NEW YORK / LONDON (IT BOLTWISE) – Valuing Bitcoin Treasury stocks using the mNAV approach is gaining traction, but experts like NYDIG are criticizing the method. They complain that important risks are not sufficiently taken into account, which forces investors to carry out a more detailed analysis.

The valuation of companies that hold Bitcoin in their vaults has reached a new dimension with the introduction of mNAV (modified net asset value). This metric compares the company’s value, consisting of market capitalization plus debt minus cash, with the market value of Bitcoin holdings. An mNAV value above 1.0 indicates that the market is attributing a premium to the company’s Bitcoin holdings, while a value below 1.0 indicates a discount.
However, calculating the mNAV is not without its pitfalls. Different variants such as mNAV Basic, mNAV Diluted and mNAV EV take into account different aspects of the company structure and number of shares. A value above 1.0 can be beneficial for a company because it makes it easier for them to raise capital and expand their Bitcoin holdings. However, if the value falls, raising capital becomes more difficult.
NYDIG, a leading research company, has critically examined the mNAV approach. Greg Cipolaro, NYDIG’s global head of research, argues that the mNAV does not adequately reflect key risks such as the treatment of convertible bonds. These bonds are often viewed as safely convertible into equity, but if market conditions are not met, they may need to be redeemed in cash, presenting significant refinancing risk.
Despite the criticism, mNAV remains a widely used tool for valuing Bitcoin Treasury stocks. However, investors are increasingly demanding more transparency and standardization in order to better assess the actual risks and opportunities. The discussion about the mNAV shows that the valuation of Bitcoin holdings in company balance sheets is complex and requires continuous further development.
