# About Tesseract

Access is granted on the basis that the accessing person is not a UK person and will not disseminate the contents to any UK person.
### What do we do?
Many people who hold crypto assets cannot generate yield on them. The rails to access yield are underdeveloped within crypto, and many avenues that exist today lack sufficient oversight or require advanced financial and technological knowledge.
**Tesseract Investment Oy** provides discretionary portfolio management of crypto-assets under MiCA, executed through per-client on-chain vaults. Alongside that regulated service, Tesseract Earn Oy and its UK Special Purpose Vehicles offer institutional lending outside the MiCA perimeter, applying equivalent compliance and risk standards.
We deliver these services either by partnering with institutions such as crypto exchanges, custodians, and fintechs who offer them to their end customers, or directly to institutional counterparties via direct wallet connectivity.
### Who we are
Founded in 2017, we are a combination of traditional finance and technology experts who want to help elevate the crypto industry to be a true alternative to existing traditional finance.
**Tesseract Investment Oy** is MiCA-authorised and FIN-FSA-supervised as a Crypto Asset Service Provider. In Dedicated Client Vault contexts, the service operates within the custody, portfolio management, and transfer services limbs of that authorisation; the full authorisation also covers investment advice and reception / transmission of orders.
Our technology platform, **Tesseract Earn Oy**, is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (valid to October 2027, audited by Prescient Security) and holds a SOC 2 Type II report (three consecutive years, audited by Prescient Security). The CASP operates on that certified platform. Reports are available on request under NDA.
Our headquarters are in Helsinki, Finland, with a global team of professionals delivering regulated, institutional-grade yield services to institutional clients, partners, and treasuries.
### Why partner with us?
We have operated the B2B2C yield model since 2017. Our value driver is trust and compliance supported by institutional-grade technology. We invest in rigorous risk management processes and operate with a high degree of transparency.
