Bitcoin for High Net Worth Canadians

Portfolio diversification. Bitcoin is uncorrelated with traditional asset classes — equities, bonds, and real estate. In a well-structured portfolio, even a 1-5% Bitcoin allocation meaningfully changes risk/return characteristics.

Store of value. Bitcoin’s fixed supply (21 million) cannot be inflated by any central bank. For wealth preservation across generations, this is a material property.

Global portability. Unlike real estate or private equity, Bitcoin can be transferred globally within minutes, without intermediaries.

Non-custodial ownership. Wealth held in your own Bitcoin wallet is genuinely private — not subject to bank freezes, counterparty risk, or institutional custody failures.

For HNW Canadians who hold Bitcoin and need CAD liquidity without selling:

DWM Canada offers Bitcoin-backed loans at 50% LTV, 12% annual interest, with Bitcoin held in segregated custody at Balance Trust. No sale, no capital gains event, capital unlocked.

This is the same principle as a real estate equity line — but with Bitcoin as the collateral.

For significant Bitcoin positions, tax planning is essential:

– Capital gains on disposition (50% inclusion rate in Canada)
– Estate planning considerations for Bitcoin in your estate
– Corporate holding structures for Bitcoin positions
– Consult a Canadian tax lawyer or CPA specializing in digital assets

For purchases above $50,000 CAD, 1Bitcoin.ca recommends:

– Bank wire transfer (no daily limits)
– Direct contact with our team for large OTC transactions
– Enhanced verification may be required
