Welcome to the Portfolio update of June 2025. I’m going back to the Web3 world… read more to learn more…
Personal update
Took me roughly a month to find and sign a new job (at the place last time mentioned). The details are juicy (230k CHF base, plus up to 150% bonus of that salary plus equity), I’ll start in September, I’m very pumped about the opportunity as the people there seem very smart with a very deep Knowledge in Finance.
At the end of May we also used the long weekend to go to Zermatt and Leukerbad in Wallis, very nice area. It was astonishingly warm (Google Weather claimed 5C but it actually was 25C, wtf Google!) and since it was between winter and summer season so half of the restaurants and hotels were still closed. It was also right around the day where that mountain village was covered by the landslide and our route was about 5km away from the slide. Pretty crazy stuff.
Not much else to say, the current company hired 3 people to replace me, 2 of which already started. I’m generally a bit salty now that it became clear that the lack of resources was seemingly some bullshit excuse and also them giving plenty of stock to the CTO while telling me that their hands are tied regarding my stock expectations. But still sure it was time to move on.
Savings Rate: May 2025
Cash flow: May 2025
Total Income: 17’928 CHF – Regular income plus some sold crypto coins which I miss-accounted as income, plus I sold my Asus Rog Ally X because I’ve ordered a Nintendo Switch 2.
Total Expenses: 8’657 CHF – We’ve been to Zermatt and Leukerbad at the end of the month, 4 nights for like 1500 CHF for the three of us (660 CHF of that will be accounted for in June). Plus food, etc. and then the Nintendo Switch 2 (incl. Mariokart and Joycons) for 579 CHF.
Savings Rate: 51.7% – Not the most frugal month but given the gains in crypto etc. we splurged a bit.
Net Worth: 2.19M CHF (+100k CHF vs. last month) – most gains due to crypto/stocks going up.

Tesla calls worked out pretty nicely I was up 30k USD on some days when I sold half of them to recover my principal (25k USD), I now still have 13.5k USD running in a free bag.
Equity Portfolio
Equity Portfolio value: 93’570 CHF (+0 CHF vs. last month)
General assembly didn’t amaze me regarding the revenue numbers which was also a driver to jump ship.
Crypto HODL Portfolio
Current HODL portfolio value: 697’850 CHF (~8.95 BTC) (+64k CHF vs. last month)
No new BTC purchases, however I’ve remodelled my Crypto Wallet setup to justify the amounts (Multi-Sig with 3+ hardware wallets from different vendors, all distributed across different locations). I might write more about it some day as I did like the experience of setting up the multi-sig with some more vendors and some vendors less.
