Joined September 2011
Most investors want bitcoin upside but can't stomach the drawdowns. Most owners of commercial real estate have equity sitting idle and no way to put it to work without selling or refinancing. We built a fund where each one solves the other's problem. How bitHedge Fund I works:

Own bitcoin outright and it falls 50%: no capital call. An office goes from 100% to 60% occupied: $125 a foot to re-tenant. @ChrisDrz on his podcast @REstandardPod with @TimKotzman: the volatility is equivalent, it just shows up differently. Ep 39 Full episode: xitter.cf/REstandardPod/status/2…

Bitcoin's volatility is globally broadcast. Real estate's is local and quiet: half the occupancy gone, a storm in your market. Both are risk. One is on a ticker. A clip from @ChrisDrz & @TimKotzman's podcast @REstandardPod, Ep 39 Full episode: xitter.cf/REstandardPod/status/2…

My grandpa once chased a train in his truck to make a dance at the University of Utah. Leaned out to wave down the conductor, never saw the telephone pole. Knocked clean out of the truck. Got up in one piece. Praise God, he was fine.

If bitcoin fails to perform, you're at risk. A: do nothing, keep juggling. B: pledge your land and share in the Fund's gains. If bitcoin is flat or down at the end of the term, you pay the shortfall in cash, capped at your pledge. That's the risk you're taking. Part 5. The Fund relies on Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. No investment may be accepted unless the prospective purchaser receives and reviews the final offering documents, is verified as an accredited investor, completes the subscription process, and is accepted by the General Partner. The offering documents contain material information and risk factors not included in this material and control in the event of any inconsistency.

Finally, the right structure for CRE owners who do not want to service debt but do want to accumulate bitcoin. And the Bitcoin cycle is giving us the right entry price.
What if a free-and-clear property could give you Bitcoin exposure without selling the real estate? That is the idea behind bitHedge. Pledge the property as collateral. Keep the asset. Participate in Bitcoin’s upside. That is a very different way to think about trapped equity. @DanielBitHedge Watch the full episode. xitter.cf/REstandardPod/status/2…

Heal the land. Heal the finances. Heal relationships. A regenerative practice you can't fund yet. Upgrades the ranch has needed for years. More labor. Time with your family. What would you do if the equity in your land went to work? Part 4. The Fund relies on Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. No investment may be accepted unless the prospective purchaser receives and reviews the final offering documents, is verified as an accredited investor, completes the subscription process, and is accepted by the General Partner. The offering documents contain material information and risk factors not included in this material and control in the event of any inconsistency.

Capital partner wants the 2x. Real estate partner wants the 2x. I want the 2x. Three partners. One goal: the Fund’s value doubles. Different roles. Bitcoin is a generational asset, just like your land.
