ADVICE

Brace For Amplified Volatility

Prepare mentally for extreme volatility if you hold amplified Bitcoin positions.
Stick to a sound, committed investment thesis or you'll likely get shaken out by price swings.

INSIGHT

Bitcoin treasury companies run an amplified-Bitcoin carry trade by accessing capital cheaper than expected Bitcoin CAGR.
That strategy avoids liquidation risk and can be profitable if Bitcoin's long-term CAGR exceeds funding costs.

INSIGHT
