How Platinum Uses the SHIFT Method
Your client success manager turns the SHIFT Method into a personal action plan, and your analyst sessions are where you test each step against your own portfolio.
S
Set Your Plan in Writing
Write down your goals, position sizes and exit rules on your Strategy Sheet before any money moves.
H
Hold Bitcoin as Your Core
Bitcoin sits at the center of the portfolio, held in your own self-custody.
I
Invest in On-Chain Businesses
Look for on-chain businesses with real revenue and real users.
F
Filter Every Coin Before You Buy
Check token unlocks, dilution and liquidity, so a good story is never the only reason for a position.
T
Take Profits on the Way Up
Your Profit Ladder sets out in advance when you take partial profits as prices rise.

What a Platinum Workshop Looks Like
Platinum members join weekly workshops with our analysts on portfolio structure. In a recent session, one analyst explained his own approach: a small basket of positions he understands well, with very small amounts in anything speculative. The point was not to copy him, it was to show how a disciplined person builds conviction and sizes positions, so members can do the same in their own plan.
How Our Team Takes Profits
In the Academy module on goal setting and profit taking, the team starts with a question: what does success look like for you? Growing wealth, beating inflation and paying off a mortgage each lead to a different sell plan. The module also covers stablecoins, which are tokens designed to track the US dollar, as a way to lock in gains without leaving crypto entirely.
In our live cohort on building a sell plan, one example the team shares is taking a third of a position off each time it doubles. The analyst who used it was clear that it is not a crystal ball and not better or worse than a quarter or a half; it is a personal choice. What matters is that the rule is written down before prices move.
