Bryan Perry of Eagle Financial Publications is selling Hi-Tech Trader's The Next Crypto Titans pitch. We identify the three picks and test its biggest crypto claims.
One promotion, several names — all of them point to the same pitch, and the same stock.
“How to Profit from the Crypto Wipeout” is the headline Bryan Perry is using to sell Eagle Financial Publications' Hi-Tech Trader. The offer, also framed as The Next Crypto Titans: 3 Ways to Build a Million Dollar Portfolio, presents a crypto reset as a chance to find the next $1 trillion coin.
The pitch promises three picks, including a headline cryptocurrency, a payments token and a company building an Ethereum treasury. We identify the set below with 92/100 confidence in the headline asset, though some of the supporting claims take a scenic route away from the facts.
The biggest giveaway is the Ethereum story: the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, Vitalik Buterin's early vision of blockchain applications beyond Bitcoin, and a claim that the technology could support the next trillion-dollar crypto. A second cluster points to XRP through its 100 billion maximum supply, roughly 60 billion circulating tokens and three-to-five-second settlement claims.
The corporate clue is even sharper: BitMine's Ethereum-treasury strategy, its $250 million financing and its later claim of holding roughly 5.77 million ETH. The same pitch is also branded as “The Next Crypto Titans”; those names refer to the same promotion, not separate discoveries.
The three picks are Ethereum (ETH), XRP Ledger's XRP (XRP), and BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR). Ethereum is the headline pick, with 92/100 confidence. BitMine follows at 88/100, while XRP is a much less certain match at 35/100.
Ethereum fits the central story directly. CoinMarketCap ranks it second by cryptocurrency market capitalization, and the Buterin clues point to Ethereum's origin story. BitMine is tied to the same thesis through a June 2025 Form 8-K describing roughly $250 million in securities sales to acquire ETH for its treasury. Later SEC-filed disclosures reporting approximately 5.77 million ETH make BMNR hard to miss.
XRP matches several supply and settlement details, but the pitch's flashiest technology clues don't land there. The XRP Ledger cites about 1,500 transactions per second, while Visa's materials associate the more-than-65,000 transaction-message figure with Solana. Visa's announcements also describe USDC settlement on Solana, not XRP. That mismatch is why XRP belongs in the set with a lower confidence score rather than beside Ethereum as an equally clean identification.
The two bonus microchip names are less secure. The promotion references STMicroelectronics and Qualcomm as prior winners, but the available page doesn't confirm either as one of the six current picks. STM and QCOM remain low-confidence guesses, not identified facts.
The offer bundles 2 bonus reports that tease their own stocks. These get a sentence or two of copy each, so the evidence is much thinner than for the main pick and what follows is our best reading rather than a confident answer.
| Bonus report | Our best guess | Confidence |
|---|---|---|
| The Next 6 Tech Blockbusters | STM — STMicroelectronics N.V. | 12/100 — best guess |
| The Next 6 Tech Blockbusters | QCOM — QUALCOMM Incorporated | 12/100 — best guess |
The claim-by-claim check separates solid historical details from predictions, inflated wording and clues attached to the wrong project. It also distinguishes a company's actual revenue from annualized staking figures, cash balances or projected rewards.
The sources are checkable: CoinMarketCap, CoinDesk, Wired, the Ethereum Foundation, the XRP Ledger's own documentation, Visa's announcements and BitMine's SEC filings. That trail is useful here because the promotion's story is strongest when it sticks to documents and weakest when several different projects get poured into one bucket.
| The promotion claims | Verdict | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum has already become the world's #2 cryptocurrency by market cap | Checks out | CoinMarketCap ranks Ethereum second by cryptocurrency market capitalization. |
| Peter Thiel quietly backed a 20-year-old developer's radical crypto vision in 2014 | Overstated | CoinDesk reported Peter Thiel's $100,000 Thiel Fellowship for Vitalik Buterin in June 2014, and the Ethereum Foundation later described it as support for his Ethereum work; it was a fellowship, not a direct investment in Ethereum. |
| The promotion claims | Verdict | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| One crypto project can handle 65,000 transactions per second | Overstated | The XRPL's own overview lists about 1,500 transactions per second, while Visa's Solana materials cite more than 65,000 transaction-message capacity for Visa and describe Solana separately. |
| That crypto project will soon handle more than 10 times 65,000 transactions per second | Overstated | No XRPL or Visa source supports XRP reaching more than 650,000 transactions per second; the 65,000-TPS comparison is associated with Solana promotional material, not . |
| The promotion claims | Verdict | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| BitMine's stock surged by more than 690% in a single trading day | Checks out | Trefis reported that NYSE American-listed BitMine surged more than 690% on June 30, 2025, after announcing its Ethereum-treasury financing. |
| BitMine shares collapsed 88% from $3.74 to $0.45 during the 2022 inflation shock | Overstated | Trefis places the $3.74 reference on March 22, 2022, but places the $0.45 reference on May 10, 2023; the collapse is directionally real, but the promotion assigns the low to the wrong year. |
| The promotion claims | Verdict | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| The bonus report includes two microchip stocks the author prefers to Nvidia | Checks out | Bryan Perry's bonus page says the report contains two microchip stocks he likes more than Nvidia. |
| STMicroelectronics is one of the six stocks in the bonus report | Can't verify | Bryan Perry's page cites STMicroelectronics as a prior 112%-in-a-month winner, but it does not identify STM as one of the six current bonus picks. |

This is the third Bryan Perry promotion we've identified. The earlier pitches were “Safe 14.1% Income Fund,” which pointed to the NEOS Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF and is down 0.74% since we revealed it, and “Get Paid to Own Gold,” which pointed to the NEOS Gold High Income ETF and is down 1.41% since we revealed it.
