MicroStrategy Shares Trade Below Value of Its Bitcoin Holdings, Highlighting Cooling Momentum
MicroStrategy's share price dipped below the implied value of its Bitcoin reserves on Tuesday, with MSTR sliding to a new low for 2025 before a partial recovery. The move—where market capitalization undercuts the firm's reported BTC holdings—underscores growing skepticism about the sustainability of using corporate balance sheets as a proxy for crypto exposure.
The gap matters because it reflects how investors are discounting MicroStrategy's strategy, factoring in corporate costs, execution risk and potential regulatory or financing constraints. A persistent disconnect could reduce appetite for similar treasury-bitcoin approaches and may pressure other publicly traded Bitcoin holders. Traders and investors will be watching upcoming earnings, any changes in MicroStrategy’s buyback or debt plans, and BTC price action for clues on whether the stock can re-anchor to its underlying holdings.
