As more and more family offices seek new forms of portfolio diversification, digital assets are gradually gaining a place in long-term investment planning. The discussion is now shifting from the question of participation to the question of how and to what extent they should be integrated into a balanced wealth management strategy.
The topic was developed in a fireside chat entitled 'Family Offices and Digital Assets: Allocation, Adoption & Long-Term Outlook', which took place as part of the recent Digital Assets and the Future of Finance Summit 2026, presented by ECOMMBX.
Rony Vogel, CEO of Vogel Family Office Ltd., presented the perspective of a family office that views digital assets not as a short-term investment opportunity, but as part of a wealth preservation strategy in the face of economic and geopolitical turmoil.
He cited the loss of wealth due to wars, hyperinflation and economic crises, which shaped the philosophy around seeking assets with real resilience. As Vogel said, “we grew up watching wealth build and be lost over and over again. That’s why we are constantly looking for the rarest and most difficult asset to seize.”
He then explained that after the global financial crisis of 2008, there was a shift initially to gold and a few years later, in 2013, she began investing in Bitcoin, gradually increasing both her exposure and her belief in its long-term prospects.
At the same time, he argued that today's era is characterized by increasing uncertainty, as technological advancements, artificial intelligence, geopolitical developments and regulatory changes make it difficult to assess the future value of traditional investments. "The question is not only what it is worth today, but whether it will still have the same value in five or ten years," Vogel said.
In closing, he noted that the concept of scarcity is becoming increasingly important in the new digital economy, estimating that artificial intelligence and digital networks will accelerate the adoption of new forms of money and storage of value. “In a world where artificial intelligence will carry out transactions and manage value, scarcity will become even more important. That is why I believe that more and more investors will reconsider the role of Bitcoin in their portfolios,” Vogel said during the interesting discussion that left its mark on the future of the currency.
The discussion was moderated by Demetris Taxitaris, CEO of Complyport EU (formerly MAP S.Platis).