That's a small ledger, not a verdict on the analyst. It is enough to establish that this crypto promotion follows two earlier Bryan Perry pitches into the same record.
The pitch's central claim is that a crypto wipeout has created a chance to buy the next trillion-dollar winner, with XRP and an Ethereum treasury company offering extra ways to build a million-dollar portfolio. The Ethereum part has a real foundation: it is already the number-two cryptocurrency, and its original blockchain thesis was broader than simply copying Bitcoin. But neither the 2014 fellowship from Peter Thiel nor the historical blockchain argument proves a future trillion-dollar valuation. That leap is still a prediction.
The weakest link is the XRP technology story. XRP does have the supply limits, cross-currency settlement design and three-to-five-second ledger settlement the promotion highlights. But the 65,000-TPS comparison and Visa connection point to Solana, not XRP, while the fixed $0.005 fee and instant-settlement language overstate what the XRP Ledger documents say. The pitch has taken a real payments case and put the wrong name on its brightest neon signs.
BitMine is a genuine Ethereum-treasury match, but the financial framing needs a hard look. Its financing and ETH holdings support the idea that BMNR offers stock-market exposure to an Ethereum treasury. Its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K, however, reported just $6,095 of revenue. The later $212 million annualized staking figure, $268 million in cash and marketable securities, and nearly $300 million in projected staking rewards aren't interchangeable with company revenue.
As a basket, the picks aren't equally persuasive. Ethereum carries the core crypto thesis most cleanly, and BMNR is a corporate expression of that thesis rather than ETH itself. XRP has a real technological case, but not the Visa and 65,000-TPS case sold here. The set has two credible ways to express an Ethereum view and one token whose most memorable selling points belong elsewhere.
How confident are we? ETH 92, XRP 35, BMNR 88 out of 100. We identified 3 stocks from the promotion's own clues and checked 26 claims across them against filings, earnings calls, ownership records, market data and public reporting. Confidence is scored per stock, so a weaker one does not borrow credit from a stronger one. This is our analysis, not the publisher's disclosure — we have no relationship with them.
Knowing which stock it is only gets you halfway. We score ETH on valuation, profitability, growth, financial health and momentum — and reach our own conclusion, independent of how it was sold to you.

| BitMine's ETH holdings are worth roughly $11 billion | Checks out | BitMine's July 2026 SEC-filed disclosures valued approximately 5.77 million ETH at about $10.5 billion to $11 billion, depending on the reporting date and ETH price. |
| BitMine holds about 4.8% to 5% of Ethereum's circulating supply | Checks out | BitMine's July 2026 SEC-filed release described 5.77 million ETH as approximately 4.8% of the 120.7-million-ETH supply, alongside its stated five-percent target. |
| BitMine generates $212 million to $268 million per year, soon reaching $300 million | Contradicted | BitMine's fiscal 2025 Form 10-K reported only $6,095 of revenue; later releases described $212 million as annualized staking revenue, $268 million as cash and marketable securities, and nearly $300 million as projected staking rewards, not company revenue. |
| BitMine offers ETH exposure through a single NYSE-listed ticker | Checks out | BitMine trades on the NYSE American and describes ETH treasury operations as its central corporate strategy, giving investors ETH exposure through BMNR stock. |
| BitMine authorized multibillion-dollar buybacks when shares trade below net asset value | Checks out | BitMine announced a $1 billion repurchase program in July 2025 and later disclosed a $4 billion authorization; Chairman Tom Lee specifically cited repurchasing shares when they trade below intrinsic value. |
