Weโre excited to welcome John Haar (@jhaarblockware) as our new Vice President of Sales.
John spent 4+ years as Managing Director at Swan Bitcoin and 12+ years as an institutional portfolio manager at Goldman Sachs.
Few people understand both Wall Street capital and Bitcoin like John does.
Welcome aboard ๐ค
The same playbook works on a personal balance sheet.
We wrote a white paper comparing 5 ways to do it:
- HELOCs
- Bitcoin-backed loans
- SBLOCs
- SBA 7(a)
- 0% cards
This white paper discusses the trade-offs and how to size LTV so a drawdown never forces a sale.

Big Tech was sitting on hundreds of billions in cash.
They borrowed anyway.
Meta: $30B
Amazon: $92B
Alphabet: $31.5B
Oracle: $18B
The most sophisticated operators on earth are choosing debt.
Here's why ๐งต
They understand what most investors were never taught:
1. Raising cash through borrowing avoids selling assets and triggering taxes.
2. Capital gets deployed into new opportunities while every existing position keeps compounding.
3. When the assets grow faster than the interest accrues, the spread creates wealth.
My biggest realization regarding @Blockware's offering is that it is first and foremost a tax mitigation strategy.
Many people have high ordinary income, but limited options to reduce their tax burden.
While people may be inclined to compare buying Bitcoin miners vs buying Bitcoin... the more appropriate comparison is buying miners vs other strategies which aim to reduce taxes via investment in income generating assets โ such as oil/natural gas drilling, aircraft leasing, real estate, or solar projects.
High-net-worth individuals and businesses have a tax strategy *in addition to* their investment strategy.
Starting thinking & acting like a HNWI or business!
We have emailed every one of our users to notify them of the Coldcard situation and best next steps.
Blockware is non-custodial; user funds are not at risk. Mining rewards are sent directly from our pool to clients own address.
We urge any clients having BTC sent to an address generated by any Coinkite device to change their payout address as soon as possible.
Stay safe. ๐ซก ๐
The market interpreted the last Fed meeting as hawkish and the odds of a hike this year rose above 80%
The market is wrong. Hikes are not coming. Pauses will be received bullishly as hawkish expectations continue to unwind.
And if we end up getting cuts... ๐

I'm pumped to be joining the @Blockware team!
It's clear to me that individuals can benefit tremendously from Blockware's offering โ in terms of stacking more Bitcoin and minimizing taxes.
I absolutely loved my 4+ years at Swan. I worked with so many great clients & coworkers, and I look forward to maintaining those relationships for years to come.
I have tons of respect for Cory, Yan, Brady, Brandon and the whole team at Swan.
You'll be hearing more from me about Blockware soon!

Bitcoin X is back
Bitcoin is going to $100,000
Bitcoin treasury companies are going to trade at a premium again
The circular economy is being built
Good things are on the horizon
The "Bitcoin x Global M2" correlation was bulletproof for the first 17 years of Bitcoin's existence
But over the past 12 months, that correlation has flipped negative: -0.9
"Liquidity sponge" no more?
Either the relationship that defined Bitcoin for nearly 2 decades is dead, or something stepped between Bitcoin & the liquidity.
Perhaps a different "risk on" asset class big enough to swallow the 6.8 Trillion in Global M2 growth over the past year.
But the cracks in the Ai trade are already beginning to show.
The Ai rotation back into Bitcoin will accelerate BTC to new highs in 2027.
