NYDIG: The mNAV metric commonly used by Bitcoin treasury companies may be misleading and inaccurate
According to CoinDesk, Greg Cipolaro, Head of Global Research at NYDIG, released a report indicating that the mNAV metric commonly used by Bitcoin treasury companies may be misleading. This is because mNAV does not account for potential operating businesses or other assets held by these companies. Additionally, the metric often uses "assumed shares outstanding," which typically includes convertible bonds that have not yet met conversion conditions, potentially resulting in inaccurate data. Notably, mNAV refers to the ratio of market capitalization to net asset value. If mNAV is greater than 1, Bitcoin treasury companies can issue new shares at a premium, use the proceeds to purchase BTC, and thereby increase per-share BTC holdings and book value. However, if mNAV converges to or falls below 1, downward pressure on BTC's price and weak secondary market demand would shift the flywheel mechanism from "value accretion" to "dilution," creating a negative feedback loop.

Notably, mNAV refers to the ratio of market capitalization to net asset value. When mNAV exceeds 1, Bitcoin treasury companies can conduct dilutive fundraising at a premium and use the proceeds to purchase BTC, thereby increasing BTC holdings per share and enhancing book value. However, if mNAV converges to or falls below 1, due to declining BTC prices and weak secondary market demand, the flywheel mechanism shifts from "value accretion" to "dilution," creating a negative feedback loop.
