Canmore · Canadian balance sheets

Your RRSP is at a bank. It is underperforming. And there is no Bitcoin in it.

I am Gilles Wayne. I moved a corporate treasury into Bitcoin in 2020 and built the rest of the sheet around it. TFSA, RRSP, credit, spot, margin. This is the playbook I used.

7+ years building Canadian e-commerce businesses. Corporate treasury converted to Bitcoin in 2020. Full 5-layer sheet. This site exists because the advisory layer in Canada is still empty.

Why Bitcoin: the Canadian thesis

First principles. Ten chapters. Tax wrappers that actually exist here: TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, professional corporation, condo reserve.

Who we serve

Every Canadian balance sheet deserves a Bitcoin strategy.

Individuals and families

TFSA at the bank, paying a MER, holding zero Bitcoin. Move the account. Allocate 1-5% to a Canadian Bitcoin ETF inside the TFSA.

Professional corporations

Doctors, dentists, lawyers, accountants. Retained earnings in low-yield paper. Structure first. Then allocate.

Condo and strata reserves

GICs losing purchasing power. A board-approved 1-3% framework. Documented. Defensible. No heroics.

ETF vs buying Bitcoin directly

Canada approved Bitcoin ETFs first. That does not make them right for every TFSA, RRSP, or taxable account. Honest MER and custody comparison.

How it works

Three steps. No sales call required.

  1. 01

    Read the Playbook

    Free. The 5-layer strategy used on a real Canadian sheet: corporate treasury, TFSA, RRSP, credit, self-custody.

  2. 02

    Open the accounts you already need

    WealthSimple is the current default because TFSA, RRSP, Cash, Crypto, and Margin sit under one login, with spot Bitcoin ETFs that fit the tax wrappers.

  3. 03

    Allocate on a schedule

    Size by entity and account type. Most readers use a 12-week DCA window. Most do this without a call.

From this week

Worth repeating

See the year-by-year path before you size the sheet.

Past returns are a map of weather, not a forecast.

The down years are part of the path. Read 2014, 2018, and 2022 before you size.

A large past window is not a reason to buy. Size with allocation. Place with the wrappers that fit.

Tools
