MicroStrategy’s mNAV Ratio Falls to 0.99 with 9.8-Month Dividend Runway
MSTR•MicroStrategy’s mNAV ratio fell to 0.99, below 1 for the first time, as it holds 847,363 BTC valued at $50.7 billion. The firm’s $1.4 billion cash covers just 9.8 months of its $1.71 billion annual dividends, raising concerns over liquidity absent Bitcoin sales.
1. mNAV dips below parity
MicroStrategy’s Market-to-Net Asset Value ratio fell to 0.99, marking the first time the market valued its shares below the Bitcoin held on its balance sheet. This shift undermines the premium that has funded its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy.
2. Bitcoin holdings vs cash reserves
The company holds 847,363 BTC valued at roughly $50.7 billion but only maintains $1.4 billion in liquid USD. With $1.71 billion in annual dividends, cash reserves cover just 9.8 months of payouts absent additional Bitcoin sales.
3. Analyst recommendations
Some analysts forecast a 50 basis-point increase to the company’s preferred dividend and suggest selling at least $3 billion in Bitcoin to bolster cash reserves and sustain dividend coverage beyond the current runway.
4. Collapse risks and critic warnings
Critics warn that ongoing unrealized losses on roughly $14 billion of BTC and legal probes into executive disclosures heighten risks of a deeper cash crunch, with some comparing potential fallout to the FTX collapse.
