Hivemind Capital Announces Launch of the Hivemind Equity Access Fund

New vehicle builds on Hivemind's public equities track record since 2022, giving institutional investors focused exposure to blockchain and AI infrastructure companies

NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hivemind Capital, a global investment group operating at the intersection of traditional finance and frontier technology, today announced the upcoming launch of the Hivemind Equity Access Fund. The fund is an equity long/short strategy investing in public companies that are building and powering blockchain and AI infrastructure.  The launch follows the recent strategic investment in Hivemind by M&G Investments, underscoring growing institutional interest in specialist investment platforms focused on these sectors.

The Fund builds on a strategy Hivemind has managed within its existing multi-strategy fund structure since 2022, now offered as a dedicated vehicle for institutional investors. It invests on both a long and short basis across public companies that have a focus on blockchain and adjacent AI infrastructure, from exchanges, custodians and miners, to the power, compute and technology providers that support them.

Despite their growing role in public markets, many of these companies remain under-covered by traditional equity research and can be difficult for generalist investors to underwrite. Hivemind has managed strategies across the liquidity spectrum in the sector  and built critical tech solutions in the space, such as a staking platform and portfolio management system. That expertise puts the firm in a unique position to take advantage of this meaningful opportunity and provide investors with access to a market where specialist knowledge is still scarce.

The Fund pairs a quantitative approach with bottom-up fundamental research – featuring a proprietary risk framework designed to adjust net exposure as market conditions change, as well as a hedging overlay designed to reduce downside volatility. The platform also benefits from relationships and insights developed through its venture activities, including its collaboration with UC Berkeley focused on blockchain technology and AI infrastructure.

"Since this strategy launched in 2022, we've watched blockchain and AI infrastructure companies go from a niche corner of the market to a meaningful part of public equity portfolios," said Matt Zhang, Founder and Managing Partner, Hivemind Capital. "The Equity Access Fund brings the conviction and discipline we've applied to this sector for years into a vehicle built for institutional allocators, at an extremely interesting timing of the market. It offers exposure to the companies building the next generation of financial and compute infrastructure, with the risk management those investors expect."

"This is a sector where specialist knowledge matters," said Richard Skeet, Managing Partner and Head of Trading, Hivemind Capital. "Our team works across the blockchain ecosystem every day, trading token markets and underwriting mining operations down to the power contracts and cooling. The same economics sit behind every AI data center. We believe this gives us a perspective on public equities in this sector that's hard to replicate from the outside."

The launch comes as institutional engagement with AI and blockchain technology continues to deepen, supported by clearer regulatory frameworks in major jurisdictions, growth in the number of available publicly traded names in the universe, and rising allocations generally to these names by institutional allocators. By moving this long/short strategy into a dedicated investment vehicle, Hivemind aims to give institutional investors direct access to a disciplined, research-led way to participate in that growth.
