Nomura’s Laser Digital Launches Yield-Bearing Bitcoin Fund

Published at 2026-01-22 11:30:13

Nomura’s Laser Digital announced a new yield-bearing Bitcoin fund on Jan. 22, 2026, designed for institutional investors who want income in addition to price appreciation. The fund is built to deliver returns that exceed those available from vanilla, long-only BTC exposure while keeping core Bitcoin exposure for clients that prioritize institutional-grade access and operational controls.

Why it matters: as institutions hunt for yield in a low-rate environment, a Nomura-backed product could pull additional capital into the Bitcoin market and broaden the set of professional strategies available to allocators. Prospective investors should evaluate the fund’s fee structure and the underlying yield sources—such as lending, derivatives overlays, or active management—to weigh net returns against counterparty and liquidity risks relative to spot BTC holdings.
