I cover Bitcoin miners, digital asset treasuries, and crypto ETFs majorly, but I also seek alpha in tech equities, especially in emerging sectors like quantum computing and orbital intelligence. I have initiated coverage as a first analyst here on Seeking Alpha to cover names like SealSQ (LAES), Rezolve AI (RZLV), among others, with Buy ratings.
