* Archimedes Yield Strategy shows the pure returns from Archimedes delta-neutral strategies (via crypto loans).

* Archimedes Net Return shows the combined returns of Archimedes strategies (if we took crypto exposure instead of structuring them as loans)

^ "Included" means the yield is incorporated into the Net Return and APY calculations. The Archimedes yield provides a "boost" to the holding value in the combined formula.

** Sharpe Ratio: For reference, here are the Sharpe Ratios of some well-known investments:

  • Berkshire Hathaway (2003): +0.7
  • Apple (2023): +1.6
  • NVIDIA (2023): +2.6
