MicroStrategy Inc. (MSTR) has seen its net asset value (NAV) premium surge to its highest level since February 2021, despite Bitcoin’s ongoing price decline.

The NAV premium, which reflects the market value of MicroStrategy’s stock relative to its Bitcoin holdings, has climbed to 2.5 times, according to recent data.

As of this writing, MicroStrategy’s market capitalization stands at approximately $37.14 billion, while its Bitcoin holdings—totaling 252,220 BTC—are valued at $15.1 billion.

This premium increase has persisted even as Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped by 16% over the year.

MicroStrategy stock outperforms Bitcoin in 2024

While Bitcoin has struggled, MicroStrategy’s stock has surged in 2024. Since the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in January, MicroStrategy shares have soared more than 240%, hitting an all-time high on October 8.

In contrast, Bitcoin has declined 16% since its peak in March, showing a clear divergence in performance between the two assets.

Currently, MicroStrategy shares are trading at 0.0030 times the price of Bitcoin, the highest ratio since the company began holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet in 2020. Investors seem increasingly drawn to the stock, seeing it as a way to gain returns that outperform Bitcoin itself.

MicroStrategy’s aggressive Bitcoin acquisition strategy

The rise in MicroStrategy’s premium is largely driven by its aggressive strategy of acquiring Bitcoin through both debt and equity financing.

Since adopting Bitcoin as a key balance sheet asset in August 2020, the company has consistently increased its holdings, often using at-the-market (ATM) equity offerings and convertible senior notes to raise capital.

This strategy has enabled MicroStrategy to significantly boost its Bitcoin holdings per share. Currently, each share represents approximately 0.0012 Bitcoin.

Despite the risk of shareholder dilution, the company has managed to grow its Bitcoin stash faster than the dilution rate, maintaining a favorable position for shareholders.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin yield continues to grow

A key metric for MicroStrategy is its “Bitcoin Yield,” which measures the quarter-over-quarter percentage change in the ratio of Bitcoin holdings to outstanding diluted shares.

In the second quarter of 2024, this metric rose to 5.1%, up from 4.4% in the previous quarter, highlighting the company’s ability to increase its Bitcoin holdings despite market volatility.

As long as MicroStrategy maintains this aggressive accumulation strategy, its stock price premium relative to its Bitcoin holdings could continue to expand. Investors may see the stock as a leveraged way to gain exposure to Bitcoin’s price movements.

Future of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin premium

With its track record of leveraging Bitcoin to enhance shareholder value, MicroStrategy’s NAV premium is likely to stay elevated for the foreseeable future.

If Bitcoin prices recover or demand for the stock remains strong, the ratio between the company’s market cap and its Bitcoin holdings could reach new highs.

However, risks persist. A prolonged downturn in Bitcoin prices or financial strain from MicroStrategy’s significant debt load could pose challenges.

Nonetheless, the company’s unique approach to balancing Bitcoin acquisition with shareholder returns makes it an attractive option for investors seeking indirect exposure to Bitcoin without directly holding the cryptocurrency.
