Greetings dear community,

after about 6 months of investing I thought I would share my experiences here with newer investors like myself and to get opinions and experiences from the old hands.

My journey with investing started last year in December, I also registered on GetQuin relatively quickly as I had seen an advertisement for it. Like any complete beginner, instead of reading up, I just bought what I saw in a buddy's portfolio:

$MSTR (+0,6%)

$IREN (+8,96%)

$SPGI (+0,81%)

$AAPL (-0,21%)

$XRP (-2,65%)

As you can see in my current overview, these shares are still in my portfolio - the background here is the "bear market" we have been experiencing since the beginning of the year. I didn't want to sell the shares at a loss and thought that the small positions I had invested in were no big deal.

However, the aim here is definitely to sort out thoroughly.

Thanks to the community here, I was able to learn a lot, read a lot of posts and also wrote one or two posts myself. As a result, I was able to build up a lot of knowledge and realized that I needed a solid strategy. 🧠

Quite quickly, I started to set up an ETF savings plan on the $IWDA (+0,44%) This is still running today and is part of my strategy. I have also made one or two individual investments in:

$AMZN (+0,1%)

$AMD (+1,56%)

However, in contrast to my predecessors, I have been much more involved with both companies, and my investment horizon is also far into the future thanks to my young age. What's more, I bought the shares during the price slumps - which clearly paid off again on a day like today. 😎

My future strategy would be a core-satellite strategy, with the All-World as the core and an ETF in the emerging markets or Europe as a satellite. In addition, I would buy individual shares in proven stocks and a $BTC (-0,49%) savings plan, which is also simply left to run, as I also find the topic of crypto as such extremely exciting! 😅

Finally, I would like to thank all the regular "posters" who provide young investors like me with valuable market information, new stocks with exciting prospects and knowledge in areas such as trading or well thought-out strategies.

I can also appeal to beginners and would like to encourage you to post here, ask questions and don't let it get you down - I am also at the beginning of my career and yet I am confident, inquisitive and ready to get further into the subject after my training and really implement my strategy! 🚀

Have a nice evening and good luck in your investment career 📈

Hello everyone,

My portfolio, which reflects all, really ALL of my investments, has finally cracked the €30,000 mark.

As a 20-year-old trainee at a Volksbank, I think that's something to be relatively proud of.

There's already been a discussion on GetQuin: Yes, I collect Dom Pérignon champagne bottles. Can that be seen as an investment? I don't know. But they are collector's items that I was able to buy cheaply and 4 years later the price has risen somewhat. Well, it doesn't matter.

$MSTR (+0,6%) will be sold soon and everything will be shifted into the ETFs for the first time until I have dealt with it enough and what I invest the 8-10,000€ in.

I bought €4,800 in business assets out of boredom. Could the money have been better invested? Yes.

Well, it's already been canceled and will be paid out next year. Let's see what we do with it.

A €6,000 savings bond... I actually don't know what I was thinking. So please don't ask me. Just ignore it, please.

Building society savings: Will probably stay for now. I have very good conditions as an employee and I don't want to lose them.

Well, that should be it.

Come on, blame me for my bad decisions and for the fact that champagne is not an investment ist❤️🥰

Lg

Don

Love you all. Will have to post more regularly again or maybe not. Let's see gucken✌🏼

The current market sentiment at $BTC (-0,49%) makes me personally incredibly bullish. We are just scratching the $100k mark again and nobody seems to care.

With New Hampshire, we have the first US state with a strategic BTC reserve.

A bill also came into force yesterday in Arizona that does not allow direct investment, but transfers confiscated BTC to the state reserve. In many other states, SBR laws are currently going through the official legislative process, which you can follow here:

$MSTR (+0,6%) hosted "Strategy World 2025" in Orlando from May 5-8. A conference at which BTC strategies and use cases for companies were presented.

Among others were:

- Visa $V (+0,74%)

- Dell $DELL

- Salesforce $CRM (-0,38%)

- Siemens $SIE (-0,96%)

- Palantir $PLTR (+0,57%)

- JP Morgan $JPM (-0,08%)

All of these companies are apparently involved with Bitcoin.

There are more and more strategy imitators. More and more companies are dedicating their entire business model to buying as much BTC as possible.

The funding rate is at bear market levels, which indicates a healthy, sustainable increase. There are no over-leveraged long trades in the market.

