CASE STUDY: $MSTR created the template for crypto treasury.

- since 2020 start of $BTC strategy, @MicroStrategy
- stock gain from $13 to $455

QUESTION?
How much is due to BTC rise vs treasury strategy
$BMNR @BitMNR

2/
Of the 35X rise in $MSTR price:

- 11X due to $BTC Bitcoin rising from $11k to $118k
- 25X due to Treasury strategy
- aka increase in BTC per share

Treasury strategy far more significant than token price gain

There are multiple ways $MSTR Treasury DAT strategies grow the token held per share:

- issue stock > P/NAV (mNAV) = rising token/share
- token volatility lowers cost of borrowing = better ROI
- use converts/preferred = limited equity dilution

By the way
- $ETH has higher volatilty than $BTC
- so this volatility reduces ETH DAT more than BTC DAT
