    Question

    Bitcoin Treasury Corporate Multiple Compresses as Token Advances 24%

    Direct answer

    Despite a 24% monthly advance in underlying Bitcoin spot prices, equity vehicles holding cryptocurrency treasuries experienced significant multiple compression. Strategy's multiple of equity value relative to its balance sheet Bitcoin holdings collapsed from 3.89 to 1.06. The compression indicates growing investor reluctance to pay substantial equity premiums over net asset value when direct spot and ETF access vehicles are liquid.
