Total asset value increases approximately 17.5% quarter-over-quarter while invested capital remains virtually unchanged, leverage exposure reduced to zero amid continued market uncertainty

[West Drayton Middx, UK, October 1, 2026] – The SiLLC Assembly (“TSA” or “the Assembly”), October 1, 2026 – The SiLLC Assembly (TSA), a private portfolio assembly focused on future-oriented technology companies, digital assets and strategic investment opportunities, today announced its portfolio development for the third quarter of 2026.

Despite what TSA characterized as one of the more challenging summer market environments in recent years, the Assembly closed the quarter with a significant increase in portfolio value while maintaining an intentionally conservative capital allocation strategy.

Q3 2026 Highlights

Compared with the end of the second quarter of 2026:

• Total asset value increased approximately 17.5%
• Traditional investment portfolio value increased approximately 15.8%
• Digital asset value increased approximately 45.2%
• Total invested capital increased only approximately 0.4%
• Digital asset invested capital remained unchanged
• Cash declined approximately 3.7%
• Leverage exposure was reduced to 0% by quarter-end

The combination of strong asset-value growth and virtually unchanged invested capital reflects TSA’s deliberately cautious positioning during the third quarter.

Conservative Positioning Through a Difficult Summer Market

Technology and artificial intelligence-related markets remained highly volatile throughout the quarter, while the traditional summer lull produced rapidly changing short-term opportunities and pronounced price movements across several growth sectors.

Rather than materially increasing overall portfolio exposure, TSA focused on protecting existing capital, selectively repositioning investments and maintaining flexibility.

“The third quarter once again demonstrated why risk management has to be an active process rather than a static set of rules,” said Markus Schronen, Board Chair of The SiLLC Assembly. “We deliberately chose not to pursue growth in invested capital simply for the sake of showing higher deployment. Our investment base remained almost unchanged, while the portfolio itself developed very positively. From our perspective, this represents a particularly satisfactory result in such a difficult environment.”

Schronen added:

“We continue to expect elevated volatility. Geopolitical developments, changing economic expectations and the exceptionally fast pace of technological transformation are creating markets in which conviction has to be combined with discipline. Maintaining the ability not to act can be just as important as identifying the next opportunity.”

Technology and AI Remain at the Core

TSA maintained its strategic focus on predominantly U.S.-based technology companies and infrastructure associated with the next generation of computing.

Core areas continue to include:

• Artificial intelligence and AI infrastructure
• Robotics and automation
• Data centers and high-performance computing
• Energy generation and power infrastructure
• Photonics and optical networking
• Semiconductor and advanced connectivity technologies
• Quantum technologies
• Selected digital assets and blockchain infrastructure

The Assembly continues to see the United States as its primary market for technology-related investment opportunities and intends to maintain this geographic emphasis.

Leverage Reduced to Zero

Following extensive use of tactical leverage strategies in previous periods, TSA significantly reduced these activities during the third quarter and ended the reporting period with no active leverage exposure.

The decision reflected the Assembly’s assessment that the combination of high volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and rapidly changing market sentiment made leveraged positions less attractive from a risk-adjusted perspective.

“Leverage plays were almost completely absent during the quarter,” said Martin Schuetz, Head of Assembly, Digital Assets and Investments. “There were certainly attractive price dislocations during the summer lull, but many of those opportunities were short-lived. Where we participated, our tendency was to realize positions relatively quickly rather than increase exposure into an uncertain environment.”

Schuetz continued:

“Our priority during Q3 was capital preservation and flexibility. The fact that total invested capital increased by less than half a percent while overall asset value increased by approximately 17.5% is, in our view, an important indicator of how conservatively we approached the quarter.”

TSA may selectively return to leverage-based strategies during the fourth quarter if market conditions provide what the Assembly considers an appropriate balance between opportunity and risk. The Assembly emphasized that leverage will remain a tactical instrument rather than a permanent component of its portfolio structure.

Digital Asset Treasury Rebounds

The Assembly’s Digital Asset Treasury recorded a significant market-value recovery during the quarter, increasing by approximately 45.2%, while no additional capital was allocated to the segment.

TSA continues to regard digital assets as a long-term strategic component rather than the central driver of its overall investment strategy.

“Digital assets demonstrated once again both their upside potential and their extraordinary volatility,” Schuetz said. “We did not add new capital during the quarter. Our existing treasury was allowed to participate in the market recovery while our primary investment efforts remained centered on technology companies and infrastructure.”

TSA continues to support decentralized digital infrastructure through its involvement with Bitcoin network infrastructure, including the operation of independently managed Bitcoin Full Nodes.

Risk Management Remains Central to Q4 Strategy

The Assembly expects geopolitical events, macroeconomic uncertainty and rapidly changing expectations surrounding AI and technology valuations to continue influencing financial markets during the remainder of 2026.

Accordingly, TSA intends to maintain its ongoing risk-management framework with particular emphasis on:

• Capital preservation
• Position sizing
• Liquidity management
• Active portfolio reallocation
• Selective profit realization
• Limited use of leverage
• Rapid response to changing market conditions
• Continued concentration on long-term structural technology themes

“We are satisfied with how the Assembly navigated Q3, but this is not an environment in which complacency is appropriate,” Schronen said. “A strong quarter does not make geopolitical or market risks disappear. Our objective remains to participate in technological growth while ensuring that the portfolio can withstand periods when markets behave very differently from expectations.”

Outlook

TSA enters the fourth quarter with no active leverage positions and with its core investment strategy unchanged.

The Assembly expects to continue emphasizing U.S.-based technology companies while monitoring selective opportunities across AI, robotics, data center infrastructure, energy, photonics, advanced computing and digital assets.

Should market conditions become more favorable, TSA may selectively deploy leverage again during Q4. Any such activity will remain subject to predefined risk parameters and continuous review.

“The summer lull produced opportunities, but it also demonstrated how quickly those opportunities could disappear,” Schuetz concluded. “We therefore enter Q4 without the need to force transactions. We have the flexibility to act when opportunities become compelling and equally the flexibility to remain on the sidelines when the risk-reward equation does not make sense.”
