“Digital-asset treasury plays that once traded at big premiums have fallen back toward net asset value.”, — write: www.coindesk.com
The next move hinges on behavior: either falling prices spark a disorderly sell-off, or companies hold their balances and wait for a rebound, CoinShares head of research, James Butterfill, wrote in a Thursday blog post.
Butterfill said he leans to the latter, citing an improving macro backdrop and the possibility of a Dec. rate cut that could support crypto.
mNAV compares a company’s enterprise value (EV), which is a firm’s market cap plus debt minus any cash, to the market value of its bitcoin holdings. Strategy, the largest corporate holder of bitcoin, currently has an mNAV of around 1.13.
The biggest challenge is structural, according to Butterfill. Investor tolerance for dilution and single-asset concentration without real operating income is fading, after a wave of companies used public markets to build oversized treasuries without building durable businesses, hurting credibility.
There are early signs of a healthier approach as stronger firms add bitcoin as disciplined treasury and FX management, the report said.
The DAT concept isn’t dead so much as being reclassified, with investors likely to draw clearer lines between speculative treasury wrappers, disciplined treasury strategies, token-investment vehicles and strategic corporates, Butterfill said.
The next generation will need fundamentals, credible businesses, tighter governance and realistic expectations, with digital assets as a tool, not the whole story, the report added.
