How I’m Building a One Stock Portfolio Without Putting My Family at Risk

Most people hear “one stock portfolio” and assume you’re reckless, desperate, or trying to get lucky.
And I get it.
It sounds risky. And if you do it blindly, it absolutely is.
But when I say I’m investing $50 a day into one company, I’m not gambling. I’m not guessing. I’m not putting my family in danger.
I’m building a long term portfolio with conviction, structure, and clarity.
A twenty year plan that’s public but still protected.
Because I believe in going big without going blind.
This is exactly how I’m doing it.
Why I Chose a One Stock Portfolio
I didn’t pick Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) at random.
This isn’t a meme stock. It’s not hype from Reddit. It’s not an emotional swing.
It’s a company that:
Holds more than half a million Bitcoin on its balance sheet
Is led by one of the most convicted founders alive
Gives me exposure to Bitcoin with corporate leverage
For me, Strategy is not just a stock. It is my primary tool for building wealth and discipline over decades.
What About the Risk
Let’s not sugarcoat it.
A one stock portfolio brings real risk. I break it down into three types.
Volatility
Strategy moves fast. One day I’m up $300. The next I’m down $500.
But volatility only matters if you plan to sell.
I don’t.
I buy every single market day. Whether it’s red or green, I show up. Because I’m not here for small wins. I’m here for exponential compounding.
Company Specific Risk
If leadership changes or the Bitcoin thesis breaks, I reevaluate.
I’m not married to a ticker. I’m married to the plan.
Until the foundation cracks, I stay focused and consistent.
Life Happens
This is the biggest risk most people overlook.
Losing a job. Unexpected bills. Burnout.
That’s why this isn’t a YOLO gamble. It’s a system I built for real life.
How I’m Protecting My Family While Going All In
This plan is public. But it’s not reckless.
I designed it to protect my family no matter what happens in the market.
I have a private portfolio no one sees
Publicly, I’m investing in Strategy.
Privately, I own:
ETFs
Dividend stocks
Bitcoin and Ethereum
A few small cap stocks
Emergency savings
So if Strategy (MSTR) fails, my family still stands.
I’m investing in Strategy publicly to challenge the lie that you need 20 stocks and a finance degree to win.
You don’t.
All you need is a phone, internet, a brokerage account, and a conviction that can survive for 20 years.
This system runs with or without me. That’s the point.
Ownership doesn’t require a Wall Street permission slip. It requires behavior.
I only invest from surplus
That $50 a day does not come from bills or groceries.
I work full-time. I budget. I pay rent early.
I invest what’s left over, not what I depend on.
I track everything like a business
BakoInvest is my proof. This is not a hobby.
I document:
Every daily buy
Weekly share count
Portfolio value
Key milestones and market lessons
My investing behavior is fully transparent and tracked.
How My 365 Day Strategy Works
Most people dollar cost average only when the market is open.
That’s 252 days per year.
But Bitcoin trades every day. So does my discipline.
Here’s how I close the gap.
I invest $50 automatically on all 252 market days
I invest $100 manually every Monday to cover the weekend
I invest manually on holidays and market closures
That adds up to a full 365 day investing schedule. No skipped days. No missed behavior.
Total annual investment: $18,250
Want to Build Your Own Investing Streak
Whether you’re starting with$1, $5 or $50, these tools can help you build your first streak.
Robinhood
Perfect if you want to automate daily investing into individual stocks like Strategy
Acorns
Great if you’re starting small and want your spare change to grow quietly in the background
Webull
Solid choice if you want more charts and technical features as you learn
These are the tools I use. Pick one and take action. The best brokerage is the one you actually use.
What If I’m Wrong About Strategy
If Bitcoin fails. If Strategy underperforms. If the plan stalls.
I still win.
Because I built:
A lifetime savings habit
A public discipline log
A personal finance brand
A legacy framework for my kids
Assets may change. But behavior compounds forever.
Why This Isn’t Reckless
Most people diversify because they are scared. I concentrate because I am clear.
They chase thirty different stocks and hope one works. I study one company every day and master it.
They wait for the market to validate them. I validate myself through discipline.
Who This Strategy Is Not For
This plan is not for everyone.
If you:
Panic when your portfolio dips
Have no emergency savings
Need instant profits to pay your bills
Then focus on structure first. Build the habits. Build the foundation.
Then earn the right to go all in with conviction.
What My Family Knows
This plan is not a secret.
My family understands it. My kids will grow up living it.
They will learn:
How money grows through consistency
Why $50 a day can become millions
Why ownership beats entertainment
How thinking in decades changes your future
They are growing up with a blueprint I never had.
Want to Follow the Journey
This is not theory.
I am building a real portfolio in public for twenty years. Every dollar is tracked. Every share is proof.
You can copy the strategy. You cannot fake the streak.
Start here:

I am 13 shares in. 987 to go.
But I am already ahead.
Because I started.
