Methodology

PDAI Methodology

The PodiumBlock Digital Assets Index is an actively-managed index designed to measure a diversified basket of leading digital assets and digital asset-related exposures shaping the future of finance.

Measuring What Matters

For decades, the world’s most influential investment products have been built around a simple idea: measuring what matters. Some measure the world’s largest companies. Others measure commodities, bonds, or entire economies. The most enduring institutions in finance were not built by predicting the future; they were built by creating frameworks that help people understand it.

At PodiumBlock, we believe digital assets deserve the same intellectual discipline. That belief is why we created PDAI.

What PDAI Represents

PDAI is not a prediction. It is a framework.

It is our attempt to answer one question:

“If the future of finance were built today, what would it look like?”

For years, investors have been forced to make binary decisions:

  • Bitcoin or Ethereum?
  • Infrastructure or applications?
  • Stocks or digital assets?
  • Growth or stability?

We believe the future will not be binary. The next generation of finance will exist at the intersection of technology, ownership, infrastructure, and capital markets. PDAI was built to reflect that reality.

Index Construction

Rather than measuring a single digital asset, PDAI seeks diversified exposure across multiple themes that we believe are foundational to the digital economy. Every constituent must earn its place within the index. We do not seek exposure for the sake of diversification. We seek exposure to ideas, technologies, and businesses we believe possess long-term relevance.

PDAI follows a transparent methodology. The index is reviewed continuously and rebalanced every two weeks to ensure that constituent weights remain aligned with our investment framework and changing market conditions.

Constituents & Allocation

Today, PDAI is composed of five carefully selected constituents, each serving a distinct purpose within the index. At official launch, Bitcoin, MicroStrategy, Solana, and SUI are held in reserve pending market conditions, while USDT carries the full defensive allocation.

  • Bitcoin represents digital scarcity and institutional adoption.
  • Solana represents high-performance digital infrastructure.
  • SUI represents next-generation blockchain architecture and emerging ecosystem growth.
  • MicroStrategy represents public market exposure to digital asset adoption.
  • USDT provides liquidity and stability while allowing the index to maintain strategic flexibility.

Selection Framework

PDAI is an actively-managed index. Constituent selection considers multiple factors, including market relevance, liquidity, ecosystem development, institutional adoption, risk management considerations, and long-term strategic importance.

Markets evolve. Methodologies should evolve responsibly alongside them. Complexity does not necessarily create better outcomes. Our objective is not to create the largest digital assets index in the world. Our objective is to build one that remains understandable, disciplined, and durable over time.

Our Commitment

PDAI is our first product, but it is not our final ambition. At PodiumBlock, we are building for decades, not market cycles. We believe the future of finance will extend beyond traditional markets and that entirely new forms of ownership, infrastructure, and capital formation will emerge over time.

Our role is not merely to observe that future. Our role is to measure it.

Every index begins with a single data point. July 15, 2026 represents our first data point. The years that follow will become our track record.

Over the coming months, we will publish:

  • PDAI Methodology Updates
  • Monthly Factsheets
  • Performance Reports
  • Market Insights
  • Research Publications
  • Index Rebalancing Reports

Transparency is not optional. It is foundational. Our commitment is simple: build thoughtfully, publish consistently, measure objectively.

PDAI is more than an index value on a screen. It represents a long-term commitment to research, discipline, and the belief that the future of finance can be measured responsibly.

And this is only Day One.
