Three-year performance.
Comment: in terms of traditional performance, we look good. In doubling the account each year, we are in our fourth-year. Starting with $1,000 in July of 2022 we hit our goal in the first year of $2,000. We hit the second goal of $4,000 at the end of our first two-years. It took us about 15 months to hit our three-year goal of $8,000 (October ’25). The price sell off of Q$ ’25, in what we own, set us back to $7050, where we are today.
We like what we own at this point in time. The account value is $7,050. Our goal for July 2026 is $16,000.
We have work cut out for us in the next 6.5 months.
Our Belief: We will not hit our goal for the portfolio with our present holdings.
One question we constantly ask our self of each company is; Can this company’s price double in the next twelve months based on a combination of Fundamental Value and Fundamental Developments, News Flow, Technical Chart Pattern and Investor Sentiment?
Current thoughts on this Question for each position:
Galaxy Digital (GLXY*) – Yes but pushing the price/time limit within the 6-month target period. Longer-term, yes, Galaxy is the best global Investment Banker, Liquidity Provider, Trading Platform and Venture Capital combination company in the world. In addition, they are also a top three to four sized AI Data Center (single location owned real estate landlord) in the world. Galaxy is an excellent company, though the price is volatile. Can it double in 6.5-months? Maybe but not easy to achieve in 6-months. Galaxy is now well known and an institutional favorite. Galaxy will be our source of cash for the purpose of reaching this account’s goal. We have already identified a number of ideas that have greater upside potential (IMO) than Galaxy within the six and a half month period. We will likely sell half of our remaining Galaxy position to buy one of the new ideas. We are waiting to see how far this current up-draft has in it.
Strive (ASST*) – Yes, we believe we can double or more the price of strive in the next 6.5 months. Strive is now the 11 largest holder of BTC of the Bitcoin Treasury companies. They are doing a 20 share for one share reverse stock split. We applaud this move. The higher share price will allow institutional money to buy into the idea and that is where we feel the new buyers will come from. We also believe there will be an upgrade in the twelve-month target price by analysts after the Q4 earnings report.
SharpLink (SBET*) took a big hit in Q4 2025 but we are coming back. SharpLink in our opinion is the best Ethereum Treasury stock play of any ETH Treasury Company. BitMine Emersion (BMNR) is the largest holder of ETH but just increased it potential for shares outstanding to 50 Billion shares. SBET on the other hand is buying back shares to hold down the share count. SBET also has its management team led by Joe Lubin and Joe Chalom. Lubin was a co-founder at Ethereum (ETH). Lubin in also the founder of Consensys. Consensys is a leading blockchain software development company working in Ethereum. Consensys was a leading investor in SBET with a $150 million dollar investment to help launch SBET. Chalom is president of SBET. Chalom retired from a 20-year career at BlackRock where he we head of their Crypto/Blockchain division. His retirement lased one month. He received a call from his long time friend Joe Lubin, asking him if he was interested in joining Lubin at SharpLink. Obviously we know the answer. Could not ask for better Chairman and President of a new crypto/blockchain company. Experienced successful and well connected industry admired leaders. Joe Lubin and Mike Novogratz, Founder of Galaxy Digital, were close friends when they attended Princeton University.
So, expect some changes in the future downsizing Galaxy and introducing a new fresh idea that we believe will increase of total portfolio shares owned and have potential to 3X or more faster than Galaxy can 3X or more. This in no way say we are exiting Galaxy in other accounts related to LOTM

Let’s Make a Million$ Club (M&M Club)
Goal: Achieve 11 doubles, at a rate of one per year to build the account above $1 million dollars after tax.
Starting Date: July 22, 202
Starting Amount: $1,000 with no money added. For your personal account, contributions to the account will increase the rate of compounding. We are big fans of dollar-cost-averaging (DCA) – even if trading. Catching long-term trends is how one goes about creating wealth.
Perspective: The mental perspective for this account, the money at risk is what you have contributed. The rest is score keeping in the Game of Doubling. Patrick Ben-David provides the game outline – LOTM provides the ideas for the double. Our LOTM goal is to profile for Companies/Stocks that are in position to double in price within a one year time-line. Getting you to trust the process is one of our goals. Many times we buy when the market has hate, fear or apathy towards our ideas. Ride the trend as long as you can is our by-line.
LOTM Let’s Make a Million Guidelines:
- We profile for companies whose stock price has the potential to double in 12 months or less.
- LOTM looks to catch trends — not short-term trades. This is a taxable account and taxes are a cost of doing business. Long-term gains for a reduced tax rate is part of our plan.
- Each time we sell, we look to increase the # of shares in the new position above the number we sold. Expanding our comfort level with large numbers and the increased volatility of large numbers and concentrated positions is best accomplished progressively.
- We profile the company for fundamentals, capital structure, balance sheet, management, moat around the business, valuation and risk/reward of the company/stock as we consider the stock’s potential.
