🐷 How much #BTC should be in your portfolio?

Wall Street has an answer

Six of the largest global banks and asset managers broadly agree on one thing:

Bitcoin allocation should not exceed ~5% of a portfolio.

Why so conservative?
• BTC is still classified as a high-risk asset
• Extreme volatility increases drawdown risk
• Institutions prioritize capital preservation over outsized upside

In their view, Bitcoin works best as a small asymmetric bet — enough to benefit if it wins big, but not enough to sink the portfolio if volatility hits.

Of course, retail investors often play by very different rules.
But it’s useful to remember how traditional finance thinks about risk.

🤔 If Michael Saylor were pitching the company Strategy on the show "Shark Tank"…

"Shark Tank" is a popular American reality show where entrepreneurs pitch their startups to a group of "shark investors" hoping to get funding (sell equity in their company). The show has been running for many years, regularly attracts millions of viewers, and has become one of the most recognizable formats about startups and investments.

🇷🇺 Russia wants to introduce a "time tax."

The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed charging for access to accurate time signals synchronized with state atomic clocks.

These are used by banks, telecom operators, energy companies, and major IT firms to record transactions and legally significant operations.

The plan is to create a single operator and start collecting fees from March 1, 2027. Formally, businesses will pay, but the costs may be passed on through commissions and tariffs.

26 years ago, Michael Saylor lost $6B in a single day

Back in 2000, during the dot-com bubble collapse, Michael Saylor saw his net worth shrink by roughly $6 billion in one day as tech stocks imploded.

The takeaway? He’s been through far worse than today’s unrealized losses.

History suggests Saylor knows exactly what volatility feels like.

Bhutan has launched a digital nomad visa priced at $2,800 per year, allowing foreigners to live and travel across the country for 12 months.

A key condition: applicants must also invest $10,000 into Bhutan’s sovereign financial infrastructure by purchasing TER, a new gold-backed crypto asset.

This marks a major shift for a country that, for decades, tightly restricted tourism with mandatory guides and daily fees of $100–250. The new visa signals Bhutan’s move toward a more open, innovation-friendly model — blending controlled openness with crypto and long-term visitors.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The US will "easily win" a war with Iran.

Donald Trump denied media reports that General Daniel Cain is against a war with Iran.

According to the US president, General Cain, who commanded Operation Midnight Hammer (the B-2 strike on Iranian nuclear sites), is convinced that defeating Iran would be no trouble.

Trump left the decision on military action to himself: he prefers negotiations but warned – if there’s no deal, Iran will “have a very bad day.”
