"In a historic defensive move, Sigil Fund liquidated 100% of its BTC and ETH holdings and de-risked 40% of its portfolio in Q4 2025 to weather structural market headwinds, ending the year with capital preserved and ready for selective deep-value opportunities."
Executive Summary
Sigil Fund's Q4 2025 letter outlines a defensive masterclass. Facing macroeconomic turbulence and structural market cracks—including massive supply overhangs, weak value-capture mechanisms, and the decoupling of Bitcoin from traditional safe havens—Sigil Core de-risked 40% of its portfolio, reducing its BTC and ETH holdings to zero for the first time in history. Despite a difficult Q4 return of -22.31% USD for Sigil Core, the fund limited its FY2025 decline to just -1.25% USD. Meanwhile, Sigil Stable achieved an 11.29% USD return for the full year. The managers highlight strategic opportunities in high-conviction structural areas like Canton (institutional blockchain), OnRe Finance (on-chain reinsurance), and the newly launched perpetual DEX challenger, Lighter (LIT), maintaining a patient, long-term capital preservation posture.
