Moon Pursuit Capital Reaches $30M AUM, Targets 3x Growth and Global Expansion with Fund II

Moon Pursuit Capital announced the successful close of its inaugural fundraise, reaching $30 million in assets under management. The crypto-native investment firm confirmed that preparations are already underway for Fund II, with plans to launch next year and expand the firm's global footprint with offices in the U.S., Dubai, and select Asian and European hubs. This growth trajectory comes amid strong interest from family offices and international investors seeking exposure to the firm's unique investment approach.

The firm's model operates on a multi-pronged strategy that combines a conviction-driven hedge fund managing large-cap and mid-cap tokens with institutional discipline alongside a Liquid Venture component. This second sleeve leverages hedge-fund liquidity to participate in pre-token and early-stage deals, enabling the firm to move faster and write larger checks than traditional crypto venture capital firms. This structure provides founders with meaningful, timely support while positioning Moon Pursuit to capture asymmetric upside as these ecosystems launch and scale.

Founder and Managing Partner Utkarsh Ahuja emphasized that the firm's edge comes from viewing crypto through a macro lens, adjusting positions around global liquidity cycles, regulatory signals, and behavioral data. Having been in crypto for over a decade, Ahuja built Moon Pursuit to stay ahead of market cycles, combining liquidity, speed, and market insight to consistently outperform both traditional markets and the broader crypto market. The firm's portfolio spans established tokens that anchor the portfolio with liquidity, early-stage venture deals across Layer 1 infrastructure, DeFi, AI-driven blockchain innovation, and gaming sectors, plus select OTC allocations accessed through the firm's network.

Looking ahead, Fund I is positioned to scale aggressively with a target of achieving a 3x increase in AUM over the next 12 months, driven by strong performance and increasing allocator demand. The parallel planning for Fund II represents a significant expansion of the strategy to a more global level, serving a growing base of institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth partners.
