contents In this note we initiate the study of ``twisted holography'' for the dualities involving the BFSS matrix quantum mechanics and the IKKT matrix model in their $N \rightarrow \infty$ limits. We identify the admissible twists of each model, compute their cohomology in the BV-BRST formalism, and identify them -- in the planar limit and in perturbation theory around the trivial background -- with corresponding twists of IIA and IIB string theories, respectively. The twisted gravitational duals make manifest certain infinite dimensional symmetry algebras. In the BFSS example, the dual IIA supergravity twists are also obtained as certain zero mode truncations of the minimal (1/16-BPS) and maximal (1/4-BPS) twists of eleven-dimensional supergravity.
