Sold BTC and used the proceeds to buy more OWL.
While I had said that BTC belongs to a HODL basket, it doesn't fit into my family fund because as a commodity, it cannot generate stable cash flow to provide distributions to the family (see Tai Family Fund Distribution Strategy). Hence, I decided to swap it with my other portfolio for cash. That is treated as a "sales" in this Tai Family Portfolio. I lost 1-(41.2/45.17) = 8.79% for an average holding period of about 6 months. It was about 0.4% of my portfolio.
OWL is trading at 5.8% dividend yield, and its earnings per share is growing 10-15% a year. Its business model is asset-light and it has a majority of its asset management in permanent capital, so the current valuation is very compelling.

Portfolio holdings conviction
The convictions in the table below reflects my current opinions and will guide the future contribution of additional investment to existing holdings. Stocks not inside the table are stocks with subpar return on equity that will be very unlikely to receive more contributions from new money (there can be exceptions for very cheap stocks).
Conviction in long-term prospects means how much I believe a company would match or outperform the market (e.g. S&P 500) in the long run. Valuation matters so the conviction generally corresponds to the neutral rating of Valuation. It has the following ratings: weak, moderate, strong
Valuation: greatly overvalued, overvalued, slightly overvalued, neutral, slightly undervalued, undervalued, greatly undervalued

Below are incomplete writeups:
BRK.B
Berkshire Hathaway in the current form was found by my idols, Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. I will try to buy more if it's not very expensive.
APO
Apollo specialized in distress situations, which reduced the number of competitors. Its famous slogan is purchase price matters, which shows how price conscious they are in picking investment. It has another slogan "we want 25% of everything and 100% of nothing on the asset", which is a goal post of the company about engaging in a lot of asset managing transactions even for other asset managers. It's a good way to position the company to have a large adjustable market. Their use of reinsurance company, Athene, helps them to grow assets under management effortlessly as well.
[2025/04/04] Expected 2025 EPS is $8.3, so P/E around 13.25, pretty cheap with an expected growth of 10-15%. 1.68% dividend yield helps a bit as well.
BAM
The pure asset management company part of the Brookfield Corporation. With BN, BAM can grow its asset under management (AUM) easily. Oaktree Capital, founded by the famous Howard Marks, is part of it, so it's very reputable.
The management has already indicated they are locked in to grow its cash flow 15% annually for the next field years. Its management fees do not rely on performance that much, so they are stable. With an expected 2023 EPS of $1.39, P/E 25 is not cheap, but with the help of 3.8% dividend yield (close to 100% payout, thanks to the asset light business model), there is a fair chance the stock can return 15% annually.
BX
A very reputable company in real estate. Its management fees rely on performance much more than Brookfield, but Blackstone has a track record, so I am not too worried about it.
Expected 2023 EPS is $4.36, P/E ~ 21. A 3.5% dividend yield with expected annual growth of 10-15%, this stock can potentially get a 15+% return in the long run.
