Trade Alert: Bitcoin Bull
Taking advantage of today's market downturn to bet on two undervalued, Bitcoin-related names.
Zigging When The Market Zags
In my post earlier today, I mentioned having a few more bearish trades teed up on companies likely to be negatively impacted by tariffs.
With stocks down sharply today, I have put those trades on hold for the next bounce. Instead, I took profits on a couple of bearish options positions expiring Friday,
Options
Puts on Apple (AAPL 1.18%↑). Bought for $1.81 on 4//14/2025; sold for $2.71 on 4/21/2025. Profit: 50%.
Puts on Nvidia (NVDA -2.83%↓). Bought for $1.56 on 4/9/2025; sold for $4.02 on 4/21/2025. Profit: 158%.
And placed bullish bets on two undervalued Bitcoin-related names.
Why Bitcoin?
Because it’s starting to behave like its own asset class, instead of like a more volatile version of the Nasdaq. While the NASDAQ 100-tracking Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ 0.00%↑) is down about 3% as I type this, Bitcoin is up about 2.5%.
Why These Two Stocks?
Because they are both profitable and cheap, with most of their market caps backed by cash and crypto:
Company A
Bitcoin Holdings: 742.1 BTC, valued at approximately $69.3 million
Ethereum Holdings: 27,623.9 ETH, valued at approximately $92.1 million
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Approximately $98.6 million
Total Market Capitalization: Approximately $325 million
Asset Composition Relative to Market Cap:
Bitcoin and Ethereum: ~50%
Cash: ~30%
Combined Liquidity (BTC + ETH + Cash): ~80%
Company B
Bitcoin Holdings: 2,298 BTC, valued at approximately $214.6 million
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Approximately $8.9 million
Total Market Capitalization: Approximately $295 million
Asset Composition Relative to Market Cap:
Bitcoin: ~73%
Cash: ~3%
Combined (BTC + Cash): ~76%
With that in mind, I placed bullish, longer term trades on both. The maximum downside risks on these are losses of 100%, and our maximum upsides could be much higher if Bitcoin revisits its previous high later this year.
