These companies are building infrastructure, an ecosystem in addition to owning digital assets. This is presented as an opportunity to participate in entire global financial system becoming tokenization and digital.
Neptune Digital Assets Corp. (NPPTF) has a market capitalization of approximately $46.4 million USD, which compares to total reported assets of $68.4 million USD and an estimated net asset value (total assets minus liabilities) of roughly $58.7 million USD. Continue reading →
In 2015 gold and silver miners traded at a historic discount to their physical metals. Today, strong and healthy Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) trade at a large discount to the digital assets treasuries they own.
We asked ChatGPT for its analysis and opinion in comparing the two situations. We share this conversation to encourage you to research using AI in a conversational way. In a dialog with an AI platform, you can converse, question and challenge for better results. LOTM has been working for several months to build a screening system (CIF) based on 50-years of experience in the stock market. My experience combined with Chat’s access to enormous databases and organizational skills has created a screening process beyond anything I could have imagined. Below is an excerpt of “a conversation with Chat.”
Hi Chat – I want to ask a question before we return to the writing of our LOTM/CIF operational manual. I did a quick analysis of DAT companies who are debt free and building on the ecosystem of their respective altcoins. Many are trading at large discounts to their mNAV. Companies like SBET, XTAIF, FWDI. This reminded me of the 2015 situation with gold and silver miners trading at a historically steep discount to their physical metal prices. This was followed by a 3X to 5X upward movement in the metal miners’ prices between December 2015 and June 2016. Is this a fair comparison of where we are with some healthier DATs? Continue reading →
Investing in the Physical Bottlenecks of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Prepared July 23, 2-026 by LOTM/Tom Linzmeier
CIF System – Executive Summary
Artificial Intelligence is creating a once-in-a-generation infrastructure build-out. While most investors focus on semiconductor manufacturers and software companies, we believe the more durable opportunity lies in owning the physical assets that AI cannot operate without.
Every hyperscale data center requires: • Reliable electricity
• High-voltage transmission
• Land suitable for development
• Cooling infrastructure
• Fiber connectivity
• Electrical equipment
• Engineering and construction expertise
These are not optional inputs. They are the bottlenecks that determine how quickly AI capacity can expand.

RE: xTAO Inc (XTAIF*) $0.45
Note: XTAIF* & TAO* are LOTM related portfolio positions
XTAIF is the top-rated company in our CIF/DIIF Group 3 – Individual AI/Crypto/Blockchain Companies, for Largest Asymmetrical Price Potential to 2030. Potential upside for this decentralized AI/crypto altcoin is placed between 5X to 20X-plus. Currently, XTAIF is the largest public company Continue reading →
Personally, I am focused on building my net worth, period.
As such, my goal is not on “ number go up” or “percentage annual returns” but on companies that have potential to increase in value 5X to 20X in the next three to seven years.
At the same time, I want companies with survivability and probability on their side & therefore, my side.
This is not a suitable program for 98% of the public. Volatility does not bother me but rather I welcome it. My goal is in building “position size” for the future and not near-term performance. In my humble opinion, 98% of the population cannot or will not tolerate this goal from an emotional or financial perspective. Most western cultural perspective is linear but with emotion. I am more non-linear – delayed gratification isn’t an issue – as long as I believe I am on track with my goals.
It is in this perspective that I am sharing a July 16 conversation with ChatGPT (below). Two reasons 1) AI is the most useful to those who have the most knowledge about the subject matter in question and 2) AI is wonderful at organizing and a data rich resource. You might find the converstaion rewarding and of interest in working with AI. I hope so otherwise I would not be sharing it. Continue reading →
A critical enabling technology for AI, Crypto & Blockchain to the internet & the real world data
Chainlink (altcoin chart $LINKUSD at stockcharts.com) is a boring yet vital blockchain in the “Tokeninzation of Everything.” – See precious LOTM blog posts on the massive move to Tokenization of Everything. movement.
Chainlink holds approximately 70% of the market share by Total Value Secured (TVS) in the blockchain oracle sector. It acts as the foundational infrastructure connecting blockchains and altcoins to real-world data, traditional finance, and the internet.
Chainlink’s dominance and ecosystem reach are highlighted by several key metrics:
Value Secured: Chainlink secures over $100 billion across the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
Market Position: In specific ecosystems like Ethereum, it secures over 80% of all oracle-supported value.
Cross-Chain Activity: Its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) dominates cross-chain messaging and token transfers, processing large-scale asset migrations for institutional and DeFi partners.
Enterprise Use: Chainlink is the standard for bringing traditional finance onchain, with integrations spanning major institutions like SWIFT, Euroclear, and Mastercard.
Cumulative Volume: The network has enabled over $30 trillion in cumulative transaction value across public and private blockchains.
TKNQ is the ETF most directly aligned with the long-term ‘Tokenization of Everything’ investment thesis. Unlike traditional blockchain ETFs, it emphasizes tokenization infrastructure, exchanges, custody, settlement, financial technology, and selected digital asset exposure.
NODE focuses on AI + blockchain infrastructure,
BLOK is an actively managed blockchain innovation fund.
DAPP remains more concentrated on the traditional crypto ecosystem.
