This model turns routine pharmacy transactions into a strategic corporate asset, blending immediate savings with future financial resilience.

The NiHowdy Model: Savings Meets Strategic Growth

Employee Benefits

How the Revenue Share Builds Your Treasury

Example Transaction

1. Employee purchase: $25 prescription
2. Employee rebate: 5% of $25 = $1.25 in Bitcoin (0.0000139 BTC at $90,000/BTC)
3. Corporate share: 20% of the $1.25 rebate = $0.25 in Bitcoin (0.0000028 BTC)

Scaled Impact Over 3 Years

For a 500-employee company averaging 12 prescriptions/employee annually:

*Assumes consistent usage and compounding appreciation

Building a Bitcoin Treasury: Long-Term Value

Why Accumulate Bitcoin?

• Inflation hedge: Outpaces healthcare’s 6.4% annual cost growth
• Diversification: Low correlation to traditional assets (-0.32 vs. S&P 500)
• Tax efficiency: Long-term capital gains (15-20%) vs. ordinary income tax on cash

Strategic Utilization Example: Funding Healthcare Costs

A mid-sized tech company with 1,000 employees accumulated 0.27 BTC ($24,300) over three years (50% annual appreciation). During a year of 8% premium hikes, they liquidated 30% of their treasury:

• BTC sold: 0.081 BTC → $7,290 (at $90,000/BTC)
• Use of funds: Covered 15% of annual deductible increases
• Impact: Reduced employee premium contributions by 3%, boosting retention

Strategic Reserve Management

Focus on Accumulation, Not Short-Term Gains

• Reinvestment: Let reserves compound during market growth
• Dollar-cost averaging: Mitigate volatility through regular small purchases
• Transparency: Publish treasury metrics in annual benefits reports

When to Consider Liquidation

• Funding critical initiatives: Offset deductible hikes, seed HSAs, or expand mental health benefits
• Market extremes: Sell a fraction at all-time highs to lock in gains
• Regulatory shifts: Adapt to tax/accounting rule changes

Real-World Impact: From Prescriptions to Financial Resilience

A manufacturing firm with 800 employees used their NiHowdy treasury to:

• Year 1–3: Accumulate 0.044 BTC ($3,960)
• Year 4: Appreciated to 0.088 BTC ($7,920 at 50% growth)
• Strategic use: Liquidated 0.044 BTC ($3,960) to fund 20% of their self-insured plan’s emergency fund, reducing stop-loss insurance premiums by 12%.

“Our Bitcoin reserve became a safety net,” noted their HR Director. “It turned prescription savings into a tool for budget stability.”
