The days of Bitcoin treasury concept stocks are becoming increasingly difficult. Among the top 100 Bitcoin treasury companies, at least 37 (about 40%) have seen their stock prices drop below the actual value of the Bitcoin they hold—this is the so-called NAV discount phenomenon.
Macro analyst Alex Kruger describes this situation as a "distorted structure," comparing it to the collapse of the 2020 Grayscale Bitcoin Trust premium. At that time, Grayscale, as a leading Bitcoin trust product, also experienced a severe divergence between its stock price and fundamentals, and everyone knows what happened next.
Now, a similar play is unfolding again. The value of the Bitcoin held by these companies is at this level, but their listed stock prices are even cheaper—on the surface, it seems like a bargain, but this disparity also reflects market concerns about the future of these treasury companies.

A 40% discount on treasury stock? Isn't this just giving away arbitrage opportunities for free? I directly built a position.

40% discount? Isn't that just saying these companies have terrible management skills?

Here we go again, do we have to relive the Grayscale episode? What’s with the 40% discount? These companies are really something else.

It's the same old trick of cutting leeks again. If I could snag a bargain on this dip in CaiKu stocks, I would have already gotten rich.

Here we go again. Who's next to get hit this time? The Grayscale drama isn't over yet, and now a bunch of treasury stocks are trading at a discount. To put it simply, the market simply doesn't trust these middlemen anymore.

It's the same discount scheme again; Grayscale hasn't learned its lesson from the last time.

Is the discount so steep? Haven't you learned enough from the Grayscale lesson?
