Bitcoin's corporate treasuries and the bitcoin mining sector have been stealing the spotlight in this market cycle. From (Micro)Strategy's billion-dollar Bitcoin buys to the emergence of MetaPlanet and the rapid growth of bitcoin mining companies, institutional and industrial adoption are playing a crucial role in supporting the network. However, we're now at a turning point where the data hints at a potential shift. This moment could determine whether Bitcoin's corporate treasuries and mining stocks will maintain their lead or start to fall behind in the upcoming phase of the cycle.
Bitcoin Treasury Accumulation
The Rise of Bitcoin in Corporate Treasuries
Our brand-new Bitcoin Treasury Tracker offers daily insights into the Bitcoin holdings of major public and private treasury companies, showcasing their accumulation trends and evolving positions. These treasuries now collectively hold over 1 million BTC, which is more than 5% of the total circulating supply.
Valuation Compression Across Bitcoin Treasuries
Understanding the Impact on Equity Valuations
(Micro)Strategy / MSTR, a trailblazer in corporate Bitcoin adoption, holds the largest publicly traded Bitcoin stash. However, recent months have seen its stock underperform compared to Bitcoin's price movements. This underperformance has led to a closer alignment of its Net Asset Value (NAV) Premium to parity at 1.0x.
The Shift in Market Perception
This parity indicates that investors are now valuing the company almost solely based on its Bitcoin exposure, with little premium for other factors like management decisions or strategic planning. The move towards parity signals a decrease in speculative interest and mirrors previous market behaviors during late-stage expansions.
A Pivotal Moment for Bitcoin and Bitcoin Mining Stocks
The BTCUSD to MSTR Ratio Revealed
The BTCUSD to MSTR ratio, showing how many MSTR shares can be bought with one Bitcoin, is currently a critical indicator. Breaking above 380-400 would suggest renewed Bitcoin dominance and potential MSTR underperformance. On the other hand, a drop below 330 could signal MSTR's resurgence as a leader leveraging into the next phase of the bull market.
Bitcoin Mining Stocks Taking the Lead
While corporate treasuries lag, Bitcoin miners are thriving. In the last six months, Bitcoin has grown by 38%, whereas Listed Miner equities have skyrocketed: Marathon Digital (MARA) rose by 61%, Riot Platforms (RIOT) surged by 231%, and Hive Digital (HIVE) soared by a whopping 369%. The WGMI Bitcoin Mining ETF, comprising major listed miners, has outperformed Bitcoin by about 75% since September, showcasing the sector's newfound momentum.

The Shifting Landscape
With more than 1 million BTC held in corporate treasuries, these entities significantly impact Bitcoin's supply-demand dynamics. Yet, the balance of power seems to be changing. Treasuries like (Micro)Strategy and MetaPlanet, while bullish in the long run, are struggling to outperform spot BTC. In contrast, miners are enjoying a period of strong relative performance, often signaling broader market momentum to come.
