Analysis: MicroStrategy's valuation has dropped to twice the market value of its BTC holdings, and its stock price may face a downward trend
According to Barron's, the Bitcoin premium of MicroStrategy's stock (measured by the ratio of enterprise value - i.e., market capitalization plus net debt - to the company's holdings in Bitcoin) continues to shrink. The company is currently valued at about twice its Bitcoin holdings, which are approximately 439,000 Bitcoins (estimated by Barron's). This ratio has dropped from a peak of 3.5 times in November to the current double, indicating that MicroStrategy's share price has not been able to keep up with the recent surge and subsequent correction in Bitcoin prices after breaking through $100,000. Given that there is still a high bitcoin premium in stocks, MicroStrategy shares may face more downside space. Currently, MicroStrategy has a market capitalization of about $79 billion USD; it holds around $43 billion USD worth of bitcoins and carries $7 billion USD in debt. An excessively high premium could make MicroStrategy shares prone to corrections as premiums continue shrinking.
