Important Disclosure
Each of these securities has its own risks and benefits. A complete analysis should include a look at the risk profile, liquidity, and structural features of each security. Treasury Bills are backed by the U.S. Government, which has the power to tax and print money to repay debts. Digital credit is a novel asset class subject to unique risks and uncertainties, as profiled in the prospectus of each digital credit security.
Methodology & Attribution
How it works: The calculator splits your treasury principal between digital credit and T-bills at the allocation you choose, then computes annual income under constant yields. The blended return is compared against a 100% T-bill baseline to show incremental income.
Compounding: When "Reinvest income" is enabled, annual income is added back to the balance each year (annual compounding). When disabled, income is calculated on the original principal each year (simple interest).
What it does NOT model: Credit risk, price volatility, liquidity differences, fees, taxes, default scenarios, or yield changes over time. This is a pure income-comparison tool, not a risk model.
Attribution: Originally created by Joe Burnett. Adapted for True North with dark theme, brand integration, and digital credit context.

What Is the Digital Credit Treasury Calculator?
The Digital Credit Treasury Calculator is a free, interactive tool that helps corporate treasurers, CFOs, and individual investors model how allocating a portion of their treasury to digital credit instruments could affect total income compared to holding 100% T-bills.
Digital credit instruments like STRC, STRK, STRD, and SATA are Bitcoin-backed preferred equity securities that aim to deliver higher yields than traditional short-duration fixed-income products.
How to Use the Calculator
- Enter your total treasury size (cash and cash equivalents)
- Set the allocation percentage between digital credit and T-bills
- Adjust the annual yield assumptions for each instrument
- Choose a time horizon (1, 3, 5, or 10 years)
- Toggle reinvestment to compare simple vs. compound returns
Results update in real time as you change any input. The primary KPI — additional annual income vs. 100% T-bills — shows the incremental value of the digital credit allocation at a glance.
Why Compare Digital Credit to T-bills?
Treasury Bills are the traditional benchmark for short-duration, low-risk treasury management. They are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and currently yield around 3-5% annually. Digital credit instruments aim to offer significantly higher yields — often 8-12%+ — while being backed by Bitcoin held on corporate balance sheets.
The comparison is relevant because both serve the same treasury function: generating income on idle capital. The calculator helps quantify the income difference under your assumptions so you can evaluate the trade-off between traditional government-backed safety and higher-yielding digital credit.
