Tracking Defensive Gold and Treasury Reserves Alongside Core Holdings

Track gold reserves (PAXG), Treasury holdings (ONDO), and core spot lots in separate Portfolio Books while reading combined USD allocation and cost basis.

Why defensive reserve assets change portfolio accounting

Multi-asset portfolios frequently combine volatile market exposure with defensive reserves such as gold-backed holdings (PAXG) or Treasury-backed instruments (ONDO).

Treating defensive reserve lots identically to directional swing positions hides true risk concentration when market volatility spikes.

Structuring core vs. defensive books inside Striv

  • Tag defensive reserve allocations explicitly inside Asset Holdings to distinguish commodity or Treasury instruments from higher-beta spot holdings.
  • Maintain lot-by-lot accumulation cost basis per asset so partial trims or rebalances reflect accurate blended entry prices.
  • Use Risk & Expectancy Auditor prompts to check upcoming supply unlock schedules while verifying defensive reserve buffer percentages.
