The firm’s backers will split into separate investment tracks, marking a broader restructuring of the Morton family’s investment activities. Chief Investment Officer Stuart Connolly will stay on to manage the transition, while some portfolio companies will continue operating with participation from existing shareholders. Tim Grant, the former Galaxy Digital executive who led Deus X Capital, is moving to become CEO of TensorX, an AI business owned by Darius, the new artificial intelligence-focused venture being assembled by Shane Morton. Owen and Jason Morton, meanwhile, have launched 95, a separate vehicle focused on markets and fintech. Deus X Capital was founded in October 2023 with family office backing and launched with $1 billion in existing investments and deployable capital. Its strategy spanned private equity, venture capital and hedge fund allocations across digital assets, blockchain, fintech and institutional capital markets. Early investments included stakes in Galaxy Digital and asset manager Hilbert Group, and the firm operated in Malta, London and the UAE.
