What Structured Bitcoin Treasury
Looks Like in Practice

Real business situations. Real decisions. Modelled on real market data.

All cases are anonymised or clearly labelled as illustrative. Client confidentiality is a core principle of BTA. Most businesses holding Bitcoin treasury positions do not disclose this publicly, and protecting that confidentiality is part of the service.

What Directors Say

I thought this would take months to set up. We had Bitcoin on the balance sheet by Day 2.

My accountant said it was actually straightforward once he had the pack. He wished more clients came prepared like this.

The numbers in the erosion calculator were the moment it clicked. We were losing more than we thought.

UK Manufacturing Business — Protecting £600,000 in Idle Cash

Business Size

£2m to £10m revenue

Idle Cash

£600,000

Allocation

5%

Timeframe

6 months

A UK manufacturing company with £600,000 in idle cash approached BTA concerned about sterling erosion. Following a Treasury Workshop, the board approved a 5% allocation (£30,000) structured over 6 months using a weekly cost averaging framework. The Bitcoin position was established through a regulated UK exchange with hardware wallet custody. Sized conservatively, a 50% Bitcoin drawdown would represent less than 2.5% of total treasury, a level the board was comfortable holding through. The board has since approved a review to increase allocation to 7.5% in the next financial year. Modelled example based on real market data from the relevant period.

Yorkshire Logistics Firm — First Board Approved Bitcoin Policy

Business Size

£2m to £10m revenue

Idle Cash

£400,000

Allocation

4%

Timeframe

4 months

A regional logistics business holding £400,000 in current accounts wanted to understand whether Bitcoin treasury was appropriate before their annual board strategy review. The BTA engagement covered allocation sizing, accounting treatment, and full board presentation documentation. The outcome was a board approved Bitcoin treasury policy, the first of its kind for the business, with a 4% initial allocation structured across a 12 week purchase window. The CFO noted that having formal governance documentation made the board conversation significantly easier than anticipated. Modelled example based on real market data from the relevant period.

Professional Services Partnership — HNWI Treasury Diversification

Business Size

£500k to £2m revenue

Idle Cash

£250,000

Allocation

8%

Timeframe

3 months

A senior partner at a UK professional services firm sought BTA advisory to structure a personal Bitcoin treasury allocation alongside business interests. The engagement focused on custody architecture, estate planning considerations, and a phased acquisition strategy. An 8% allocation of liquid reserves was structured using institutional custody and self custody hardware wallet. Full accounting and estate documentation completed within 3 months. Client details anonymised by request.

The Context

Behind Every Engagement

UK CPI has risen over 25% since 2020, eroding the real value of every pound held in cash

Business savings accounts paying 4 to 5% interest still deliver a negative real return against the true 11% annual hurdle rate

Bitcoin has outperformed sterling, gold, and UK equities over every 4 year rolling window since 2013
