Mars Finance reported that on June 27, Strategy’s (MSTR) mNAV fell below 1, meaning the market currently values the company at less than the value of its Bitcoin holdings. This is unusual for Strategy, led by Michael Saylor. For years, investors have valued Strategy higher than its Bitcoin holdings, allowing it to flexibly raise capital when needed, and Saylor and his team have fully made use of this. Currently, Strategy’s stock price has fallen to about $82, down approximately 85% from its historical high in November 2024, and its enterprise value has dropped to about $50.4 billion. Meanwhile, with Bitcoin trading at around $60,000, the value of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings is about $51.1 billion. This means that the market’s valuation of the entire company is now below the value of the Bitcoin it holds. At the current valuation level, issuing new shares would be dilutive for Strategy, because the company is effectively selling equity at a price below the value of its underlying assets. Although this doesn’t mean Strategy cannot continue to issue new shares, financing at the current valuation level could draw more criticism. Previously, Strategy’s recent Bitcoin purchases have diluted common shareholders and sparked opposition from the community. Market concerns are growing that Strategy is increasingly looking like a closed-end fund rather than an operating company. Instruments like this typically trade at a premium relative to their underlying Bitcoin holdings when demand is strong, but may trade at a long-term discount after investor sentiment weakens. However, unlike traditional closed-end trusts, Strategy still has multiple tools at its disposal, including issuing debt or equity when it would be accretive, redeeming or refinancing securities, generating operating cash flow through its software business, and actively managing its capital structure.
