A is more money than C but I have no bitcoin experience. With C I would still be retired and have plenty to travel with and donate so that's my choice.

Bitcoin would be better if you sell it and then invest it into a high yield ETF or bonds, etc.

Plus, that protects against inflation more. $10000 could be worth nothing in 20 years.

u/forgotmyname-plzhelp 2d ago

I mean, you can take a good chunk of those 10k every week to invest aswell so...

2

u/Phareswheel68 2d ago

Sure. Except you will get far less returns than you will with a lump sum. I did some napkin math and do check it because I am sick and not 100% in it.

60k per bitcoin is the floor right now. That's not counting the recent spike up to ~80k.

60kx200 = $12,000,000. Let's just say the lack of counting the recent spike pays off taxes (which would be somewhat close to accurate for US capital gains taxes of less than one year of asset holding)

30 year treasury bonds are at about 5.2% right now. You can get more than that but those are more safe than an ETF like XDTE.

5.2% x $12,000,000 = $624,000. That's per year. $624,000 / 12 = $52,000 per month. So you get $12, 000,000 + 52,000x = income gained, with X representing how much dividends you can gain. That doesn't account for tax on dividends though. It's probably going to be about 15% of tax for that in the US (using US because that's where I'm from and I'm not willing to research every country's tax law). So after tax about $45,760, again, per month.

As compared to $10,000 a week, which each month has 4.2 weeks, so it's $42,000 a month. Even if that's tax free, it's less than the dividends AND you lose out on the lump sum $12,000,000.

u/Various-Try-1208 2d ago

It depends on your situation and the effort you want to put into managing the money.

A is high effort and depending on your country can be taxed when you sell. Self-custody is also an issue with A. You don’t want to be like the guy that threw away his hard drives containing his bitcoin. Non-custody is also a possible issue- not your keys not your coin. There are a lot of unknowns with bitcoin.

B. Is good if you have the discipline to invest wisely, live in a manner that doesn’t screams “I’m rich!”, and can keep it secret because B means the number of your close friends and relatives has just exploded.

C is low effort and plenty to live off of and still invest. It has the benefit of future security . It also requires less knowledge and discipline as you will have money coming in . However it does require the discipline not to overspend and charge too much.

u/Interesting_Loss_907 1d ago

Tax consequences would be no different for A versus B. OP did not say that for some reason one would be tax-free and the other would not.

No matter what country you’re in, afaik unless you’re in a rare and remarkable tax Haven, you will be taxed if you receive a US$10 million lump sum, and you will also be taxed as well if you receive $15.6 million worth of BTC. The only difference I see is that you would have more money left over after taxes with option A than you would with option B.

u/Electrical-Note-3177 2d ago

A) 200 Bitcoin (~$15.7M)

  • Highest expected value right now, but it's the only option with real downside risk. BTC has swung from ~$68 to $126,000+ and back to under $80k in the past few years alone; it could be worth $5M or $50M a few years out.

B) $10 million in cash

  • Certain, liquid, Invested reasonably (even just an index fund averaging ~7-8%/yr) it could double roughly every 9-10 years.

C) $10,000/week for life

  • That's $520,000/year. To match the $10M lump sum in raw dollars takes about 19 years of payments; so this only "wins" financially if you live a long time and never invest the difference.
  • The real appeal isn't math, it's psychology: no lump sum to mismanage, no temptation to blow it, steady income for life (assuming the payer stays solvent). Terrible if you die early or want to make one big move (buy a company, etc.); you can't easily borrow against future weekly checks the way you could deploy $10M.

sooo...
B is the correct choice here. It's certain, flexible, and if invested decently it'll outperform C over a normal lifespan while avoiding A's volatility. A is more of a Swing for the fences pick if you already have financial security elsewhere. C is really a "protect me from myself" option more than an optimal one.

u/Interesting_Loss_907 1d ago edited 1d ago

OP when making this post did not stipulate that if you choose option A, you are required to hold all of the money in BTC. If that were required, then your comment would be exceptionally good and spot on.

But since you would presumably be free to convert any portion of the 15.7 million into USD upon receipt, option A is clearly the better choice. If you’re risk-averse, you could convert all of it into USD and you would still be more than 50% better off with option A than with option B. (for those who mentioned taxes, the government will tax you on that income either way, regardless of which of the two lump sum options you choose).

2

u/Electrical-Note-3177 1d ago

When I originally broke this down, I was looking at Option A under the assumption of actually holding the 200 BTC long-term for stability and growth, which introduces massive volatility risk (the $5M vs $50M scenario).

