Shares in Bitcoin treasury companies could be nearing the end of a period of dampened price action after an investment firm said it closed its short position against Strategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holding company.

He added that MSTR’s implied premium, its enterprise value minus the value of its 641,205 BTC stash, has fallen from about $70 billion in July to $15 billion, suggesting the company may now be better valued.

Bitcoin Treasury Bear Market May Be Nearing Its End

Kynikos Associates founder James Chanos said on Sunday that his investment firm unwound its short position on Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) and a long position on Bitcoin (BTC) at the start of the trading day on Friday.

“The Bitcoin treasury company bear market is gradually coming to an end,” The Bitcoin Bond Company CEO, Pierre Rochard, said in response.

Chanos said that shares in Strategy are down about 50% from their 2025 high and that the company’s market Net Asset Value (mNAV) has compressed to 1.23x.
