*The Bitcoin Treasury Company Model Under Pressure*

Firms like Strategy popularized holding Bitcoin on the balance sheet and issuing equity/debt to buy more. It worked when BTC rallied and shares traded at a premium to NAV. In 2026 the model faces new headwinds.

3 key pressures:
1. *ETF Competition*: Low-fee spot ETFs offer cheaper BTC exposure
2. *Index Risk*: MSCI is considering rule changes that could trigger $2.8B in passive outflows from crypto-heavy firms
3. *Rate Sensitivity*: Higher interest rates make leveraged balance sheets expensive to maintain

We’re already seeing the unwind. The Smarter Web Company sold 178 BTC to repay debt. In flat markets, equity premiums flip to discounts and dividend obligations may force more BTC sales.

For US strategy teams, these stocks are now treated as high-beta Bitcoin proxies. Overweight only if BTC momentum is confirmed. Otherwise, reduce exposure and rotate to ETFs.
