What if you add Bitcoin?

Adding Bitcoin changes the risk-return profile. Here is how different allocations compare, reducing other positions proportionally:

Returns are geometric (compound). Sharpe ratio uses 3.10% risk-free rate (US Cash, JPM LTCMA 2026). Forward-looking estimates, not predictions.

How these numbers are calculated

Expected returns and volatilities come from J.P. Morgan's 2026 Long-Term Capital Market Assumptions (30th edition). Portfolio risk is computed using the full 27x27 correlation matrix, not simple weighted averages. The Sharpe ratio uses 3.10% (US Cash) as the risk-free rate.
