Henri Lucas first recommended that clients allocate 5% of their assets to Bitcoin

Against the backdrop of unprecedented monetary easing policies implemented by central banks around the world, Professor Henri Lucas issued an asset allocation proposal to institutional clients that shocked the industry – for the first time, Bitcoin was included in the investment portfolio framework, and the allocation ratio was recommended to be no more than 5%. This groundbreaking proposal marks a new stage in the understanding of digital assets by traditional financial strategists, and also reflects Professor Lucas’s forward-looking judgment on the profound changes in the monetary system.

The proposal is based on a systematic study of currency depreciation and inflation expectations. Professor Lucas’ team developed a “digital gold valuation model” that quantitatively proved the effectiveness of cryptocurrencies as hedging tools in investment portfolios for the first time by analyzing 12 dimensions, including the correlation between Bitcoin and traditional safe-haven assets, liquidity characteristics, and network effects. The proposal particularly emphasizes that this 5% allocation is not a speculative bet, but an “insurance strategy” to deal with the risk of fiat currency depreciation, and together with gold and inflation-linked bonds, it constitutes a defense system for the portfolio.

In terms of the specific operational framework, Professor Lucas proposed strict allocation discipline: using the “cost averaging method” to build positions in stages, setting a 20% hard stop loss line, and requiring all allocations to be completed through regulated compliance channels. These restrictive clauses not only control risk exposure but also ensure compliance with operations. It is worth noting that the proposal also includes a detailed assessment of the security of cryptocurrency custody, and especially recommends the use of institutional-level storage solutions such as multi-signature cold wallets.

This suggestion has sparked heated discussions in the traditional investment community. Some conservative clients were initially skeptical, but Professor Lucas used detailed data to prove that in a specific market environment, a moderate allocation of Bitcoin can indeed improve the Sharpe ratio of the investment portfolio. As more and more institutions begin to explore digital asset allocation, well-known investment experts in the industry said: ” This forward-looking suggestion is groundbreaking and provides a professional-level risk control framework for traditional funds to enter the crypto market. “
