Arthur Hayes outlines hard-asset portfolio, mixing commodity equities, BTC, ETH, ZEC, HYPE and physical gold.
- Hayes’ equity book spans gold, silver, copper and uranium miners, major oil producers, defense stocks and Latin American energy names, positioned for inflation and geopolitical risk.
- His crypto stack includes BTC, ETH, ZEC and HYPE, combining large-cap “monetary” assets with a privacy play and a DeFi/perps bet tied to Hyperliquid.
- Hayes also holds physical gold, reinforcing a barbell between commodities, energy and crypto aimed at protecting against monetary debasement and macro shocks.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes disclosed details of his investment portfolio, revealing holdings that span commodity-linked equities, cryptocurrencies, and physical gold, according to a statement shared by Hayes.
The portfolio includes positions in gold, silver, and copper mining companies; uranium mining firms; major oil producers; defense-related stocks; and Latin American energy companies, Hayes stated. The equity allocation focuses on commodity producers and sectors associated with inflationary environments, geopolitical developments, and energy supply dynamics.
In digital assets, Hayes reported holdings in bitcoin, ethereum, Zcash, and HYPE. The cryptocurrency allocation includes large-capitalization assets as well as smaller-cap positions, according to the disclosure.
Hayes also confirmed ownership of physical gold, adding tangible asset exposure to the portfolio alongside digital and equity holdings.
The allocation represents a combination of commodity and energy equities on one side and cryptocurrency assets on the other, with physical gold serving as an additional component. The structure indicates diversification beyond digital assets into traditional commodity-related investments.
Hayes encouraged others to share their investment positions, characterizing the disclosure as a contribution to broader market discussion rather than investment advice, according to his statement.
BitMEX, a cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, was co-founded by Hayes in 2014. The platform has been among the most prominent venues for bitcoin derivatives trading.
