Bitcoin-holding public firms are facing risks of shareholder dilution as their stock approaches or falls below Bitcoin net asset value (NAV).
ATM issuance near NAV can erode shareholder value instead of building capital, according to a VanEck director.
To prevent dilution similar to crypto mining sector errors, Sigel suggests safeguards like halting ATM issuance below 0.95x NAV for 10+ sessions and focusing on buybacks during Bitcoin price increases.
Strategic reviews including mergers, spinoffs, or abandoning BTC strategy are proposed if discounts persist.
Executive compensation tied to NAV per share growth is recommended to align interests.
Boards are advised to take proactive steps to preserve value and protect shareholders as BTC exposure may backfire.
VanEck director emphasizes the importance of acting now while there are still premiums.
Bitcoin treasury firms should prioritize protecting shareholder value and options by halting dilution and considering strategic alternatives.
Sigel suggests tying executive compensation to NAV per share growth for better alignment of interests.
Boards should take preventive measures to safeguard shareholder value and avoid negative impacts of BTC exposure.
