Phil McGregor: Architect of BESt and AI-Driven Investment Innovation
Phil McGregor developed the BESt, a Bitcoin options strategy that has delivered exceptional annualised returns over three years. BESt now underpins Portal’s shift towards systematic, AI-driven, and Web 3.0-focused growth strategies.
Phil began trading options in 2012, initially with equities before specialising in Bitcoin due to its performance potential. Alongside his trading career, he founded and grew a successful digital marketing agency, evolving from a solo freelancer into a full-fledged team with direct support from within Facebook.
