Both times I leaned toward a cautious Hold. I initiated coverage just after the IPO at ~$83, where there was an immediate ~$75 premiumThis article was written byMandela Amoussou1.8K FollowersFollowI started out as a crypto investor a decade ago and remain deeply active in the crypto space. 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. Several of these tickers have delivered double to triple digit returns since initial coverage. I try to go beyond surface level metrics and headline numbers. I focus on fundamentals, capital allocation, momentum, market structure, and management execution. And most of all, your comments matter. Even the critical comments are very much welcome, as they improve my work and sharpens the analysis. I value thoughtful disagreements. I look forward to learning and compounding together in the market.
