I guess I'm confused why you would move it to an exchange before cold storage. It seems like a wasted step. If you send directly from strike to cold storage, you would theoretically see the balance less often. No judgement here, I'm just curious about the extra step.

Oh oh I see, good question as I didn’t make that part clear. I have my paycheck direct deposit to a traditional bank account and then I have a large reoccurring buy at strike for bill pay, and a smaller one over to river for savings. So both buys take advantage of each exchanges’ free buys on a schedule.
And that’s just to keep the savings separate from bill pay account, any surplus in the bill pay will end up in cold storage too. River also has 1 free transfer off exchange a month, which will waive any mining fees, not that fees have been very high lately. It’s also a form of UTXO management too.