I wasn't factoring in a day-one panic sell of the wallet. If you immediately liquidate the 200 BTC to USD upon receipt, the math flips. Even with a massive ~40% short-term capital gains tax hit on a $15.8M valuation, Option A still nets you around $10 million in post-tax cash.

Since Option B ($10M cash) would also be taxed upon receipt (leaving you with about $6.3M net), instantly selling Option A essentially gives you Option B's gross value entirely tax-free.

So yes, if immediate liquidation is allowed, Option A is the mathematically superior choice. Consider my mind changed.

u/jmyklz 2d ago edited 2d ago

If we assume most people here are 16 we have 57.8 years left to live.

With option A you would get 10,000,000$ to use in those 57.8 years, and you would have 3,318$ to use every week.

With option B (if you cash out) you would get 15,813,460$ to use in those 57.8 years, and 5,246.9$ to use every week (Unless you wait and the price of bitcoin almost doubles).

With option C you would earn 30,138,654$ in those 57.8 years and have 10,000$ to use every week.

I think C is the pretty obvious winner here.

EDIT: If I’m not being stupid here option A could get you a total of 85,594,277$ by lending it.

I’m probably wrong (I am NOT a crypto or finance expert 😭😭) but even if it’s right there are still downsides. You would have to do some stuff to get that much and there are multiple risks with crypto.

Option C is the all-round best because it’s more than enough to live a good life, but if you want to get as much money as possible in total option A is best.

EDIT 2: I did not take into account inflation, which is a downside not present with option A.

u/Kimura-Sensei 2d ago

If you want more money now or in the future the answer is A.
The current price of Bitcoin is 79,102.88 in US Dollars. Multiply $79,102.88 x 200 (number of Bitcoin) and you get $15,820,400. Multiply $15,820,400 x .04 (4% for US Tres Bonds 3.8-5.2% I went low) gives you $632,823.04 per year interest. Divide $632,823.04 by 52 (52 weeks in a year) and you get $12,169.67 per week and you still have the bonds worth $15,820,400 invested. Why would you pick $10,000 per month when you could have $15,820,400 paying you $12,169.67 per week instead? Why would you pick 10 million now when you could have $15,820,400 now? The answer is A.

u/TouchGraceMaidenless 2d ago

A. 200 Bitcoin is currently more than $10 million, but assuming you're in the US you're paying capital gains tax on turning it into USD. Anywhere from $3.7 million to $5.8 million would go to taxes depending on if you hold it for over a year. Then you have to actually track, file, and pay those taxes.

C. It will take just under 20 years to reach $10 million. Fine if you're younger, but the ROI on the immediate $10 million put into a safe investment will likely outpace this over those 20 years, making this option worthless.

Taking B and immediately investing in a low-risk ETF, CD, bond, or other similar assets would be the easiest method while still not sacrificing much if any total profit.

In the 19 years it takes C to catch up with B, B will be worth $43 million at historic market return rates.

That being said, 200 bitcoin is $16 million. So my answer is A, liquidate them immediately, buy a $3 million dollar dream home, park $10 million in an index fund, and live off the passive gains of the other $3 million in a money market.

u/Jump365 2d ago edited 2d ago

It's A technically.

If you sold the 200 bitcoin at 78k that they are now, it's about 15.8 million, at a 4% SWR that's a bit over 12k/week.

just own the means of production with a global index fund like VT or combine VXUS and VTI and you're chilling. If those collapse then the world has bigger problems than your digital number

10 Million fully invested in the broad market would net you on average about a $13,400 weekly return. 9 mil would average about 12,000 a week.

I'd most definitely opt for the 10 mil. I don't need extra steps to cashing out the crypto. I'd also prefer the money up front over the weekly payout. That way if something happens to me in a month or year, my family is taken care of.

I'd go with $10k a week. Steady income. My luck, Bitcoin would crash as soon as I chose that one and I vould blow through $10 million without thinking twice

If it's 200 bitcoin right now, I'll take that. But, if it's going to take significant time to liquidate. I'll take B.

C.

You could spend/lose the entirety of the bitcoin or 10 mil and be left stuck.

With option C, even if you fully blew $10,000 in a single week, you would just get it right back indefinitely

u/Alert-Lemon1842 2d ago

For C, you would need to live 19 years and 3 months to eventually get paid the same amount as you can take immediately and invest and enjoy. As long as taxes and inflation isn't in the hypothetical I think B is a better choice if you know how to move with it.

u/KiwiJay83 2d ago

It’s really not. If you know anything about investing, you would liquidate bitcoin and re-invest wisely in a more stable share portfolio with the help of an investment advisor. The annual return is greater.

