About Tesseract | Tesseract
Built for institutions, treasuries and platforms.
Tesseract Investment Oy is a Helsinki-based digital asset manager. Our regulated portfolio management is operated by Tesseract Investment Oy, a MiCA-authorized Crypto-Asset Service Provider supervised by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority. Our lending is operated by Tesseract Earn Oy (registered in Finland).
What we do
Two tracks. One operating discipline.
Tesseract operates two distinct service tracks, kept legally and operationally separate so each is held to the controls appropriate to its regulatory status.
Regulated · Portfolio management
Dedicated Client Vaults
Discretionary portfolio management for institutional clients, delivered by Tesseract Investment Oy under its MiCA CASP authorization. Strategy, mandate, and reporting are written into a bilateral agreement and operated to the same disclosure standards a traditional asset manager would meet.
Unregulated · Infrastructure
Lending infrastructure
Risk-governed access to on-chain lending markets, provided by Tesseract Earn Oy (registered in Finland). Position sizing, counterparty selection, and protocol parameters are managed inside a controlled deployment framework. Not a regulated financial service.

Culture
At Tesseract, we don’t just believe in the future. We build it.
Four values, written down because they’re how we actually work.
01
Best ideas win
Seniority doesn’t decide outcomes. Whoever brings the strongest argument, backed by data, reasoning, or precedent, sets the direction. We disagree openly and commit fully.
02
Honesty kills bullshit
Direct feedback, candid post-mortems, and no performative optimism. We say the thing that needs to be said, even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then.
03
What could go right?
Risk discipline is the floor, not the ceiling. We pair rigorous downside analysis with active imagination about what’s possible. We move when the evidence supports it.
04
Find a way
Constraints are inputs, not endings. Regulatory complexity, technical edge cases, opaque counterparties: we work the problem until there’s a route through.
From the CEO
“As traditional yield opportunities diminish, capital is moving to trusted digital asset platforms. Tesseract is uniquely positioned to become the go-to platform for accessing compliant, risk-adjusted yield in crypto.”
