Here’s your back-door into Bitcoin, which as you are probably aware is on a tear once again (see chart below). News of MicroStrategy (MSTR) taking their near $500 million in cash reserves and putting it into Bitcoin, was what first caught our attention. MicroStrategy bitcoin webpage.
Then PayPal added rocket fuel to the fire in late October. PayPal Just Gave 346 Million People A New Way To Buy Bitcoin
And now the Chicago Mercantile Exchange has futures that are gaining real institutional traction – as in the final piece of the puzzle, and a whole new ballgame folks.
“The question in our mind is not so much does it get to $500,000, but how quickly,” Tyler Winklevoss. What self-respecting speculator can ignore that and not establish a ‘just in case position.’ Like us saying Gold is going to $10,000 – which we have.
Galaxy Digital (GLXY, BRPHF) has closely tracked the price of Bitcoin but has multiple shots (and potential misses) on goal. This is NOT a fund like Grayscale (GBTC) which has its own issues.

If you want to go long the market, go long the managers instead – everyone knows that! And Vica Versa, as the managers (barring a takeover) will melt like ice in bear markets – and no news related to an investment manager’s business will matter when assets walk out the door. So we think if you’re bullish on Bitcoin, be extra bullish on Galaxy Digital.
