I agree with sickpig here, so am voting no. Regardless of the outcome, I'm going to take this BUIP and the discussion around it as an indication of the membership's desire to get BUIP072 done.

If you voted no but really mean "yes but use a different % or do BUIP072 instead" please write a comment here so we can get a sense of the actual membership preference.

I too agree with @sickpig and voted no.

Firstly, there is 125 BTC that is already authorized for swapping to BCH, that we intend to execute once we have legal clarity on the issue.

Secondly, 50% is too much. I would vote in favour of ~25%, however. That would put BU in a position where it holds approximately 8 BCH for every 1 BTC. If BCH is successful, BU will have dramatically improved its financial situation. If BCH fails, only 1/4 of BU's funds would be lost.
