Formerly Web3 Ventures, Orthogonal Group (ticker: OGG) is a unique publicly traded investment vehicle that will be going public September 12th. The vehicle offers exposure to the world of blockchain, cryptocurrency and digital assets using a multistrategy approach that includes venture capital investments, exposure to multiple crypto verticals, and even includes the potential for dividends, all with zero fees and the liquidity advantages of a publicly traded vehicle. Before diving into the specifics of what separates Orthogonal Global Group, let us take a step back and take a look at the investment opportunity at hand with the digital asset space broadly.
Why Digital Assets?
Since the inception of the digital age, numerous technological innovations have reshaped the way we conduct transactions, but perhaps none have been as transformative as the rise of cryptocurrencies. The journey began in 2008 when an anonymous entity known as Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the world to Bitcoin through a white paper. The Bitcoin experiment, in its early days, was met with both skepticism and intrigue. Early adopters viewed Bitcoin as a tool to ensure financial privacy, circumvent centralized control, and combat inflation. By the end of 2017, thousands of other cryptocurrencies, which through natural market forces over time have allowed unique value propositions to emerge. For instance, Ethereum, conceptualized by Vitalik Buterin, introduced the idea of "smart contracts" — self-executing contracts with the terms of agreement written into code — allowing developers to build decentralized applications atop its platform. The introduction of Ethereum would birth numerous applications including borrowing/lending protocols, decentralized exchanges, on-chain derivatives, real world asset tokenization, NFTs, and more.
Today, utilizations of blockchain technology serve a multitude of purposes:
- Provides provable digital scarcity to protect individuals in areas of high inflation
- Provides access to an inclusive financial system for the billions that are unbanked
- Ensures transparency, thus reducing the ability to engage in illicit activities
- Eliminates financial intermediaries for merchants and remittance payments
- Improves capital formation process for organizations
This blockchain future is where we are headed. Crypto base layers and applications have the ability to disrupt enormous amounts of monetary and enterprise value with use cases including store of value, financial infrastructure, payment rails, and even gaming. With the store of value market alone (Precious metals, RE, collectibles, etc.) sitting at a total addressable market in excess of $100 trillion and the total market crypto capitalization resting at just $1.15 trillion, digital assets as a whole offer clear asymmetric upside for investors, should the ecosystem even capture any significant portion of market share throughout areas of potential disruption. We’ve recently seen significant developments in the institutional/mainstream adoption of digital assets including numerous firms filing for Bitcoin ETFs from the likes of Blackrock and Fidelity, PayPal launching its own Ethereum stablecoin on Ethereum, Starbucks launching NFT rewards programs, Google Cloud/AWS/Oracle all launching crypto support, and even the US government testing the waters with the launch of FedNow. With trends of digitization, hyper-financialization, and need for the US govt to continue debasing the dollar over the long term to service nominal debt, the likelihood of these current trends continuing appears to be very high.
However, to get dynamic exposure to the asset class, there are few viable options for an institutional capital allocator. One way to gain exposure to the asset class is through pure Bitcoin or Ethereum exposure, which can include holding BTC/ETH either through a custodian or a self-custody wallet. While this is arguably the purest bet on the industry as it stands today, it lacks the diversified approach that private investments made around individual projects or surrounding infrastructure do. Another way is through venture capital, which offers potential asymmetric returns, but is illiquid and suffers from inefficient capital markets. A third way is through exposure to publicly traded Bitcoin proxy products, which includes MSTR, the BITO Futures ETF, and Grayscale’s GBTC – each come with their own respective downsides including company performance exposure, roll costs, and having no redemption mechanism causing a discount to NAV, high correlation to the underlying BTC. Investors can also gain access to crypto exposure through publicly traded crypto companies such as Bitcoin miners, COIN, and GLXY. However, these public offerings lack the extreme asymmetric return profile that Orthogonal Global Group does at just a $21,100,000 valuation (CAD), as well as the zero fees and potential for dividends.
Orthogonal Global Group sits at the crossroads of what makes each of these respective offerings attractive and offers one of the most dynamic and exciting ways to get crypto exposure through a traditional publicly traded vehicle.

Staking Exposure
The company's value proposition doesn't end there. In a bold move, Web3 Ventures has positioned itself as the inaugural fee-less blockchain investment entity, ensuring that investors reap maximum benefits from their stakes. Furthermore, the fund promises the allure of potential dividends, marrying the dual benefits of immediate income with the prospects of long-term capital growth. This is complemented by a diversified investment approach that spans private financings, public equities, Bitcoin mining, lending, and even the dynamic world of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), ensuring exposure across a spectrum of sectors within the crypto realm.
Risk Management
Risk management remains at the forefront of Orthogonal's strategy. With an unwavering commitment to transparency and robust governance, the company ensures that crypto assets are securely staked by a reputable third-party custodian. This not only bolsters security but also guarantees fair pricing for investors. In a move to enhance liquidity and accessibility, Orthogonal Global Group is set to be publicly listed on the CSE, further solidifying its position in the market.
The Team
The OGG team is an experienced group of institutional investors and executives with an extensive background in navigating financial markets and identifying growth opportunities. Leadership consists of CEO David Nikzad and COO Jason Hobson. David has spent the last 25 years investing in real estate, nightlife, and technology including writing first checks into unicorns such as Betterment, Vidyard, and Ridecell. The board includes Mike Grantis of Contango Digital who provides a perspective of years of experience in crypto investing, Billy Huang of Insomnia Labs who brings not only years of crypto investing experience but a unique creative perspective through Insomnia’s work with NFTs, Brian Johnson of Republic Capital who brings years of investment experience and crypto and deep-tech, Yu-Kai Chou of Octalysys and Metablox who brings the perspective of gamification, and Board Director Eric Baum who has over 25 years of experience across lending, management, and credit analysis during his time at various financial institutions. Other members of the core team include Alyssa Barry of Canadian Capital Markets, Anthony Tijero, Aleksei Mahanov, Kirill Kompaniyets, and CFO James Henning.
The company's strategic approach is underpinned by rigorous research and analysis. Opportunities are not just sourced but are meticulously vetted, ensuring alignment with institutional standards. Every potential investment undergoes a comprehensive review, encompassing intellectual property scrutiny, an assessment of the management team, and an evaluation of product-market fit. This is bolstered by a top-down market analysis and a keen regulatory review, ensuring that investments are both promising and compliant. The core of Orthogonal Global Group's strategy revolves around a tri-pronged allocation decision: passive, active, or venture capital, tailored to maximize returns.
Orthogonal Global Group employs a "top-down" strategy in its approach to crypto investing, a methodology that stands in contrast to the more traditional "bottom-up" tactics. Instead of delving immediately into the intricacies of individual assets or companies, the top-down approach begins with a broader macroeconomic perspective. By analyzing global economic trends, regulatory landscapes, and overarching market sentiments, OGG gauges the larger forces at play that could influence the crypto industry. This holistic view allows the company to identify overarching themes and sectors within the crypto space that are poised for growth, ensuring that investments are aligned with broader market trajectories.
Closing Thoughts
In conclusion, with a unique multi-faceted investment strategy and favorable timing with the total crypto market capitalization still down over 60% from its 2021 highs, in our view Orthogonal Global Group serves as one of the most compelling ways to gain exposure to the rapidly-evolving world of crypto. The offering will be listed on September 12th under ticker OGG at a $21,100,000 valuation on the Canadian Stock Exchange.
