How Much Bitcoin Should You Hold?
Probably Less Than You Think.
Published
Conventional guidance on Bitcoin allocation is often shaped by hype or extreme positions — from “go all in” and “only invest what you can afford to lose” speculation to vague rules of thumb like 1–2% of wealth allocation. These approaches often overlook thoughtful, risk-adjusted portfolio construction. For conservative investors and fund managers, such guidance offers little real utility.
Instead of relying on arbitrary figures like 1–2% — which lack any empirical basis — the Bit Reserve Index (BRi) was developed to provide a more grounded, data-informed perspective. BRi’s tools are designed for investors focused on capital preservation, wealth protection, and hedging against long-term shifts in global asset allocation.
BRi Bitcoin Allocation Calculation Tool
This calculator helps you estimate the minimum amount of Bitcoin that should be considered in a balanced portfolio, based on Bitcoin’s current share of global wealth. It offers a rational framework for gradually building exposure as adoption increases — or de-risking if the asset class declines.
Rather than overexposing or underallocating, the BRi model supports disciplined, defensive positioning in an emerging reserve asset — adjusting dynamically as Bitcoin's global financial footprint evolves.
This is not financial advice. It’s a strategic planning tool designed to inform rational exposure based on market share — not market hype.
