Strategy's enterprise mNAV dips below 1 for the first time

Strategy's enterprise market-to-NAV (mNAV) ratio has slipped under 1 for the first time, as the combined value of its debt, preferred stock and equity now slightly exceeds the market value of its bitcoin holdings. MSTR shares finished Thursday at $82.31, a 52-week low, extending a prolonged decline that has also weighed on the company's preferred securities. In a June 22 SEC filing, Strategy reported holdings of 847,363 BTC. At Friday's spot price of about $60,500, the bitcoin treasury is valued near $51.3 billion. By comparison, Strategy's enterprise value is estimated at roughly $51.2 billion, based on about $28.9 billion of equity market capitalization, $6.75 billion of convertible debt and $15.5 billion of preferred stock. That math implies an enterprise mNAV of approximately 0.99x. [[image:chartbtc90d.png alt="Bitcoin price, last 90 days.

When mNAV is above 1, issuing shares at the prevailing market price effectively buys more than $1 of bitcoin per $1 of equity sold, lifting bitcoin per share for existing holders. With mNAV below 1, that mechanism breaks down. The company's first-quarter earnings filing shows preferred dividend obligations reaching $229.5 million in Q1 2026 alone. Preferred stock outstanding has expanded quickly after Strategy raised more than $13.5 billion in preferred equity since early 2025. Fortune warned in January that an mNAV below 1 would amount to a crisis, writing that "the reason for holding the stock vanishes, and no one will be likely to provide the company with more capital." CEO Phong Le said on a podcast in December that Strategy would consider selling bitcoin if the ratio fell below 1 and other capital sources dried up. STRC hits record lows STRC, Strategy's variable-rate Series A perpetual preferred, has slid to around $75, roughly 25% below its $100 par value, according to market data. Strategy's June 22 SEC filing also shows a USD Reserve of $1.4 billion as of June 21, 2026, a management-designated pool meant to cover preferred dividends and debt interest. The Defiant has followed the STRC selloff through record-low levels, a Rosen Law Firm securities probe, and MSTR's drop below $100 earlier this week. For institutions watching the corporate bitcoin treasury model, an enterprise mNAV below 1 cuts off the equity-accretion channel that helped make the strategy appear repeatable. Similar multiple compression has shown up elsewhere: CoinGecko's treasury tracker put Metaplanet's basic mNAV at 0.84x in late June.
