📉 BTC companies are at risk: NAV approaches — premium disappears
🔍 Some public companies holding bitcoin have started trading near their net asset value (NAV) for the first time in a long while. This is a worrying signal:
— Previously, they traded at a premium, allowing them to raise capital through stock issuance (ATM programs) and strengthen BTC positions.
— Now, however, the difference is nearly erased, and issuing new shares may dilute shareholder value without any benefit.
⚠️ In a bear market, this translates to capital erosion rather than growth.
💡 What can be done:
1. Limit stock issuance if the price falls below 95% of NAV;
2. Initiate a buyback — if shares are trading at a discount to NAV, buyback is the best way to return value to shareholders;
3. Conduct a strategic audit: business split, consolidation, or delisting if the premium does not recover;
4. Tie management motivation to growth in NAV per share, rather than the volume of BTC on the balance sheet.
📊 The stakes are now — financial stability. In the event of the next downturn, without discipline and flexibility, such companies may not survive.$BTC
