Crypto Transactions — large private buyers, tranche by tranche

Magister Operis works with large private crypto buyers, not institutions with standing mandates. They move when the discount is healthy and their own read says the market is right, and they buy in tranches so a large purchase does not move the market against them. Some weeks they are active and some weeks they are not, so an offer has to be discounted and the seller patient enough for the right window.

The requirement

• Product — coins held by the seller under direct control, in a quantity that can move in tranches.
• Price — a healthy discount to spot that reflects the size of the purchase.
• Procedures — face to face, at the seller’s location or as agreed. Purchases build in tranches: a modest first transaction, then larger ones as confidence is established. Coins move wallet to wallet or, where the case calls for it, to a hardware wallet (Ledger or Trezor) held by an escrow attorney, at added cost. Payment by SWIFT MT103, domestic wire, ledger to ledger, or against an acceptable bank instrument.
• Personalities — the buyer deals with the owner of the coins, or a mandate who can demonstrate direct wallet control. The seller proves ownership and control before anything is asked of the buyer. The buyer shares proof of funds with an escrow attorney or bank for verification. Settlement cannot wait days or end in litigation, so direct control is not negotiable. A party that asks for the buyer’s proof of funds before establishing its own ownership is almost always a reseller or broker, not the owner.

Optional: a Word seller offer template for setting out an offer in writing.
