Dan Shifflett — Bitcoin: A Hedge Against the Fiat System
At ATG, we’ve been screaming at the top of our lungs that the old world legacy companies will come crashing down. This’ll occur when new, innovative, non-debt-reliant companies take hold and pick up momentum.
As you can see, global debt is near record highs. That, combined with the increased interest rates we have endured over the past two years, will turn these legacy companies on their heads.
As this thesis plays out, many will diversify their assets. Bitcoin (BTC) is one of the places investors will head. With high-interest rates and massive debt, bitcoin will be seen as a hedge against the fiat system.
Here at ATG, we have many bitcoin companies in our model portfolios that we believe will do very well.
Mining ⛏ Bitcoin for Huge Profits
Bitfarms Ltd. (Nasdaq: BITF) is a bitcoin mining company powered by predominantly environmentally friendly hydroelectric and sustainable energy. BITF 0.00%↑ operates in the United States, Canada, Paraguay, and Argentina.
Earlier this week, it reported Q1 2023 results.
In Q1, BITF 0.00%↑ mined 1,297 bitcoin with a direct cost production of $12,500/BTC. Meanwhile, it sold 1,267 bitcoin at an average price of $22,500 /BTC.
It’s been mostly selling the bitcoin it mines to reinvest in the company. In Q1, it received and installed 3,000 new miners and added automated hardware diagnostic measures to improve machine repair times.
Additionally, it achieved 5.0 EH/s in Q1 and accelerated its guidance to achieve 6.0 EH/s in September.
Reminder, “EH/s” is Hashes per second, the units for mining power. The more EH/s — the more BTC that can be mined.
The Best Is Yet to Come for BITF 0.00%↑ 👀
BITF 0.00%↑ has roughly $41 million in cash and BTC holdings.
However, due to its ability to mine BTC and sell it for a massive profit to put toward company growth and expansion, as well as paying off debt, we’re bullish on BITF 0.00%↑.
Its stock price has been crushed since 2021. However, it’s up 174% this year.
We believe the worst is over for BITF 0.00%↑, and the stock price will continue to rise as the company continues to expand, pay off debt, and acquire BTC.

Speaking of bitcoin . . .
Last month, Paul released this video on his YouTube channel! 👇
In it, he laid out a mind-blowing bet that one credible investor made about BTC.
The video may be a few weeks old, but the information in it is still just as relevant!

#GBC100: Thursday, May 18, 2023
The #GBC100 is up 1.37% today.
Things are going our way now. It’s clear to investors that inflation has peaked, and the Fed is setting up to overtighten.
And it’s becoming equally clear that the companies in danger benefitted from 14 years of low rates.
That’s because those are the folks that have to reprice all that debt at untenable rates now. A good example of this is Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT), which reported results this morning and revealed that its interest expense jumped 53%.
Current rates on AAA corporate bonds are over 5%. That means WMT 0.00%↑ will end up paying over $2.5 billion as its debt reprices to current rates.
Where will WMT 0.00%↑ and legacy companies with similar issues get the cash to pay their interest?
As you can see from this note below from rating agency Fitch, WMT 0.00%↑’s free cash flow is expected to crash. So, it’s not going to come from free cash flow. It’ll have to cut costs and shrink.
WMT 0.00%↑ and legacy companies will shrink. And our companies are set to surge.
Our companies have little to no debt. Their innovation-based growth is set to take market share from legacy companies. As they do that, they'll generate free cash flow because of their pivots to profitability.
Those cash flows have rising value as disinflation and deflation take hold. That’s because under deflation future cash flows are worth more than present ones.
It’s been a difficult two years, but things are going our way. A bright and prosperous future lies ahead for us. I’m very #BOP for what’ll unfold now for us! 🚀
