The billionaire further revealed in a response to the Kraken crypto exchange’s growth lead Dan Held’s tweet that the other 90% of his investments are attached up “in precious metals miners”.
Dan, I love your newsletter (to which I subscribe) Here some clarifications on my post:
10 % of "liquid portfolio" in BTC…not of my net worth!
The other 90% is in precious metals miners.
For me it's no "stampede", started with Grayscale at 800 dlls BTC in 2016.
