Bitcoin exposure without sitting through every drawdown.

Two things. GDLC, a diversified crypto ETF, makes up the core and stays in place at all times. SBIT is the inverse bitcoin fund used as a hedge, applied in varying amounts as conditions deteriorate. Anything not allocated sits in cash. You can see the exact holdings in your account at any time.

No. There is no leveraged sleeve here. Crypto ETFs are volatile enough on their own, so the strategy manages how much exposure you carry rather than amplifying it.

None of them are held by this strategy, but they come up often, so here is how they compare. IBIT from iShares, FBTC from Fidelity, ARKB from ARK and 21Shares, BITB from Bitwise, HODL from VanEck and GBTC from Grayscale are all spot bitcoin ETFs differing mainly on issuer and expense ratio. BITI is an inverse bitcoin fund like SBIT. BITU seeks two times daily bitcoin exposure. BITO holds bitcoin futures rather than spot bitcoin. This strategy uses GDLC for the core and SBIT for the hedge.

GDLC gives you a diversified basket of large crypto assets, where bitcoin is the primary holding. It's better to be diversified so the core is not entirely dependent on one coin. IBIT only gives you bitcoin exposure.

SBIT moves in the opposite direction of bitcoin. The strategy applies it in a sustained downtrend and removes it when conditions improve. It is a hedge against part of the core, not a bet against crypto assets.

You can, and plenty of people do. The thing to weigh is that bitcoin has fallen a long way more than once. Holding through that with no hedge and no cash is a choice, and most people discover partway down that it was not the choice they thought they were making.

No. The strategy holds exchange-traded funds in a regular brokerage account. There are no exchanges, wallets or private keys involved, and nothing is held on a crypto platform.

Crypto assets are extremely volatile and can lose a large share of their value quickly. The funds used here carry their own risks, including tracking differences from the assets they hold, custody arrangements at the fund level, and regulatory change. The inverse fund resets daily, so its returns over periods longer than a day can differ from the inverse of bitcoin over the same period. Managing the position does not remove any of this.

A lot. This is among the highest-risk strategies we offer. The system reduces exposure and can hedge, but it cannot prevent losses and it will not get out at the top. Only use money you can afford to lose entirely.

No. It is built as a slice. Most people pair it with a Core model portfolio holding the bulk of their money and keep this as the smaller, higher-risk piece. You choose the size.

0.50% per year on assets under management, or $4 a month for accounts under $10,000. The minimum to start is $1,000. Your account is held at Alpaca Securities LLC, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. alphaAI never holds your money directly.

Yes, any time. There is no lock-in and no performance fee. You can change how much is allocated, switch strategies, or withdraw.
