How I Manage My $1.5M Crypto Asset Portfolio

I get asked at least once a week how I manage my crypto asset portfolio, with a current value of US$1.5 Mio.

That’s why I thought it’d be good to write a quick post about it.

Bitcoin

• I keep the majority of my Bitcoin on my Ledger
• I put 2.5 BTC on Nexo to earn passive income
• These generate enough interest to cover 100% of monthly credit card bill
• I use the Nexo credit card for everything, and I am super happy with it
• Below is an image of how the transaction page looks like showing all the daily interest

Hedera

• As I wrote before, I am convinced Hedera will become a top 10 coin by 2025
• The team, tech, speed, security (ABFT!), use cases, and ‘carbon negativeness’ (!) are just some of the reasons
• one of the main reasons is Hedera’s unique government council, with companies like Google, Hitachi, Mondelez, Dt. Telekom, etc.
• maybe not appealing to the typical crypto ethos, Hedera positions itself as an enterprise network, which corporations sooner or later will trust and gravitate to
• I am a big fan of the Hedera-native wallet, Hashpack, as well as the two Hedera DeFi projects: SaucerSwap and Heliswap

Solana

• I have owned Solana for years and held it when it was in the single digits, as well as when it was above $200 US
• I love its Phantom wallet and currently am using two DeFi projects with upcoming airdrops
• Kamino Finance – I am liquidity farming with approx. 250 SOL, see my dashboard below
• For example, you can convert SOL into jitoSOL, then put these into an LP on Kamino or MarginFi

Ethereum

• Like many others, I believe the Eigenlayer airdrop will be massive
• That’s why I am staking natively with Eigenlayer (with virgin ETH and swETH from Swell)
• but also through some of those liquid restaking platforms that build on top of Eigenlayer
  • • KelpDAO  (same team as StaderLabs, which am using on Hedera as well)
    • Etherfi
    • Renzo
    • Swell
• All you need to get started is some ETH on a Metamask or my favorite Rabby Wallet
• go to one of the projects listed above, convert your ETH into the staked version, and you will be collecting points

Below is what this looks like, for example, on Renzo.

For anyone interested in staking and liquid restaking Ethereum I recommend watching this Bankless video:

Thorchain

I would only recommend Thorchain for experienced crypto users. LPing comes with a whole series of risks and is not for everyone. The best Thorchain wallet is Xdefi.

In the past, I provide liquidity to the BTC/RUNE, ETH/RUNE, and USDT/RUNE pools, all on Thorswap. Use Thoryield to get good analytics of your LP positions.

Stacks

Stacks with its STX tokens is a project I have been following for a long time and invested in January 2024.

Stacks makes smart contracts and decentralized apps possible on the Bitcoin blockchain by using microblocks for speed and a Proof-of-Transfer (PoX) system that links transactions to the Bitcoin blockchain. think of it as an L2 on top of BTC, similar to Arbitrum or Optimism on top of Ethereum.

I am currently one of the top 3% of STX StackingDAO stakers, according to my accumulated points.

Cosmos

I have owned Cosmos’ native ATOM token for over four years. I like what’s getting built on top of Cosmos, but the performance of the ATOM token itself is lackluster.

I recently got some of Celestia’s airdropped TIA tokens, which I staked, which made me eligible for a rather sizeable DYM token airdrop (received $1,900 US worth of DYM tokens).

I think it’s worth it to stake ATOM on Stride, as well as stake TIA via Milkyway.

Conclusion

I hope by sharing how I manage my crypto asset portfolio I was able to help you find some inspiration!
