Founder
Eric Runge
Family Office Bitcoin was founded because the Bitcoin conversation most investors were having was not the one they needed to have. What passed for institutional analysis was either advocacy or avoidance. Neither served a principal trying to make a rigorous allocation decision. The work is serious because the capital is serious.

Book One
Bitcoin and the Family Office
This book is a framework for family offices working through a first Bitcoin allocation or refining an existing position. It covers the monetary history that makes Bitcoin relevant to multigenerational wealth, the portfolio architecture questions a family office needs to answer before establishing a position, and the governance considerations that determine whether an allocation is sustainable across a generation change.
It is written for principals and investment officers who need analytical rigor, not advocacy.
Published 2026. Foreword by Richard Wilson, founder of the Family Office Club.
Book Two
The Cost of Consensus
The most dangerous words in a family office are "everyone is doing it this way." Consensus feels like prudence. It photographs well in a board meeting. And it is quietly one of the most expensive habits a family can inherit, because the crowd is always most certain right before the ground moves beneath it.
The Cost of Consensus is a book about the families who chose to think for themselves, and the price paid by those who waited for permission. It is about capital that outlives the people who built it, the discipline required to hold a position your peers do not yet understand, and why the questions that preserve wealth across generations are almost never the comfortable ones.
If you are responsible for capital meant to outlast you, this book was written for the decision you already sense is coming.
Book Three
No Position Is a Position
The financial adviser's guide to Bitcoin allocation. Choosing not to hold Bitcoin is itself an allocation decision, and it deserves the same analysis as any other position in the portfolio. This book works through how advisers can evaluate, size, and defend that decision either way.
