UAE's Mashreq Capital Launches BITMAC Fund With Bitcoin Allocation

In Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Mashreq Capital, part of the Mashreq banking group, has launched BITMAC, a retail multi-asset fund pairing traditional markets with a measured slice of Bitcoin. Domiciled in the DIFC and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, the fund allocates 90% across global equities and global fixed income, with 5% each to gold and Bitcoin via exchange-traded funds, and a minimum entry of $100.

Mashreq Capital said the portfolio will be rebalanced quarterly, topping up positions that fall below target weights and trimming those that exceed them. The firm said the systematic process is intended to enforce discipline and help avoid common retail timing mistakes, aiming for a balanced and diversified profile that keeps overall risk comparable to a standard balanced fund.

Positioning itself as one of the first professionally managed multi-asset products of its kind in the region, the fund packages Bitcoin exposure within a regulated, risk-controlled framework for retail clients. Mashreq Capital has operated in the DIFC since 2005.
