Diversify 15% of the Vanilla DAO Treasury into USDC

Summary

Convert 15% of the Vanilla DAO treasury into USDC to establish a stable operating reserve insulated from market volatility, while retaining 85% exposure to the DAO's primary asset.

Motivation

The treasury is currently concentrated in a single volatile asset. A sharp drawdown could force the DAO to pause or cut funding commitments mid-stream. A modest, capped stable reserve de-risks operating runway and makes near-term budgeting predictable, without abandoning the upside on the large remaining majority of the treasury.

Specification

• Convert 15% of current treasury holdings to USDC.
• Execute as a single conversion within 14 days of passage.
• Hold the USDC in the DAO's existing multisig.
• Publish the realized conversion price and resulting balances on-chain after execution.

Voting Options

• For — Approve the 15% conversion to USDC.
• Against — Keep the treasury fully in the current asset.
• Abstain — Acknowledge the proposal without taking a position.

Conclusion

A bounded, reversible step that trades a slice of upside for runway stability and predictable funding. It does not commit the DAO to any further diversification.
