REVISION NEEDED: The mathematical inconsistencies in the $1M position scenario are critical and must be resolved before publication. The scenario table and narrative are in direct conflict regarding the ending value and tax offset calculations. Recommend:
- Clarify whether the January 2025 entry was at $102,800 per BTC or $1M per Bitcoin. If $102,800 per BTC, then 9.73 BTC at current $83,550 = $812,779, not $994,820.
- Reconcile the $26,914 'tax basis declined' statement with the $5,180 unrealized loss in the table.
- Replace or clarify the wash sale legislation reference with specific bill number, status, and effective date, or remove it as speculative.
- Verify the $6,000 rebalancing figure in the FAQ (if target allocation was 5% of $1M = $50k, and current value after 11% drop of that 5% = $44,500, the difference is $5,500, not $6,000—close but verify the assumption).
