- The imitators and the broader context of the Treasury Department:
The growth of companies mimicking strategies continues, with more than 191 public companies holding Bitcoin in their treasury reserves, according to Bitcoin Treasuries data.
Many of these public companies follow a buy-and-hold strategy for stocks and bonds similar to Strategies, but mining companies like Marathon Digital (MARA) combine production with stock retention. Other companies, such as Metaplanet, have global appeal as an inflation hedge.
As with Strategy, the stock prices of these companies have fallen between 50% and 80% from their peak in 2025, and net asset value premiums are shrinking as Bitcoin's performance falls short of expectations. See the example in the chart below.
Stock prices of MARA, Metaplanet, and Twenty One Capital
A report from CryptoQuant indicated that Bitcoin treasury companies that raised capital through PIPEs have experienced significant declines in stock value, with stock prices often trending toward their PIPE issuance levels.
The analyst concluded that the ongoing rise in Bitcoin's price is the only potential catalyst to prevent further declines in these stocks. Without it, many are expected to continue falling toward or below their private market prices.
- The strategy shows a weak net asset value premium: The Net Asset Value (NAV) premium indicator (NAV) measures the market's valuation of the company relative to its Bitcoin holdings and other assets, excluding liabilities. The current net asset value premium is -18.12% (0.82x), meaning the market values MSTR at 82% of its Bitcoin holdings per share (excluding the value of other businesses).
This indicates that investors are currently unwilling to pay a premium for the Strategy company's leveraged Bitcoin exposure, as concerns about dilution, rising debt costs, and sideways Bitcoin performance affect sentiment — making it difficult for MSTR to raise low-cost capital for further Bitcoin accumulation without pressuring shareholders.
However, during strong market booms, this premium has often ranged from 1.5x to 2.5x, allowing the Strategy company to raise capital at a low cost and increase the Bitcoin price per share.

Crypto awareness is soaring in 2025, but real understanding is rare. Know blockchain basics, secure your keys ("not your keys, not your crypto"), avoid scams, and DYOR. True power lies in informed sovereignty.
