The State of Wisconsin Investment Board’s (SWIB) initial investment of $164 million in spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) like BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) is likely just a trial phase, according to David Krause, a finance professor at Marquette University.[1][3] Krause believes the SWIB, known for being innovative, is testing public reaction and assessing potential resistance to owning bitcoin.[1][3] He expects the SWIB to increase its bitcoin ETF holdings, as the current investment is negligible at around 0.1% of its $156 billion portfolio.[3][5] Krause views this as a “toe in the water” approach, anticipating the SWIB to gradually raise its bitcoin exposure to 1-2% of its portfolio.[1][2] Sources [1] Wisconsin Pension Plan Likely to Invest Much More in Bitcoin ETF, Marquette Professor Says [Bitcoin ETF (BTC) Purchases for Pension Funds Just Getting Started](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2024/06/03/wisconsin-pension-plan-likely-to-invest-much-more-in-bitcoin-etf-says-marquette-professor/) [2] BREAKING: Wisconsin Pension Plan Poised for Larger Bitcoin ETF … [https://cryptoadventure.com/breaking-wisconsin-pension-plan-poised-for-larger-bitcoin-etf-investment-can-it-propel-btc-price-to-new-ath/](https://cryptoadventure.com/breaking-wisconsin-pension-plan-poised-for-larger-bitcoin-etf-investment-can-it-propel-btc-price-to-new-ath/) [3] Wisconsin Pension Plan Likely to Invest Much More in Bitcoin ETF … [Yahooist Teil der Yahoo Markenfamilie](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/wisconsin-pension-plan-likely-invest-182335859.html) [4] Wisconsin pension fund now includes bitcoin - WPR [Wisconsin pension fund now includes bitcoin - WPR](https://www.wpr.org/news/wisconsin-pension-fund-bitcoin) [5] Wisconsin Pension Buys $160 Million in Bitcoin ETFs [Wisconsin Pension Buys $160 Million in Bitcoin ETFs | Chief Investment Officer](https://www.ai-cio.com/news/wisconsin-pension-buys-160-million-in-bitcoin-etf/) [6] David Krause on WRS investing millions into a Bitcoin ETF [https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/david-krause-on-wrs-investing-millions-into-a-bitcoin-etf/](https://pbswisconsin.org/news-item/david-krause-on-wrs-investing-millions-into-a-bitcoin-etf/) ---

I recommend everyone should have one percent bitcoin allocation in their portfolio. Strike app is an easy cheap way to buy bitcoin. Another way to get bitcoin exposure is fidelity ETF or micro strategy MSTR. I prefer MSTR over bitcoin ETF. I personally own a lot of MSTR in my Roth IRA because setting up a bitcoin retirement account is a pain. To summarize: one percent bitcoin or MSTR allocation I have a friend whose allocation is 90 percent bitcoin and 10 percent cash. He rebalances this portfolio once a month. I don’t recommend a 90 percent allocation. My friend has a high tolerance for volatility. He is a software engineer who paid off his mortgage in 15 years. He lives in Texas which is now the hub for bitcoin mining in USA. I live in California where it’s annoying to be a property owner. I have thought about selling my real estate investments and buy more bitcoin. But I am crazy and can stomach volatility. Ever since the dot com crash in 2000 and the great financial crisis in 2008. Plus the crazy volatility of bitcoin since inception This is not investment advice. This is a friendly recommendation. Feel free to direct message me if you have any questions ---

In 1896, the country’s GDP per capita exceeded that of the United States, and the country was the seventh wealthiest overall in the world in the early 20th century, remaining in the top ten until 1920. Starting in 1930, it embarked on a chaotic series of veers to the left and right, political instability, military coups, and financial crises, inflation, currency devaluation… My friend in Argentina can confirm almost everything Devon wrote ---

Alliance Bernstein analysts [predict](https://www.theblock.co/post/300138/bernstein-bitcoin-price-target-2025): - $200,000/BTC by mid-2025 - $500,000/BTC by 2029 - $1,000,000+/BTC by late 2033 ![image](https://scanalyst.fourmilab.ch/uploads/default/original/3X/2/1/21f8b29b78519fb943b58a3fd76c7c35dbe0239a.png) We’ll see. One thing is certain: The supply of dollars is increasing at a much faster rate than the supply of bitcoin. A maximum of 21 million bitcoin can be created, of which approximately 1 million are believed to be owned by Satoshi Nakamoto and 4 million or more are estimated to have been lost, leaving the effective maximum supply at 16 million bitcoin. Owning 1 bitcoin means you own at least one sixteen-millionth of the total bitcoin that will ever be in circulation. How many dollars would you need to possess to have one sixteen-millionth of the total supply of dollars? The U.S. government reportedly holds around 200,000 bitcoin. What other asset could you own a larger fraction of, relative to the U.S. government’s holdings? ---

> [@Citizen\_bitcoin](#): > > Like DEA confiscating mansions and Ferrari during the 1980s from cocaine dealers When you hear tptb talk about crypto being used to sponsor terrorism or criminal acts, just ask yourself if they respect the bill of rights that they took an oath to uphold? They somehow know a person is a criminal without trial. How does that work? That is how they confiscate property. Of course crypto is used and so is every currency and gold. So what is different? Bitcoin cannot be confiscated without trial. They cannot trace it as easy. Tracking people’s money is unconstitutional and I don’t give a crap what judges or Yale law professors say. It is far more invasion of privacy than caring about what goes on in someone’s bedroom. ---
