50T Funds

50T Funds is a growth equity firm that invests exclusively in private companies within the digital asset ecosystem. Founded in 2021 by Dan Tapiero, the firm targets mature, revenue-generating category leaders rather than early-stage ventures, structuring its strategies to give institutional investors exposure to growth-stage digital asset businesses while seeking to limit volatility and downside risk. Investment activity combines sector expertise with price discipline, structured downside protection and active governance.

The firm operates through 50T Holdings, LLC and 10T Holdings, LLC, both SEC-registered investment advisers, under a unified 50T brand. Portfolio interest spans blockchain infrastructure, custody technology, trading systems, payments technology, tokenization, stablecoins and decentralized finance, alongside adjacent areas including exchanges, lending, compliance and asset management.

Ownership is active rather than passive: the firm takes board positions and participates in the governance of portfolio companies. The stated approach pairs structured downside protection with involvement in company decision-making, consistent with an institutional orientation that prioritises risk management alongside growth-stage returns.
