# Investment thesis — Bitcoin macro allocation

**Horizon:** 3–5 years | **Role in portfolio:** Non-correlated savings layer (template example)

## Thesis

Bitcoin’s **liquid global settlement** properties and fixed supply schedule provide a hedge against sustained fiat debasement and banking-system concentration risk, *conditional* on continued institutional access products and regulatory clarity in major jurisdictions.

## Why hold now (narrative)

- Spot ETF structures reduced **friction** for retirement and advisory allocations in several markets.
- Network hash rate and fee markets show **operational resilience** post-halving cycles in historical data—past performance is not a guarantee.

## Risk factors

- Regulatory bans or punitive tax treatment in home jurisdiction.
- **Long drawdowns** (>50%) that strain behavioral discipline.
- Technological disruption: alternative settlement layers gaining dominant share (monitor, do not speculate daily).

## Position sizing discipline

- Rebalance only on **predefined bands** (documented in `positions/portfolio-overview.md`) to avoid emotional trading.
- No leverage in this template strategy; margin adds liquidation risk unrelated to macro thesis.

## Review triggers

Re-read quarterly or on **major policy shifts**; update this note with dated addenda rather than silent edits.
