After giving it a lot of thought, I decided to sell 60% of my BTC.

$IBIT

20% will go into 
$VOO
.

20% will go into 
$SGOV
 to cover next year's tax bill.

Of the remaining 40%,

20% will be transferred to Bitkey"

Other than properly handling storage of your backup and hardware (if applicable).

Obviously aside from using IBIT and custodians. Trying to see what the crackhead hodlers advise."

This directly visualizes Valerie's Bitcoin accumulation progress, displaying the exact quantity (0.06304367 BTC) and total value referenced in her post about the strategic reserves challenge.

$BTC
Total Bitcoin Accumulated: 0.06304367

This was a rough week for Bitcoin, but  I still managed to accumulate some. I am strongly considering moving to 
$IBIT
 going forward and just keep including it in this challenge. The coldcard attack"

$IBIT
 was the safer bet all along.
First move I made was locking down my
