The post Is This the Indicator That BTC Treasury Companies Have Hit a Bottom? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The bottom of the bitcoin treasury stock bloodbath may finally be in. Jim Chanos, the famed short seller best known for anticipating Enron’s collapse in 2001, said he closed his position on Strategy (MSTR), marking the end of an 11-month short MSTR/long bitcoin BTC$106.094,06 trade. A short position, which involves selling borrowed shares, is a bet a stock will fall. Closing the position is a sign further declines aren’t likely to be significant. Chanos, renowned for exposing corporate overvaluation and accounting excesses, first targeted Strategy when its enterprise value (a figure that includes includes the company’s perpetual preferred and convertible notes) went far beyond the worth of its bitcoin holdings.

The mNAV has compressed to 1.23, prompting Chanos & Co. to recommend covering the trade. The compression in valuation, combined with Strategy’s ongoing issuance of common stock, has driven the position to a successful close.

Is This the Indicator That BTC Treasury Companies Have Hit a Bottom?

The bottom of the bitcoin treasury stock bloodbath may finally be in.

Jim Chanos, the famed short seller best known for anticipating Enron’s collapse in 2001, said he closed his position on Strategy (MSTR), marking the end of an 11-month short MSTR/long bitcoin BTC$106.094,06 trade. A short position, which involves selling borrowed shares, is a bet a stock will fall. Closing the position is a sign further declines aren’t likely to be significant.

Chanos, renowned for exposing corporate overvaluation and accounting excesses, first targeted Strategy when its enterprise value (a figure that includes includes the company’s perpetual preferred and convertible notes) went far beyond the worth of its bitcoin holdings. At the time, MSTR’s multiple net asset value (mNAV) was 2.5, a large premium to its underlying bitcoin.

In a note posted on X, Chanos said MSTR shares have dropped roughly 50% from their 2025 peak. The mNAV has compressed to 1.23, prompting Chanos & Co. to recommend covering the trade.

The unwind coincided with a turbulent year for the bitcoin treasury sector, which saw the biggest names like Metaplanet (3350) and KindlyMD (NAKA) slump more than 80% from their all-time highs.

On Friday, MSTR fell to a 2025 low, down about 20%, as bitcoin rebounded above $105,000, extending its year-to-date gains to roughly 14%. The unwinding of the short MSTR/long bitcoin trade could signal a bottom in for bitcoin treasury companies.

MSTR shares are up 3% pre-market, trading at $248 per share.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
