Primo Rico buys R$ 1 million in Bitcoin and warns: "Crisis coming"
Source: PortaldoBitcoin Original Title: Primo Rico buys R$ 1 million in Bitcoin and warns: “Crisis coming” Original Link: https://portaldobitcoin.uol.com.br/primo-rico-compra-r-1-milhao-em-bitcoin-e-avisa-crise-vindo-ai/ Entrepreneur and investor Thiago Nigro, known as Primo Rico, closed 2025 with an investment of nearly R$ 1 million in Bitcoin. The influencer shared the step-by-step of his allocation decision in a video posted on his YouTube channel.
Nigro bought R$ 980,450 worth of BTC last week of the year, when the asset was trading around R$ 500,000. Thus, the investor now holds almost two whole coins. The purchase was made indirectly through the Brazilian ETF HODL11, a product of an investment platform.
In explaining his investment decision, “Primo Rico” said he felt the need to have a more diversified portfolio with dollarized assets and also emphasized that cryptocurrency serves as a safe haven: “Money is being printed all the time, a crisis is coming, madness is coming. I’ll buy some ‘bitcoins’, no problem.”
Return to Bitcoin
Thiago Nigro resumed investing in Bitcoin in 2025. In January of last year, the influencer bought more than R$ 1 million in Bitcoin, reaffirming his position as a “wholecoiner.” The term, which translates to “full coin” in Portuguese, is used for those who own at least one full BTC.
Nigro’s position in Bitcoin marked his return to the main asset in the crypto market after selling all his holdings in November of the previous year, 2024.
At that time, Nigro stated that the sale was a “great deal” and that he was satisfied with the profits made. However, in his most recent video, he revealed that this decision had a significant opportunity cost, as he later missed out on BTC’s rally.
“I was going to put 20 million reais into Bitcoin, and that would turn into 40 million in, I don’t know, 3 or 4 months. It’s the money of a lifetime,” said Primo Rico in the video.
He explained that, at the time, he used the funds to invest in other projects and buy a house, which left him without liquidity to take advantage of Bitcoin’s strong rise in the following months. Now, with the recent drop in the cryptocurrency’s price, he has decided to resume buying.