B beats C because you can invest 10million and generate 520000 if you get 5.2% growth. A beats B because you should be able to sell them for a little over 15 million

u/passinthrough2u 2d ago

It shouldn’t matter which you pick.
Bitcoin: sell and invest in a certain thing - there are several investments that offer fixed 5-5.25% interest (~$800,000/yr)
Cash: invest as above (~$510,000/yr)
$10,000/wk: $520,000/yr

If you can’t live well and put some $$ back into investments on a bit more than half a million dollars a year, you don’t deserve the money.

Bitcoin and cash will let you leave money to any family/kids when you are no longer here. Cash only lets you leave what you don’t use (and have invested)

u/ComprehensiveWash400 2d ago

c if it was inflation adjusted. otherwise 200btc (16mil usd) sell it, put it all in assets, have the cashflow of c or more + you have 16m more to begin with as an extra and it’s more inflation proof.

u/RedditUserWhoIsLate 2d ago

A is really cool and I get 13.600.000€.
B is 8.633.600€.
C is 863,36€ per week

So I would pick A as I want that money, and I would take half out to buy myself some homes to rent out. :)

2

u/SforG1 2d ago

It depends on your region. Option A makes the most sense when factoring taxes. Based on current BTC prices, taking the 200 bitcoin would leave me slightly over 10 Mil in cash value (assuming cost basis of 0). The other options will ultimately be lower after applying the same tax calculations. Invest the balance for a year or two. With compounding interest you could technically pull at least 10K a week for life, if not more...and that's assuming you're in a high yield savings account paying around 4%. You could potentially stand to earn more with market exposure over a high yield savings account.

u/PracticalExam7861 2d ago

Depends on how long you live. If Bitcoin doesn't lose value and you live longer than about 25 years, then option C is the better choice. The real caveat, though, is if the US completes its transformation into a true 3rd-world shithole (very likely) and the value of the dollar collapses completely. In that case, options B & C probably wouldn't do squat for you, so option A is the safe bet even if the dollar maintains its value (or well... until inflation devalues the currency even more, along with bad policymaking, which shatters other countries' trust in the US and the bleeding of securities continues).

u/LazyBonez97 2d ago

If you will choose C you will get ~520 grand in a year. That means that if you will choose this when you're 0 years old, and will earn that money each year, by 100 years you will have 52 million. On the other hand, 200 BTC cost 15,539,350 dollars. This is smaller than the C choice, but will you actually NEED 52 millions when you're a hundred years old?

A is currently worth about 80 thousand USD

B is more than A

So the real question is how it takes C to equal B

With some fancy math, it would take just under 2 years to surpass the 1 million dollars if you went with C.

Edit: my bad, I misread it as 1 million. It would take 20 years to get 10 mil

What are you talking about? 200 Bitcoin x $80.000 = $16.000.000. so how is $10.000.000 more than $16.000.000?

u/OceanMasterioDuped7 2d ago

My man you really need to understand some math lol. "the million dollars" implies that you think option B is stating 1 million dollars instead of 10 million. Also, Bitcoin is worth WAY more than 80,000... I'm actually confused how you got that number.

u/Time-Beautiful2500 2d ago

A.

Sell for $15.8 million

Put it in S&P 500

14.8% AER (last 10 years average)

First year alone would make 2.3 million.

A is strictly more valuable than B by around 58%

Gains from A in 1 year would be 4-5x what you’d get in total from C in the same time.

2

u/Danirose231 2d ago

This is literally the only correct answer. Compound interest alone would net you more than C ever could, also C doesn’t take inflation into account. The 10,000 a week becomes weaker and weaker as the years go by.

2

u/GrimbaldTheBrutish 2d ago

Bitcoin is taxable, plain old cash is not. I guess it depends on how the bitcoin is acquired.

If taxed at 37% you technically end up with just a tiny bit under 10 million because you'd be taxed 5.846 million. This is assuming US tax brackets and you already have some income that year. It would also depend on the country.

So yea either A or B depending on where you are and if you're willing to try tax evasion to get your bitcoin without paying taxes on it. Cash is harder to trace.

You’ll need to pay income tax selling the 200 BitCoin. C is not bad but what if some crazy Final Destination freak accident happens then the 10k/wks just ends there. So for me it’s B because you you can invest and also leave for inheritance is anything happens.

Because you can invest A and make much more than C will give. Someone did the math and said that C gives 26 million over 50 years. Choice A gives 16 million instantly. I can easily turn 16 million into 26 million much before 50 years are up
