What to know:
- Strategy is lower by another 6.6% on Thursday as bitcoin sinks back below $100,000.
- Shares are now sizably down on a year-to-date and year-over-year basis, though still sharply higher over a much longer time frame.
- MSTR continues to trade at a sizable premium to the value of its bitcoin holdings.
Another difficult day in markets has bitcoin lower by nearly 3% to $98,600, helping to drag down the largest corporate holder of BTC, Strategy (MSTR), by 6.6%.
Now trading at $210, MSTR has returned to levels not seen since the weeks prior to the election of Donald Trump last November. Shares are lower by 30% year-to-date and 36% year-over-year, though remaining massively higher since Michael Saylor and team adopted a bitcoin treasury strategy in August 2020.

The plunge in Strategy relative to the price of bitcoin prompted some on social media to declare the stock in buy territory due to its market cap now being sizably below the value of its BTC stack, i.e. a so-called mNAV below 1.
Indeed, Strategy's 641,692 bitcoin are worth $63.2 billion, or about 5% more than the current market cap of $60 billion. This calculation, however, leaves out all of the company's preferred and debt issuance — both of which have higher payback preference than the common stock.
Adding those items brings Strategy's enterprise value to $75.4 billion, or nearly 20% more than the value of its bitcoin holdings — numbers made clear on Strategy's own dashboard, which showed an mNAV of 1.19 at press time.
Strategy common stock may turn out to be cheap or maybe expensive, but it is not — at current levels — changing hands at a discount to the company's bitcoin.

How AI is helping retail traders exploit prediction market 'glitches' to make easy money
A fully automated bot quietly captured micro-arbitrage opportunities on short-term crypto prediction markets, netting nearly $150,000
What to know:
- The bot exploited fleeting moments when “Yes” and “No” contracts briefly summed to less than $1, locking in roughly 1.5%–3% per trade across 8,894 executions.
- With typical five-minute crypto prediction markets showing only $5,000–$15,000 per side in depth, large desks would struggle to deploy serious capital without erasing the spread.
- As AI systems increasingly arbitrage prediction markets against options and derivatives pricing, these venues risk becoming reflections of broader crypto markets rather than independent sources of crowd-based probability.
