What is Project Omega?

Those who want to know how to invest in Project Omega might consider getting a little more information before putting money into the venture. For one thing, we might want to find out if the rumored venture that combines artificial intelligence and renewable energy, or the one that would remake cryptocurrency, or the involvement of Elon Musk is even real -- and so far, Musk isn't talking.

Although much of the gossip about Project Omega -- and that's what it is, only gossip -- is vague, the rumors about artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and renewable energy is catnip for investors who see the trio as three of the hottest secular trends in business.

Add the founder of PayPal (PYPL -20.11%), Tesla (TSLA +0.00%), SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI, and The Boring Company into the mix, and you’ve got the ingredients for an earth-shaking initial public offering (IPO). Again, though, not only is Project Omega absent from IPO calendars, but we're also not even sure if it's a real venture.

ETFs with possible exposure to Project Omega

Another option for investing in a theoretical Project Omega involves much less research. Putting money into an exchange-traded fund (ETF) isn't just a way to profit from a booming sector; it's also a time-proven method for portfolio diversification.

Even if one or two stocks in your ETF basket crater, there are more that can theoretically offset losses. And while you might not enjoy life-changing results from the success of a single stock, passive investing has been proven over and over to significantly reduce risk.

Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF)

An exchange-traded fund, or ETF, allows investors to buy many stocks or bonds at once.

Here are five ETFs that might benefit from Project Omega:

iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN +2.91%). It's been a rough few years for many renewable energy-focused funds. The ICLN fund had fallen almost 14% for the year by the first half of 2025, but it still held almost $1.3 billion in assets under management (AUM). Its modest yield of 1.84% may be partially offset by a reasonable expense ratio of 0.41%. First Solar (FSLR +3.51%), making up 7.1% of the fund, is its top holding. Other major holdings include Iberdrola SA (IBDSF +2.50%) (IBDRY +0.07%), which has 6.3% of assets, and Vestas Wind Systems (VWSY.F +0.84%), accounting for 5.9% of assets.

First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund (QCLN +2.25%). Like many clean energy stocks in general and the iShares fund, the ETF has had a rocky year. The fund, which held $366.3 million in net assets, posted a 0.22% dividend yield on a 0.59% expense ratio. The First Trust ETF's top holdings included Rivian (RIVN -0.42%) at 9.9%, Tesla (8.3%), First Solar (8.2%), and ON Semiconductor (ON -3.41%) making up 7.2%.

Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF (BLOK -2.83%). The fund focuses on companies that are directly or indirectly exposed to the cryptocurrency world. Over the past year, it's handily outperformed the S&P 500, racking up 35.4% in gains. The fund, which has $733.5 million in assets and an expense ratio of 0.73%, reports that its largest holdings include Robinhood (HOOD -3.16%) at 4.8%; MicroStrategy (STRF -0.61%), making up 4.7% of assets; and Metaplanet (MTPL.F -8.31%) at 4%.

The Global X Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ +0.03%) is a behemoth in AI and robotics ETFs, with $2.4 billion in assets. It has a 0.68% expense ratio and no real dividend yield reported. Over the past year, the fund has logged a 7.13% loss. Its top holding is Keyence (KYCCF -1.52%), which makes up 9.1% of its assets. The Japan-based manufacturer is followed by Nvidia at 9%, Intuitive Surgical (ISRG -3.56%) at 8.4%, and ABB Ltd. (OTC:ABBN.Y), accounting for 8.3% of holdings.

The Destiny Tech100 (DXYZ +7.46%) is one of a few funds that let their investors put money into companies that typically only get monetary love from private equity and venture capital firms. The closed-end fund, which was only listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in January 2024, has almost two dozen holdings, including off-the-exchange investments in SpaceX (52.4% of its portfolio), Revolut (9.4%), and OpenAI (4.4%). It's posted a whopping 158.3% return over the past year, even with a stiff 2.5% management fee.

Before rushing in with your money, however, you should keep several things in mind: First, the ETF is a closed-end fund, which means it limits the amount of shares that it sells. Second, several of its holdings, such as Instacart (CART -4.56%), which accounts for 2.6% of assets, had relatively recent IPOs with shares that have bounced around in value since the initial excitement. Finally, the net asset value of the fund's holdings was $51.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025, but its market cap was about $387.3 million. Do the math, and you'll see that the value of the portfolio would need to increase by a factor of 7.5 before investors who bought into the fund right away will see a profit.

Still, if your risk tolerance is reasonably high and you see the ETF as an opportunity for portfolio diversification, the Destiny Tech100 fund may be an interesting (if somewhat risky) holding.

Bottom line on Project Omega

A fusion of artificial intelligence and renewable energy created by one of the top entrepreneurs of the 21st century or a plan to reimagine the world of decentralized finance has the potential to send investors into a frenzy. With few exceptions, Musk has an unrivaled track record when it comes to developing businesses on the cutting edge of technology. Even so, two caveats bear repeating: We don't know if any of this is real, and if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true.
