March 3 News: Amid escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and increased global market volatility, Bitcoin investment firm ProCap Financial announced it has purchased 450 Bitcoins and launched a share buyback program to reduce the discount between the company’s stock price and net asset value (NAV).
ProCap Financial was founded and operated by well-known Bitcoin investor Anthony Pompliano. According to a company statement, the firm is adopting a dual strategy of “buying more Bitcoin + share repurchases” to increase the Bitcoin holdings per share and further enhance long-term shareholder value.
Anthony Pompliano stated that the company is executing two simultaneous actions: on one hand, continuously buying Bitcoin during market fluctuations to lower the overall cost basis; on the other hand, when the company’s stock is undervalued by the market, repurchasing shares to reduce the number of outstanding shares and increase each shareholder’s Bitcoin exposure.
Recently, due to tensions in the Middle East and macroeconomic uncertainties, the Bitcoin market has experienced significant volatility. Some investors are adopting risk-averse strategies, while institutions optimistic about digital assets view market corrections as opportunities to allocate more assets. For companies with Bitcoin as a core asset, expanding reserves during price swings is seen as a strategic move.
ProCap’s strategy also reflects a gradually emerging corporate capital management approach. When a company’s stock trades below its NAV, share repurchases can effectively increase the proportion of Bitcoin held by remaining shareholders. Additionally, increasing Bitcoin reserves during market downturns may provide greater asset flexibility when markets recover.
In recent years, more companies have begun exploring incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets. Some choose to increase holdings during market volatility to expand long-term digital asset reserves. ProCap’s purchase of 450 Bitcoins is viewed by some market observers as a new example of ongoing corporate Bitcoin reserve expansion.
With global macroeconomic uncertainties persisting, corporate Bitcoin investment models are gradually forming new capital allocation logic. For market participants focused on corporate Bitcoin reserves, institutional investment strategies, and long-term Bitcoin investment approaches, operations like ProCap’s may become a more common trend in the future.

Slippage: The Most Underestimated Profit Killer in Trading
Author: CryptoPunk
Many crypto traders have experienced the same disappointment: strategies that appear stable and profitable in backtests quickly see their returns shrink when actually deployed, sometimes turning from profit into loss. The issue is often not "misjudging the direction," but underestimating trading costs, especially slippage.
In crypto markets where bull and bear phases switch more rapidly, volatility is more intense, and order books are more fragmented, slippage is not a trivial decimal point—it is the real threshold that determines whether a strategy can survive. A deviation of just 2 or 3 basis points can, in high-turnover strategies, completely wipe out the theoretical alpha.
Based on long-term backtests of BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT, this article aims to answer a very practical question: to what extent does slippage erode strategy returns, and which strategies are most likely to be killed by slippage?
