Hi Friend,
Did you know that nearly half of all Fortune 500 CEOs have borrowed against their stock rather than selling shares?
(I read that in a Fortune article a couple years ago. I can't remember the exact number.)
The point is, over the last few days I've shown you how Michael Saylor, Elon Musk, and my client Sarah are all using the personal treasury model. But it's not just a few people doing this.
For centuries this has been common practice for the most wealthy. But you've needed massive fortunes to do it. Now Bitcoin allows the rest of us to do it too.
Most people assume that Saylor, Musk, Ellison, and Bezos can do this because they're so rich they can absorb the risk. They can afford to be reckless, but it's too dangerous for us.
That's exactly backwards.
Bigger numbers don't make risk disappear. Bigger numbers make mistakes more catastrophic. You go broke faster at that scale, not slower.
I read a story about how Ellison borrowed against $82 billion in Oracle shares. He didn't do that because he's cavalier about risk. He's doing it because he ran the numbers, built the rules, and structured the downside protection before he ever touched the capital.
That's the part most people miss. It's not the borrowing that makes this work. It's the framework around the borrowing. The criteria for when to do it. The guardrails that protect the compounding instead of interrupting it.
That's the framework I'm teaching on Thursday, May 7. Not a get rich story. The actual risk management logic behind how serious wealth is built and protected.
So if you've been reading these emails and you think, "But debt is dangerous!" you won't want to miss it.
It's free to join. You can grab a spot here.
