1.0 Executive Summary

The purpose of this business plan is to raise and examine the allocation of $225,000 for a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency trading business located in Philadelphia. Bitcoin Trader, Inc. (“the Company”) will be actively engaged in the buying and selling of digital currency (both long term and short term strategies). The Company will also use a number of computer nodes in order to generate ancillary streams of revenue from mining digital and cryptocurrencies. The business was founded by John Smith. Revenue generating operations will commence in 2020.

1.1 Operations

As stated above, the principal revenue stream will come from the ongoing acquisition of digital currencies for capital appreciation purposes. The business will also use trading strategies that provide short-term yet consistent profits on a day-to-day basis. Regarding the pricing of crypto currencies and digital tokens, the founder sees a substantial opportunity to generate ongoing profits by examining the market and making appropriate investments on both a short-term and long-term basis.

On a secondary basis, the Company will be actively engaged in the mining of digital currencies. This will consist of acquiring large inventories of computers – equipped with high-powered processing systems (CPUs and GPUs) – that will allow the business to generate income by processing transactions on block chain ledgers. Unlike the trading business, the Company will be able to generate ongoing profits by providing this service. A substantial portion of the capital sought in this business plan will be used for the acquisition of computers that can allow the business to cost-effectively engage in the mining of digital currencies.

1.2 Financing

At this time, the founder is seeking $225,00- in capital in order to commence revenue-generating operations. The terms of this investment are to be determined during negotiation. The funds will be used for the following:

Capital for treating it coin and related digital currencies

Acquisition of computer equipment for digital currency mining

General working capital

Office development

The next section of the business plan will further discuss the usage of investment funds.

1.3 The Future

As time progresses, the Company will make continued and sustained investments into the businesses operating infrastructure. Given that the business will operate within exchanges of digital currencies, there is no need to create a marketing campaign and less the business decides to accept funding from third-party investors that want to use the company for digital currency trading.

3.0 Operations

3.1 Buying and Selling of Digital Currencies

The primary focus of the Company’s operations will be on the acquisition of popular digital and cryptocurrencies that will allow the business to profit once the price of these instruments increases. The business will use both long-term and short-term strategies in order to provide daily profits, which will be smaller, as well as larger long-term gains.

Given the prevalence of digital currencies, the founder sees a substantial opportunity to invest among a number of different types of digital currency asset classes with the intent of producing capital appreciation. The business may also use options and short selling techniques to profit from declines in these currencies.

Digital currencies traded by the business will include BitCoin, LiteCoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Libra.

3.2 Digital and Cryptocurrency Mining

A strong secondary aspect of the company’s operations, as discussed in the executive summary, will come from the ongoing mining of digital currencies. This is an important revenue stream for the business given that it will provide highly predictable streams of daily income. The business will spend approximately $2.5 million (leased) on computer equipment that can process block chain ledger transactions. For providing the service, the business will receive digital currency that can then be converted into traditional US dollars. The revenues generated from this aspect of operations will generally finance the entire operation the business.

4.0 Market Analysis

4.1 Economic Analysis

Currently, the worldwide economy is going through a continued growth spurt. Although unemployment rates have declined sharply and asset prices have increased substantially – worldwide interest rates remain relatively low. It should be noted that the revenues generated by the Company will be relatively immune from negative changes in the economy. This is due to the fact that the business will be engaged in open market transactions, and as such – the business will be able to remain profitable and cash flow positive at all times.

4.2 Industry Analysis

Although this is a nascent industry, there are approximately 200,000 people and companies that are actively engaged in the trading and mining of digital currencies and cryptocurrencies. Each year, these firms generate approximately $8 billion in fees as it relates to these operations.

It should be noted that there are now a number of major investment banks that have developed trading desks as well as options exchanges specific for a number of different types of digital and cryptocurrencies. This trend is expected to continue in perpetuity as the prevalence of digital currencies as a form of payment becomes more prevalent.

4.3 Competition

Given that there are now more than 200,000 firms actively engaged in the trading and sale of crypto currencies, it is very difficult to determine the competitors that the business will face moving forward. The company will need to engage in a number of best practices in order to ensure that it remains on the forefront of technology related to digital currency trading and mining. The Company will reinvest a substantial portion of its after-tax profits in order to ensure that it’s infrastructure is state-of-the-art.

5.0 Marketing Plan

As the business will be engaged in open market transactions, the Company will not need to maintain a formal marketing plan or advertise its operations to the general public. However, as the company develops a strong track record for engaging in digital currency trading – the Founder may seek to acquire capital from third-party investors that can be managed by the company.

This would require a substantial marketing campaign that specifically targets qualified and accredited investors that are able to properly place funds with the Company for this purpose. In this event, Bitcoin Trader, Inc. will hire a qualified advertising firm as well as a law firm to properly develop advertisements that can be shown to prospective investors.
