Portfolio configuration
Novogratz was also asked about his views on how investors should use cryptocurrencies to diversify their portfolios, and what he believes is enough cryptocurrency.

According to the report, the company lost $101.4 million in the sale of cryptocurrency products at a loss, and another $75.5 million invested in cryptocurrency products that generated a negative return on investment.
However, the price increase of Bitcoin throughout the year of 2019 is a profitable venture for him. The fund reported a net income of $13 million in the first quarter of 2019. After bitcoin rose above $10,000, it is likely that another successful earnings report will be seen in the second quarter.
