcoin has the potential to reshape the world and humanity for the better. This singular focus has already resonated with founders, and we are excited to continue backing interesting and exciting companies and their founders, employees and ideas.

Initial Portfolio

Going forward, we expect to focus on a number of areas within the Bitcoin ecosystem, including:
