In an exclusive interview with Coindoo, Leverton explained how ReserveOne plans to combine allocation, activation, and access into a single portfolio strategy.
At launch, the treasury will include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and XRP. Unlike single-asset treasuries, ReserveOne’s approach is designed to balance risk through diversification while also pursuing yield through staking, lending, and institutional-grade DeFi strategies. A portion of the portfolio will also be allocated toward venture-stage tokens and projects in the private market, giving investors exposure to emerging opportunities.
Institutional Weighting and Risk Management
The portfolio weighting will be modeled on free-float market capitalization with an additional tilt toward yield opportunities. Leverton emphasized that this institutional framework draws on the team’s experience at firms such as BlackRock and Coinbase, ensuring the fund reflects liquid return opportunities while also factoring in staking and lending returns where available.
Risk management, she noted, is central to ReserveOne’s model. The firm plans to remain long-biased to capture digital assets’ long-term growth potential but will retain the option to hedge selectively. Liquidity will also be closely monitored, both in anticipation of ReserveOne’s planned Nasdaq listing under the ticker “RONE” in Q4 2025, and within its underlying deployments. The team’s experience operating under SEC and CFTC oversight, coupled with active engagement in Washington, provides what Leverton described as a regulatory advantage over other digital asset treasury firms.
Beyond Price Appreciation
ReserveOne’s strategy relies on three components – allocation, activation, and access – to deliver returns beyond simple asset appreciation. Diversification across multiple tokens, yield-generating deployments, and early-stage investments together are expected to produce a smoother risk-adjusted return profile than single-token treasuries.
Listing as a U.S. public company, rather than an ETF, is intended to provide greater flexibility. ETFs must maintain daily liquidity, which can limit yield-generating opportunities. ReserveOne believes its structure allows more freedom to deploy assets into staking, lending, and other yield-enhancing strategies.
A High-Profile Team
ReserveOne has assembled an unusually prominent leadership group, blending crypto-native expertise with traditional finance and government experience. Among them is former U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who will serve as Vice Chair in a strategic capacity, advising on macroeconomic and geopolitical considerations. Leverton said Ross’s involvement is expected to strengthen ReserveOne’s access to regulators, policymakers, and institutional investors worldwide.
Stablecoins and Onchain Finance
Looking beyond its launch, Leverton argued that the GENIUS Act of 2025, which recognized stablecoins as legal programmable money, is a historic milestone akin to the Telecommunications Act of 1996 for the internet. She believes stablecoins will accelerate money velocity, reshape banking infrastructure, and open the door to fully onchain credit systems.
Rather than diminishing the importance of crypto-native assets, she suggested that tokenization of real-world assets will highlight the role of blockchains such as Ethereum and Solana, which serve as the backbone for onchain finance. Stablecoins and tokenized assets, she predicted, will eventually become so embedded in daily financial activity that their use will be as unremarkable as using the internet today.
Institutional Adoption Still Developing
Despite the momentum of ETFs, most pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds have only made small allocations to crypto. Leverton identified structural hurdles – such as investment policy statements and yield requirements – that have slowed adoption. However, she expects allocation trends to accelerate through 2026, supported by the GENIUS Act and the forthcoming CLARITY Act.
Large institutions, she argued, are increasingly wary of the risks posed by unsustainable debt levels in G7 economies. This may push them toward assets like Bitcoin as a hedge. In her view, corporate adoption – more companies placing crypto treasuries on their balance sheets – will be the next major catalyst after ETFs.
Looking Ahead
ReserveOne is bullish on the current cycle. Leverton believes Bitcoin could double to $250,000, supported by a global rate-cutting environment, while Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano could see 3–5x gains. She expects short-term sideways consolidation for Bitcoin but emphasized its role as a “safety valve” in a world of rising debt and depreciating fiat currencies.
Longer term, she predicted that digital asset treasuries will become a standard feature of corporate balance sheets, much like gold or foreign currency holdings. Central banks, she noted, may already be diversifying into crypto on a large scale, viewing it as a reserve asset rather than a speculative bet.
Leverton also pointed to decentralized AI as a sector with immense potential, arguing that artificial intelligence, like money, should remain independent of government control. “AI needs crypto,” she said, framing it as the next frontier for blockchain adoption.
With its planned Nasdaq listing, ReserveOne aims to position itself at the forefront of this transition, providing investors a structured way to access digital assets, yield strategies, and early-stage innovation under one roof.
