NEW: Bitcoin mining firm Braiins has acquired CFTC-registered commodity asset manager CAMMS Capital.

The deal brings together 15+ years of Bitcoin mining experience with decades of commodity risk management expertise.

Braiins says Bitcoin, hashrate, and energy should be treated as digital commodities, with hedging and financial tools similar to those used in oil, gas, and grain markets.

The company plans to build commodity-grade risk management tools tailored specifically for Bitcoin and energy markets.

[Eli Nagar @EliNagar]

Couldn't be prouder of this!

Every commodity gets here eventually, the moment structured risk management catches up to the market.
Now it's Bitcoin's turn.

Couldn't ask for a better team to bring it.
Welcome to Braiins.

[TFTC @TFTC21]

Braiins, one of the oldest Bitcoin mining companies in the industry, acquired CAMMS Capital, a CFTC-registered commodity asset management firm originally built inside ETG, a global commodity conglomerate.

CAMMS brings over 75 years of combined commodity expertise. Braiins brings 15 years of operational experience in Bitcoin mining. The company says it plans to apply commodity risk management tools, the kind built for oil, gas, and grain, to Bitcoin and energy markets.

Braiins describes Bitcoin, hashrate, and energy as digital commodities and says the financial infrastructure for managing them does not yet exist in the way it does for traditional commodities.

This is one of the first acquisitions of a regulated commodity management firm by a Bitcoin-native company.

[Stéphane Bernhard @StephaneCAMMS]

Very grateful to join the Braiins structure. The alignment of vision and professionalism has been clear from day one, demanding and enjoyable in equal measure. Braiins has a reputation for process discipline in Bitcoin, and that's the kind of credibility traders recognize. Looking forward to what we build together.

ACQUISITION ANNOUNCEMENT🟢

Braiins just acquired @CAMMSCapital, a CFTC-registered commodity asset management firm.

One of the first times a Bitcoin-native company has done this.

CAMMS = COMMODITY SPECIALISTS

• Initially built inside ETG, a global commodity conglomerate
• 75+ combined years of commodity expertise on the team
• Ongoing ETG research partnership for proprietary market intelligence

BITCOIN AS A COMMODITY

1️⃣ Bitcoin, hashrate & energy = digital commodities
2️⃣ Managing Bitcoin like a commodity = edge

The financial tools built for oil, gas, and grain price risk were designed for exactly the kind of volatility Bitcoin exhibits. We haven't found them applied to Bitcoin the way we'd want. So we've decided to build them.

BUILDING TOGETHER

• Braiins brings 15+ years of operational experience in Bitcoin mining
• CAMMS brings decades of commodity risk management
• Together: commodity-grade tools applied to Bitcoin and energy markets

Bear markets are build markets.

Meet our new partners⤵️

[Stéphane Bernhard @StephaneCAMMS]

Braiins has built a reputation as a structured and organized firm. That's the kind of discipline traders recognize as credibility, and it's why this partnership works. Looking forward to what we build together. A sincere thank you to Ronald Jetten, CEO of ETG Commodities, for six years of collaboration and his support through the spin-off, and to Birju Patel, Group CEO of ETG Group, for facilitating the transaction.

[CAMMS Capital @CAMMSCapital]

CAMMS Capital is live. Backed by @Braiins.

We spent five years trading commodities inside ETG. Now we're launching as an independent company, CFTC-registered and NFA member.

Built inside ETG, a global commodity conglomerate with expertise across multiple industries, we developed and traded a multi-strategy commodity platform before spinning out. Our research partnership with ETG continues, giving us a direct window into supply chains, trade flows, and fundamental market drivers.

Today, we're launching as CAMMS Capital, acquired by Braiins and rebranded from CAM Multi-Strat Asset Management LLC.

We trade across agriculture, energy, metals, freight, and macro through three approaches: discretionary (driven by physical market intelligence and ETG research), hybrid (quantitative and fundamental, regime-adaptive), and systematic (fully rules-based).

The founding team remains in place, incentives aligned:

→ @StephaneCAMMS, CEO. 32 years at Louis Dreyfus, InVivo, ETG.

→ Salim Boutaleb, CIO and Head of Quantitative Trading. 15 years in systematic commodity strategies.

→ Rafael Molinero, COO. 28 years in the hedge fund industry, Chicago Booth MBA.

75+ years of combined commodity experience.

Building diversified commodity exposure means sourcing multiple specialist traders and running a risk framework across them. We do that work, drawing on decades of relationships and market access, so one allocation gives you exposure across 30+ commodity markets.

Institutional infrastructure from day one. KPMG audit, Northern Trust custody, SS&C administration, StoneX and Marex as prime brokers.

Commodity Intelligence, Amplified.

Welcome to CAMMS Capital.

We just wrapped up a 4-day workshop in Casablanca. Something HUGE is coming from Braiins.

Stay tuned.

[Stéphane Bernhard @StephaneCAMMS]

@BaronKoch21 So true Baron, and not only for facilitating transactions, but as well because Bitcoin is now part of the macro landscape and reflects global liquidity which is one of the critical driver of commodities.
