The Wall Street Journal commented that Strategy's mNAV indicator, used to measure the company's valuation relative to its Bitcoin holdings premium, calculates enterprise value based on the face value of debt and preferred stock rather than market capitalization, which may overestimate the company's valuation. When mNAV falls below 1, Strategy's model of issuing securities at high valuations to accumulate BTC faces pressure; if the discount persists, the company may need to sell some BTC to repurchase securities or meet cash demands.

Using debt face value instead of market value to calculate enterprise value is just accounting magic; in a real liquidation, preferred shareholders get out first.

Saylor's infinite bullet theory assumes the market always gives a premium; if mNAV<1, this assumption collapses.

Curious if it really comes to selling coins, whether to prioritize stock buybacks or protect BTC positions—this choice is very human.

So the core risk is: continued discount → forced selling → selling pressure → more discount, a classic DeFi death spiral moved to U.S. stocks.

WSJ's stab is precise; mNAV falling below 1 is the starting point of a death spiral, while BTC holdings become a time bomb instead.
