Tax treatment

Remaining % (not tax-deferred or taxable) is treated as tax-free, e.g. Roth. Tax-deferred withdrawals taken before age 59½ carry a 10% early-withdrawal penalty on top of ordinary income tax, applied as a flat addition to the blended rate for those years only.

Asset return assumptions — drives the glide path below

Bear / Base / Bull set these six expected annual returns at once. Volatility per asset class is fixed (shown alongside) and used for the shock and Monte Carlo math. Edit any slider to switch to Custom.

Bitcoin Power Law model — overrides BTC & MSTR returns per phase
1.5x

Power law: Price = 1.0117×10⁻¹⁷ × (days since Jan 3, 2009)^5.82 (Santostasi/Burger fit, R²≈0.956). MSTR price modeled as BTC-per-share × power-law BTC price × mNAV premium; BTC-per-share compounds annually at the yield above (linearly interpolated 2026→2030, flat after). Both ends of every phase use the model's own price, so this doesn't need today's actual spot price — only the calendar dates.

Power law override is off — BTC and MSTR use the flat sliders above for every phase.
Portfolio mix & return glide path — de-risking by phase

Set the asset mix for each phase. Blended return, volatility, and BTC+MSTR concentration are computed live from the weights and the return assumptions above.

GG / SG / NG checkboxes control whether each expense applies during Go-Go, Slow-Go, or No-Go. Uncheck a box to drop that expense out of that phase entirely — e.g. travel is unchecked for No-Go by default.

Simplified planning model. Nominal returns, straight-line inflation. Blended returns and volatility come from the asset weights you set combined with fixed per-asset volatility assumptions and a fixed correlation matrix — real correlations shift in crises (usually toward 1.0, which understates joint drawdowns here). The Monte Carlo band uses a normal distribution per year, which understates the fat tails and multi-year momentum real BTC/MSTR/equity markets show. The dual-account tax model is a flat-rate approximation of ordinary income and LTCG/NIIT treatment — it does not model bracket-filling, state tax, or SEPP/72(t) elections. Ignores Social Security. Every scenario here is illustrative, not predictive — take these numbers to your CPA and advisor before acting on them.
