00:00There's no universal correct percentage. Allocation depends entirely on risk tolerance,
00:05age, and financial goals. But most institutional and advisory frameworks converge on a range of
00:111% to 10% of an investable portfolio for individuals already holding an emergency fund
00:17and diversified core assets. 1. Conservative allocation, 1 to 3% suited to risk-averse
00:24investors or those near retirement. This range treats crypto as a speculative satellite position
00:30where total loss wouldn't meaningfully affect net worth. 2. Moderate allocation, 5 to 10% this
00:36is the range most frequently cited by wealth managers. E.g., some multi-asset frameworks
00:42from firms like Fidelity and VanEck have floated 1 to 5%, while more crypto-forward advisors suggest
00:49up to 10%. Fits investors with 10-plus year horizons and stable income who can tolerate 50-80%
00:56drawdowns, which Bitcoin has experienced multiple times, including roughly minus 65% in 2022 and
01:04minus 77% in 2018. 3. Aggressive allocation, 15% plus reserved for younger investors with high risk
01:13capacity, strong income stability, and conviction-based investing. Volatility here can swing
01:19portfolio value by double digits in weeks. Context changes the answer. Institutional investors,
01:26pensions, endowments, rarely exceed 1 to 2% due to fiduciary constraints. Younger individual investors
01:33with long horizons and known near-term liquidity needs can justify higher exposure. Anyone using leverage
01:39or holding crypto on exchanges rather than self-custody should reduce their target due to
01:45added counterparty risk. And investors in jurisdictions with unclear regulatory status,
01:50which shifts periodically, should factor in liquidity and tax. Uncertainty. I don't have verified
01:56current 2026 survey data on average retail allocation, so treat any specific average investor holds
02:04X% claim with skepticism unless sourced from a recent, named study. Practical takeaway. Decide your
02:11allocation based on the amount you could lose entirely without changing your lifestyle. Start
02:16at the lower end of your comfort range and rebalance periodically rather than chasing price moves.
