Historical reference: Strix Leviathan no longer operates as an independent digital asset investment manager following its acquisition by Parataxis Capital Management. In its acquisition announcement, Strix said Parataxis would begin managing its funds on February 1, 2025, with its chief investment officer transitioning to Parataxis. The former Strix funds continued under Parataxis, as reflected in a 2026 filing for the renamed Parataxis Nautilus Fund. This page is retained for historical reference to the original firm; the classification does not mean Parataxis or the successor funds ceased operating.
