'Bitcoin may dive to 15000 dollars in the next year. That would see Arb at a max of 25p and possibly lower.'
BP this is a very common misapprehension. As a thought experiment let's go through why.
Well let's say it fell to $15k by the start of 2022... Arb's HODL would be about 2500 at that point. Now many miners would have become unprofitable so global hash rate will have fallen substantially... let's say it's 40% of what it is now (at such a low I assume it would be even less). With this adjustment and Texas expansion full steam ahead we would soon be looking at mining something like 950 coins a month or a run rate of 11500 coins a year!
So HODL 2500 x $15k = $37.5m to start with, plus we would still have substantial cash on hand from the IPO, call that total ~$70m/£50m.
Mining 950 a month the risk/reward potential would keep Argo, at least for some time, at more than 25p/£116m mcap. After all, if BTC were to recover just a few months later they'd be sitting on 5500 BTC just to begin with, if it were to go on a run 7 months later you might be looking at a HODL of close to 9000 BTC.
If this were to happen it sure would get interesting though.
