Q2 2025 portfolio review | Amazing quarter for crypto but looking great ahead for Tesla?

Amazing end to the quarter as crypto and indexes has gone up significantly. The portfolio has went up and we are seeing more adoption into cryptocurrency as Trump pushes for more crypto bills. I am writing this in Q3 so not exactly accurate. I was pretty busy in Q2 so was not able to capture much of my thoughts on the portfolio. 

My portfolio is now well above $200,000 hitting $250,000 and what a difference from the previous quarter. As mentioned previously, I did a short trade on metaplanet and moved the profits into Bitcoin (IBIT), QQQ and CSPX, happy with that move.

Allocating of monthly DCA

As we see stocks and crypto make all time highs, it does make me wonder if I should be stock piling some cash and if the monthly DCA should go on. But I will be saving some cash on hand.

Stocks

Stocks were down end of Q1 namely Tesla as it struggled to gain upward momentum as Elon was not on good terms with Trump and it was even putting Tesla in trouble but writing this in Q3, stocks have gone up pretty much. Most of my holdings are actually in Tesla and QQQ as well as CSPX so it can be volatile. But overall, it has been good for QQQ, not so for Tesla. We can see some roll out of Tesla FSD and it is expanding, we also saw the Tesla diner opening. As for now, I will be holding onto the existing positions and maybe adding occasionally.

Crypto

With Bitcoin heading up, it has been great and Ethereum has also been up on a ride after a long while. Holding onto Ethereum all this time has been tough as everything has been going up while ETH stayed flat for pretty long.

My crypto portfolio has hit all time high and it’s been great. Added some BTC when it experienced a slight dip to 116,000 and 114,000 recently but other than that, nothing.

Portfolio has hit an all time high and I am thinking if I should still be adding or taking some profit but I have been liking to check it and seeing a higher value excites me. Trying not to relate it to my happiness because then a crash would make me upset.

Syfe REITs

REITs have also gathered some momentum as interest rate looks poised to be cut. The portfolio is now in profit in excess of a few hundred, nothing much. There were a few surprises as interest rate was expected to drop or for the Fed to be at least squeeze in a rate cut but so far none has been done.

I have been placing money into this portfolio monthly, about $100-$200 monthly since I started the portfolio in 2022 and it would have performed better if I placed it in QQQ or CSPX but it provides me a dividend of about $50 per month now with a very marginal profit so I enjoy this diversification but have stopped the monthly contributions. I let the dividend be reinvested so that’s all.

Overall

With the portfolio hitting all time highs and interest rates still high, looking ahead for the interest rate cuts and what it will bring. Sentiments are high for September as an interest rate cut is anticipated, we shall see. In the meantime, hoping to see the market go to greater heights.

Taking profit after making a 2X and where did I divert the profits to?

I made an investment recently, doubling it in a few months and as I always tend not to sell, I took the opportunity to sell and lock in the profits as it was a bitcoin treasury company that I invested in based on someone I follow on X.

It wasn’t a calculated move as I just felt the momentum and wave of excitement for it was phenomenal hence I knew it was a short trade. It wasn’t easy having to monitor the price and because I wasn’t well researched into the company, when the price dropped, I was quite irritated, in the end, I decided to leave with some profits and keep a small position of it.

Metaplanet

I had a low 5 digit cash on hand and decided to do a short trade on it or just sell some cash secured puts while earning some premiums. It was early May 2025 and I saw on X @vincent13031925 talking about this company called Metaplanet, I dive into research more, finding out that it is a bitcoin treasury company with 1 remaining hotel in Tokyo, Japan.

They used to own hotels worldwide but was hit by Covid and hence the CEO dived into Bitcoin. I liked Metaplanet comparatively to other Bitcoin Treasury companies as firstly, it is based in Japan! Singaporeans loveeeeee anything Japanese because we know that they are more detailed and usually think a lot about risk before making a decision.

A bitcoin treasury company in Asia and especially in Japan where the currency has been dropping means that the population might be seeking an alternative to the Japanese Yen to save as it was corroding year on year. Bitcoin could be the answer. @vincent13031925 also listed out many of the actions of the board and how they can take advantage of the low interest rate in Japan to raise funds as well as issue more shares to raise funds which dilute shareholders but increase bitcoin holdings.

It sounded smart and I knew it was gaining traction especially since they had a listing on the US OTC Markets and the Germany markets. With the traction on X, it seems that everyone was excited, I made my move and bought in my first tranche at 580 yen and added more at 619 yen and finally at 606 yen.

Selling

In June 2025, I decided to sell my position at 1508 JPY leaving just a very small position in case it goes hyperbolic, it was not easy deciding to sell as I do have some inertia in selling as I always think that it will go up more but overall it was a good one for me as I didn’t need to keep looking at the price and it was intended to be a short trade.

With the profits, I increased my position in QQQ and Bitcoin. Overall from June till now, it was a good diversification of my profits as Bitcoin has seen substantial growth this 2 weeks. It has also propelled my portfolio value.

But I definitely am not into short term trading. The metaplanet thesis still stays and they are accumulating bitcoin at a rapid pace, the CEO looks up to Michael Saylor and so they want to be like Strategy but in Asia. I am still holding a small portion but in the meantime just enjoying seeing the green in the market!
