48. Bitcoin, Farmland, and the Future of Wealth with John Heneghan
John Heneghan, founder of Servant Financial and longtime partner in the Promise Land Opportunity Zone Fund, joins us live from the Land Investment Expo. With decades of experience in wealth management and alternative investments, John shares how his journey took him from CFO work to founding Servant Financial, and why faith and purpose guided the name of his firm.
We dive into his investment philosophy, from farmland and private funds to the role of Bitcoin as a modern “digital gold.” John explains why he started allocating Bitcoin into client portfolios, the research behind that decision, and how strategies like rebalancing make even volatile assets part of a long-term plan. He also touches on Bitcoin mining, the future role of crypto in global currencies, and how he helps clients embrace diversification with both tradition and innovation in mind.
