01 / FIRM

A small firm, built to operate indefinitely.

December 12 was formed as a vehicle for the principals to deploy capital into digital asset markets under a single disciplined framework. Everything we do is systematic, principal-only, and US-domiciled.

The firm operates from Augusta, Georgia, banks domestically, trades exclusively on US-regulated venues, and reports through an independent CPA. We do not offer managed accounts, do not accept client capital, and do not engage in activities that would require registration as an investment adviser, commodity pool, or money services business.

Our counterparty posture is straightforward: low velocity, high transparency, US-regulated. Full entity documentation and beneficial ownership disclosure are available to custodians, prime brokers, and banking counterparties on request.

02 / GOVERNANCE

Institutional posture. Quiet by design.

01

US-Domiciled

Operating entity is a US limited liability company with an independent registered agent and US banking relationships. Full formation documentation is provided during KYB.

02

Independent CPA

Annual financial reporting through an independent US-licensed CPA. Trial balance, reconciliation, and attestation letters available to counterparties on request.

03

AML & Sanctions

Written AML policy and sanctions screening procedures on file. All counterparties, venues, and on-chain destinations subject to pre-onboarding review.

04

Beneficial Ownership

UBO is fully disclosed to regulated banking, custodial, and prime counterparties during KYB onboarding. Not disclosed publicly.

05

No Registration Required

Principal-only posture means the firm is not required to register as an Investment Adviser, Commodity Pool Operator, or Money Services Business — and does not represent itself as any of those.

06

Source-of-Funds

Operating capital originates from a long-tenured US operating business owned by the same principals. Source-of-funds documentation is available during KYB.

03 / ACTIVITY

What the book does, and what it doesn't.

Deliberate scope. Each category is part of the operating book; we do not transact outside of it.

01IN SCOPE

Spot digital assets

Long and flat positions in major liquid digital assets on US-regulated exchanges. No privacy coins, no recently-listed tokens, no pre-TGE allocations.

02IN SCOPE

Listed derivatives

Exchange-listed options and futures on major underlying assets, used for defined-risk income and directional expression. US-regulated venues only.

03IN SCOPE

Stablecoin treasury

USD-backed stablecoins for intra-strategy cash management and yield on idle balances. Reserve preference: fully-attested, US-issued.

×OUT OF SCOPE

What we explicitly do not do

No NFT activity, no unregistered securities, no OTC dealer activity, no managed capital, no advisory services. On-chain access, when used, is conducted exclusively through US-regulated custodial gateways.

04 / LEADERSHIP

One principal. Accountable.
