Why Invest in Bitcoin and Gold?

Well Established Inflation Hedge
Gold has long been recognized as a reliable physical hedge against inflation. Its value tends to rise when traditional currencies lose purchasing power, providing a safe harbor during economic turbulence. Gold's stability and historical performance make it a cornerstone in preserving wealth over long periods. Bitcoin, on the other hand, is often referred to as digital gold. It offers a new-age hedge against inflation and currency debasement. Like gold, Bitcoin is scarce, with a capped supply of 21 million BTC, which helps preserve its value over time thanks to a systematic and predictable monetary policy. Its decentralized nature and growing acceptance provide an innovative way to protect against the erosion of value in traditional currencies.

Combining both gold and Bitcoin in the 21Shares Bytetree BOLD ETP (BOLD) offers a diversified inflation hedge, balancing the historical stability of gold with the growth potential of Bitcoin. This combination allows investors to benefit from different economic environments, making BOLD a versatile investment choice.

Strong Past Performance
Bitcoin has consistently been one of the best-performing assets since its inception over a decade ago. Its performance has significantly outpaced many traditional asset classes. Bitcoin currently commands more than half of the total crypto asset market capitalization, with a market cap of over $1 trillion. This dominance, coupled with its liquidity and widespread acceptance, reinforces Bitcoin's position as a robust long-term investment vehicle. Gold has also performed admirably amid the rising global geopolitical tensions. According to recent data from the World Gold Council, gold prices have increased by 12% year-to-date. This performance underscores gold's resilience and role as a key asset in preserving wealth in uncertain market conditions.

Well-Designed Index
The Vinter Bytetree BOLD1 Inverse Volatility Index ("BOLD1") contains Bitcoin and Gold, weighted such that an equal amount of risk is invested into both assets. The more volatile Bitcoin is (relative to gold) the lower the target weight in Bitcoin. Periodic rebalancing brings the current weight to the target weights.

Risk-adjusted Weighting
BOLD's risk-adjusted weighting scheme is rebalanced monthly to provide an optimal blend of underlying assets: gold provides safety in a storm while Bitcoin captures the growth of a digital economy.
