If you own a Bitcoin ETF, especially if it's GBTC, you need to listen up. Spot Bitcoin ETFs provide price exposure to Bitcoin, not direct ownership. You can't withdraw it. You can't self-custody it. And they charge you a management fee every year to hold it. Well, Swan recently announced Swan Real Bitcoin Exchange, and it's ready to use right now. RBX is a structured in-kind exchange that converts your spot Bitcoin ETF shares into real on-chain Bitcoin. It does that without selling on the open market, and it's designed to support a tax-efficient outcome. So for example, if you hold GBTC, you're paying 1.5% a year in management fees for Bitcoin price exposure. But by swapping GBTC for real Bitcoin with RBX, you can drop that figure as low as 0% by just holding it in self-custody. This is designed in a way that maintains your cost basis and in a manner that supports the deferral of capital gains tax. So if you own a Bitcoin ETF, especially if it's GBTC, you need to talk to Swan Private about RBX today. Head over to swan.com forward slash WBD and book in a call with one of their team. That's swan.com forward slash WBD.

Do you want to pay less in taxes and stack more Bitcoin? Of course you do. Well, by mining Bitcoin with Blockway, you can. Under section 168K of the US tax code, Bitcoin mining servers qualify for 100% bonus depreciation. This means every dollar you spend on miners can directly offset your income in a single year. And it's true for both business owners and W2 earners. So if you have $100,000 in ordinary income, you can purchase $100,000 in miners and potentially offset your tax liability entirely. Blockware's mining as a service does all the heavy lifting. They secure the rigs, they source the low-cost power, and they handle all the day-to-day maintenance.

You wouldn't reuse a Bitcoin address, so why does your phone broadcast the same identifier for life? Every SIM has a static ID and carriers, ad networks and bad actors all use it to track you. The big carriers have been caught selling that data over and over again. CAPE is America's privacy first mobile carrier. Their identifier rotation feature changes your ID every 24 hours so you look like a different subscriber every single day. And SIM swaps are off the table. Your number can't move without a 24 word phrase that only you hold. There's also no name at sign up, no social security number, and there's no profile to build on you. If you're a Bitcoiner in America, I honestly don't know why you'd use any other network. You can head over to cape.co forward slash WBD and use the code WBD for 33% off your first six months.

If you hold Bitcoin for long enough, there's probably going to come a time when you need some dollars. Maybe it's for a business expense, a tax bill, a property purchase, but whatever it is, you might not want to sell your Bitcoin. That's where Ledn comes in. Ledn lets you borrow against your Bitcoin so you can access cash without selling your stack. They've originated over $10 billion of loans since 2018, and they've operated through multiple Bitcoin cycles. And Ledn has now introduced new tiered rates, so there's no negotiation, no guesswork. It's just the larger the loan, the lower the rate, and you can see all the rates upfront before you apply. The important part for me, though, is the custody. With Ledn's custody loans, your Bitcoin collateral is never lent out to generate interest. You also get all the tools to properly manage the loan, including LTV alerts, auto top-ups, and the ability to repay whenever you want with no penalties. I've used Ledn myself. The application has taken me less than 15 minutes, and you get dollars in your account within hours. So you don't need to choose between getting liquidity and sticking to your long-term Bitcoin plan. With Ledn, you can do both. Check your rate using the loan calculator at ledn.io and use the code WBD for 0.25% off your first loan. That's L-E-D-N.io and use the code WBD.
