CFA knowledge is fantastic regardless. The certification itself requires a certain rigor. It deserves a premium.
For BTC, the analytical skills are great, but research skills take the cake, in my opinion.

And how can you get research skills then?

First honor and develop your curiosity. The research question is the most important part. Next learn basic and intermediate statistical methods. Learn what primary, secondary, and tertiary sources are and try to stick with primary. Heck try to be the primary source. Apprentice (learn from and work) with a professional researcher if you can. Next iterate the learning process for continuous improvement.
Here is a LinkedIn article: What are the best ways to improve your research skills?

Rephrase the question more specifically. What do you mean by bitcoiner financial professional?
A CFA is a good designation to learn the depths of academic finance without spending an arm and a leg on a masters degree. Get it if you want to be literate regarding most corners of finance.
How relevant this is to bitcoin depends on what you mean to the above question. For example, if you wanted to work in wealth management for bitcoin then it's valuable knowledge to have. If you want to build a financial app that leverages bitcoin as money it really doesn't matter and your time is better spent as an entrepreneur.
Also tests are dumb. I'm a CFA and when I think about the ~1000 hours of studying for it compared to what else I could've learned it pains me. I would encourage to spend the equivalent amount of time getting deeper into bitcoin (eg, perhaps answering questions around what scaling layers will do what and why?). 1000 hours of understanding in this area is likely to be much more valuable than a generic financial education that millions have.
