ARCrypto is a private decentralized finance group teaching sophisticated capital how to borrow against crypto, tokenized equities, and stocks without forcing a sale or triggering a recognized disposal.

How can I borrow against my crypto?

On-chain lending markets and centralized providers extend USD or stablecoin loans against Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto collateral, typically at single-digit rates. ARCrypto teaches the structure, liquidation thresholds, and counsel-aware framework.

What is Buy, Borrow, Die?

Buy, Borrow, Die is a wealth-management strategy: buy long-term appreciating assets, borrow against them instead of selling, and pass them to heirs at a stepped-up basis. ARCrypto teaches the on-chain version of the same playbook.

Are these strategies tax-compliant?

ARCrypto describes mechanical features of certain on-chain operations that are not realization events under common interpretations of major-jurisdiction tax law. ARCrypto does not replace tax counsel.

Principals with existing wealth managers, entrepreneurs digitizing and tokenizing their business with AI and DeFi, and beginners ready to learn. Three tiers: Galaxy, Apex, Gravity.

Qualified Purchaser

ARCIPEDIA · FAMILY OFFICE

Plain English

Qualified purchaser is a higher SEC threshold than accredited investor. For individuals, it requires $5 million or more in investments (not net worth). For institutions, $25 million in investments. Qualifying purchaser status opens access to 3(c)(7) private funds, which can have unlimited investors versus the 100-investor cap on 3(c)(1) accredited-investor-only funds.

How it actually works

The distinction matters at the fund level. A 3(c)(7) fund (qualified-purchaser-only) can accept thousands of investors and offer institutional-grade strategies. A 3(c)(1) fund is capped at 100 and is typically smaller, more boutique. Most major hedge funds and large private-equity funds run 3(c)(7) structures for this reason.

What it means for you

For UHNW members and family offices, qualified-purchaser status is the structural unlock for the largest institutional-grade investment products. It also matters for certain DeFi structures — the institutional crypto funds run as 3(c)(7)s require qualified-purchaser status.

How ARCrypto teaches this

We cover qualified-purchaser status as part of family-office investment architecture. The structural lesson: above certain wealth thresholds, your access expands — and so do the products that demand professional-grade due diligence.
