Inflation Hedge

An inflation hedge is an asset that retains or increases purchasing power as the cost of goods rises and the dollar weakens. Traditional inflation hedges include real estate, gold, and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Bitcoin has emerged as a digital inflation hedge — its fixed 21-million supply cap makes it structurally non-inflationary.

Real estate hedges inflation through rising property values and the ability to charge higher rents, plus a mortgage's nominal debt erodes in real terms as inflation rises.

Why it matters for Milo customers

Milo's crypto-backed mortgage lets you hold both inflation hedges simultaneously. Bitcoin keeps your purchasing-power floor; real estate produces income and equity in a hard asset. The financing structure means you don't trade one inflation hedge to acquire another — you stack them.
