Verde Asset Management, the Brazilian money manager run by industry veteran Luis Stuhlberger, is among those riding the Bitcoin rally sparked by President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Verde, one of Brazil’s best-known hedge funds, built a small position in Bitcoin ahead of the Nov. 5 vote, while also boosting a wager against the Chinese yuan, it said in a note to clients Monday. The exact size of the firm’s positions wasn’t disclosed.