There is less and less BTC on the exchanges. The stock on the exchanges has been falling continuously for 5 years. BTC is not only being bought, it is being withdrawn from the exchanges. The supply is therefore falling continuously.

And while all this is going on, interest in Bitcoin is absolutely low, as can be seen from Google Trends.

It's interesting to see the direction in which this is all developing. What do you think?

Asset Entities $ASST and Strive Asset Management have entered into a merger agreement.

The merged company will continue to be listed on NASDAQ under the Strive brand and position itself as the first listed asset management and treasury company. $BTC (-0,49%) -treasury" company.

The new company aims to maximize Bitcoin holdings per share and increase the BTC/share ratio in the long term. In other words, just like $MSTR (+0,6%) or Twenty One.

Metaplanet Inc, a publicly listed company based in Tokyo, has established itself as a pioneer in institutional Bitcoin adoption in Asia. Since the launch of the "Bitcoin Standard" in April 2024, the company has pursued an aggressive strategy to integrate Bitcoin into its corporate finances.

📈 Impressive performance and capital raising

In December 2024, Metaplanet issued ¥4.5 billion (approx. $30 million) worth of zero-interest bonds to finance further Bitcoin purchases. This measure led to a 51% increase in the share price within five trading days and a total increase of 2,450% in 2024, with the company's market value exceeding the $1 billion mark.

In January 2025, Metaplanet announced that it would issue 21 million shares to raise approximately $745 million. This capital will be used to increase Bitcoin holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and to 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.

🏦 Strategic partnerships and infrastructure

Metaplanet works with SBI VC Trade to securely store its Bitcoin holdings. This partnership allows the company to use Bitcoin as collateral for financing while ensuring tax efficiency.

In addition, Metaplanet plans to open a US office in Florida to raise up to $250 million to further expand its Bitcoin strategy.

🏨 Integration of Bitcoin into the core business

Metaplanet is also transforming its traditional hotel business. The last remaining hotel in Tokyo, the Royal Oak in Gotanda, is being renamed "The Bitcoin Hotel". It will serve as a venue for Bitcoin seminars and investor events and strengthen the company's position in Japan's crypto ecosystem.

📊 Current status and outlook

Metaplanet currently holds 1,762 BTC worth around $171 million. The company plans to increase these holdings to 10,000 BTC by the end of 2025 and to 21,000 BTC by the end of 2026.

With this strategy, Metaplanet is positioning itself as a leader in institutional Bitcoin adoption in Asia. The combination of aggressive capital raising, strategic partnerships and integration of Bitcoin into its core business makes Metaplanet an exciting player in the global crypto market.

Mohawk Industries presents results for the first quarter

Mohawk Industries, Inc. $M1HK34 presented its financial results for the first quarter of 2025 on May 3, 2025. The net profit of 73 million US dollars means earnings per share of 1.15 US dollars. Adjusted, the net profit is even higher at USD 96 million, resulting in adjusted earnings per share of USD 1.52. Net sales amounted to 2.5 billion US dollars, a decrease of 5.7% compared to the previous year. Jeff Lorberbaum, Chairman and CEO, explained that sales were impacted by two shipping down days and negative exchange rate effects. Despite these challenges, productivity increases and restructuring measures had a positive impact on earnings. To boost investor confidence, Mohawk also bought back 225,000 shares for around USD 26 million. However, the uncertainty caused by announced tariffs, particularly on products from China, remains a negative factor for market conditions. Adjusted earnings per share of between USD 2.52 and USD 2.62 are expected for the second quarter.

MicroStrategy shares higher on the NASDAQ: Strategy remains despite red figures

In the USA, MicroStrategy $MSTR (+0,6%) published its quarterly figures on Thursday after the close of trading, which once again show red figures.

Revenue amounted to USD 111.1 million and fell short of the previous year's figure of USD 115.3 million. Despite these financial challenges, the company remains committed to its Bitcoin strategy and plans to further expand its holdings. Last quarter, MicroStrategy acquired 301,335 bitcoins, bringing its total holdings to an impressive 553,555 bitcoins. The company has raised its Bitcoin return target to 25% and is aiming for a Bitcoin profit of 15 billion US dollars by 2025. Investors did not fail to react: The share price temporarily rose by 4.48% to 398.69 US dollars.
