Strategy's accretive Bitcoin accumulation has raised net backing per share, lowering the premium needed to revisit its $543 intraday high. At $98,000 Bitcoin, backing rose from $127 to $160 since November 2024, cutting the required net mNAV from 4.3x to 3.4x. A 2.5x premium at $200,000-$250,000 Bitcoin would imply roughly $896-$1,131; 2.5x is plausible at peak euphoria, not expected at $126,000. Premiums depend on Bitcoin momentum and sentiment, which Strategy cannot control. x.com x.com
Strategy's Bitcoin holdings cover its net debt and preferred shares 4.6 times over, making predictions of imminent collapse implausible. Its 848,517 BTC are worth $68.5 billion; $6.7 billion of convertible debt less $5.3 billion of cash leaves just $1.4 billion in net debt, roughly 2% of its Bitcoin holdings. It also has $13.5 billion of preferreds. x.com x.com
Strategy might be undervalued because it holds far more Bitcoin than the first time its stock traded at the same price. At $140.51 today, it holds 848,517 BTC, versus 193,000 BTC the first time shares reached $140.51. x.com x.com
Bitcoin treasury companies with higher premiums can see greater price appreciation because buying Bitcoin at those premiums is highly accretive, if they do buy it. Last cycle, the companies demanding higher premiums saw the highest price appreciation, mostly for that reason. x.com
Strategy needs a solid bid to preserve the premium that funds its bitcoin purchases. MSCI's new rules could eject it from global indexes and force passive selling; JPMorgan estimates $2.8 billion in Strategy share sales if that happens, or up to $8.8 billion if others follow. Without the premium, it cannot raise funds to buy bitcoin. Watch whether the rules bite on November 30. x.com
Heavy inflows could lift Strive's mNAV above Strategy's for periods because they have more impact on the smaller company. Strive could do even better than 6x versus Strategy's 4x, as investors seek the faster Bitcoin treasury stock. x.com x.com x.com
Strategy is attracting some of the world's largest fund managers because they want Bitcoin exposure. Their buying supports the bullish case for MSTR as a listed vehicle for institutional Bitcoin demand. x.com
Strategy's mNAV has dropped below 1, which will make it much harder to issue new shares. The company is valued at just $29.5 billion despite holding over $51 billion of bitcoin, as investors who once treated it like a leveraged bitcoin ETF, issuing shares to buy more bitcoin at a premium, now doubt the whole structure amid serious dilution. x.com x.com
Strategy offers more upside than bitcoin because it is levered through fixed-dollar convertible debt and preferred equity: if bitcoin reaches $220,000 in 2028-29, it could deliver a much higher percentage return. It should benefit whenever bitcoin flips above $100,000 in the next few years. It can also fall twice as much as bitcoin, so holders must avoid getting stopped out. x.com x.com
Strategy is at its core leveraged Bitcoin, so a 3x Bitcoin move to $200K should send Strategy up 4-5x from here. x.com
Strategy runs a Ponzi-like loop: new capital buys bitcoin, which lifts the stock and attracts more capital, while the business makes almost no organic cash flow and collapses without constant raising. It trades at a big premium to NAV, effectively selling $1 of bitcoin for $1.50, lost $12.5B in Q1 2026, and has now sold bitcoin for the first time since 2022 despite Michael Saylor's vow never to sell. Owning bitcoin itself makes more sense than owning Strategy. x.com x.com
Bitcoin and Strategy offer an unparalleled and underappreciated setup now that the issue around Strategy's STRC preferred is largely resolved. x.com
