If You Bought One Deep OTM Bitcoin Put Option Every Month Since 2018, Could You Make Money in the Long Run?

Based on a systematic backtest from 2018 to 2026, this study examines the long-term profitability of a monthly strategy of buying one deep out-of-the-money (OTM) put option on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with a target delta of 0.01 and a 30-day expiration. The results are highly divergent. The strategy is not a stable source of profit but a classic, path-dependent tail insurance tool characterized by extreme right skew, very low win rates, and severe drawdowns. For BTC, the strategy yielded a final total return of 97.62% (CAGR: 8.66%), while for ETH, it resulted in a -73.07% loss (CAGR: -14.78%). The performance difference is attributed to BTC's extreme payouts being sufficient to cover the long-term cost of premiums, whereas ETH's were not. Key characteristics of the strategy include: * Extremely low win rates (BTC: 2.04%, ETH: 1.02%). * Catastrophic maximum drawdowns (BTC: -97.24%, ETH: -93.82%). * The median trade return was -100% for both assets. * Profits are driven entirely by a few extreme winning trades, with the top 5 trades contributing over 10x the net profit for BTC. * Notably, not all major market crashes (e.g., March 2020, LUNA, FTX) resulted in profitable positions due to timing and strike price placement. Parameter sensitivity analysis showed that a delta of 0.02 offered a more balanced risk-return profile across metrics. The strategy is best suited for investors who can tolerate years of continuous losses, view it as portfolio insurance rather than a primary alpha generator, and seek convexity against extreme downside events. It is not suitable for those seeking stable returns or with low risk tolerance.

Mine Owners' New Business: Sitting on Land and Collecting Rent, Earning Billions Annually

The article "Mine Owners' New Business: Collecting Rent, Earning Billions Annually" explores the strategic pivot of Bitcoin mining companies towards AI infrastructure and high-performance computing (HPC) as Bitcoin approaches its supply limit. By 2026, with only 1 million Bitcoin left to mine and rising operational costs squeezing profitability, major mining firms are capitalizing on their existing assets—large-scale power capacity, data centers, and cooling systems—to serve the exploding demand for AI compute. Companies like IREN, Core Scientific, Cipher Digital, and Hut 8 have secured long-term contracts worth tens of billions of dollars with tech giants (Microsoft, Amazon, Google) and AI firms (Anthropic, CoreWeave) to provide GPU cloud services and HPC hosting. Financial reports highlight a stark contrast: while Bitcoin毛利率 have plummeted post-halving, AI-related services boast margins as high as 86%. Firms are rebranding, exiting mining, and leveraging their power infrastructure advantages—deploying AI data centers in months versus years for traditional builders. However, this转型 comes with risks: high debt from infrastructure upgrades, strict contract deadlines, regulatory hurdles, and operational challenges. The shift positions these companies as key "digital power stations" in the AI era, where control over electricity and grid access becomes a critical competitive edge. The period from 2026 to 2028 will be crucial for determining which players succeed in this high-stakes transition.

$25 Billion: Tesla Buys the Lowest-Tier Entry Ticket to the Chip Arms Race

Elon Musk has announced Tesla's plan to invest approximately $25 billion to build a semiconductor superfab named "Terafab," targeting 2nm process technology with a production capacity of 100,000 wafers per month. The move aims to address Tesla's soaring demand for AI chips, driven by its autonomous driving systems, Optimus robots, and upcoming Robotaxi fleet, which existing foundries like TSMC and Samsung cannot fully support. However, the $25 billion budget is considered insufficient by industry standards. For comparison, TSMC’s Arizona fab costs $165 billion, Samsung’s Taylor fab $44 billion, and Intel’s Ohio project $28 billion. A standard 2nm fab with 50,000 wafers/month typically requires around $28 billion, meaning Tesla’s goal is highly ambitious. Tesla’s chip development has been rapid: from HW3 (14nm, 144 TOPS) to AI5 (3/2nm, 2000+ TOPS), with performance multiplying every generation. Its growing reliance on external foundries led to a $16.5 billion long-term deal with Samsung for AI6 production. Terafab represents a natural shift toward self-sufficiency. The project faces significant challenges, including a 3–5 year construction period and additional time for production ramp-up. If Tesla follows industry timelines, Terafab may not be operational until 2029–2030, coinciding with expected mass production of Optimus and Robotaxi. Musk has also hinted at potential collaboration with Intel, which has advanced 18A process capacity. The $25 billion investment buys Tesla a entry ticket into semiconductor manufacturing—but whether it becomes a milestone in vertical integration or an overambitious project remains to be seen.
