MicroStrategy’s current market structure creates a situation where the equity is trading almost directly on top of its underlying net Bitcoin value. After subtracting all debt and even the near-term preferred dividend commitments through year-end, the company’s effective net asset value comes out to roughly $184.49 per share, versus a market price of $186.50. In other words, investors today are paying a premium of only about $2 per share, or roughly 1%, to access the company’s nearly 650,000 BTC position.
When MicroStrategy trades this close to its Bitcoin-backed book value, the thesis becomes straightforward. If Bitcoin’s price moves higher, MicroStrategy’s NAV rises mechanically with it. The company’s structure essentially gives shareholders a leveraged exposure to Bitcoin, yet the current premium is unusually narrow. For anyone who believes Bitcoin continues to appreciate, the setup resembles an asymmetric opportunity: limited downside relative to NAV and direct upside participation in BTC appreciation.
