The price of Bitcoin and MSTR (MicroStrategy) shares has formed a highly convergent leveraged proxy relationship. MSTR is no longer essentially a software company, but rather a 'Bitcoin leveraged ETF': its beta value reaches 1.77, showing greater elasticity when the coin price rises, and significantly magnified declines when it falls.
The latest holdings show that MSTR holds over 714,000 bitcoins, with an average cost of about $76,056. As the price of Bitcoin fell to $69,000, the unrealized losses expanded to between $4.8 billion and $6.5 billion, and MSTR's stock price has plummeted nearly 80% from its peak.
In terms of market capitalization, the key indicator is the premium rate (mNAV). When the premium is above 1, the company can issue shares at low prices to finance and buy coins at high prices to create a positive feedback loop; however, the current premium has compressed to 1.09 and even briefly fell below 1, resulting in stagnant financing and interrupting the traditional 'issue shares to buy coins' cycle. Market focus has shifted from 'whether to sell coins' to 'whether to refinance at low cost', which will determine whether this highly leveraged model can survive a bear market.
