What to know:

  • B. Riley lowered mNAV, accumulation assumptions and price targets across treasury firms as valuations compress faster than underlying tokens.
  • The bank still sees arbitrage opportunities in companies trading below mNAV and expects buybacks, preferred deals and advanced ether restaking to support multiples.
  • It remains most constructive on BitMine and SharpLink, while flagging value setups in FG Nexus, Sequans and Kindly MD.

B. Riley cut its outlook for digital-asset treasury companies (Datcos) after a sell-off that outpaced the declines in bitcoin BTC$91,825.07, ether ETH$3,033.72 and solana SOL$142.00 themselves.

The companies' valuations have compressed meaningfully since October, dragged down by macro pressures that have slowed token accumulation, the report said. Bitcoin-focused treasury companies are down roughly 37%, ETH treasuries 39% and SOL treasuries 59%, compared with drops of 16%, 22% and 28% in the underlying tokens.

Analysts Fedor Shabalin and Nick Giles cut their mNAV and accumulation assumptions through 2026 and also lower share price targets across their coverage.

BitMine's (BMNR) price target was slashed to $47 from $90 on reduced mNAV assumptions, but kept at buy. The analysts noted that the company continues to accumulate ether aggressively. The stock was 4.6% higher in pre-market trading, around $30.50.

The analysts cut their FG Nexus (FGNX) target to $5 from $8 and lowered both mNAV and accumulation forecasts following slower-than-expected third-quarter ether buildup and the firm’s current 0.7x mNAV, which limits accretive at-the-money (ATM) usage. The stock was kept at buy. The shares climbed 3.5% to $2.69 in early trading.

Kindly MD’s (NAKA) target was halved to $1 with its buy rating maintained. The report cited the company's roughly 0.7x BTC NAV valuation as still compelling. The stock was recently 2.5% higher at $0.55.

Sequans’ (SQNS) price target was trimmed to $11 from $13, and kept at buy. The analysts viewed the discount-to-NAV setup as attractive. The shares jumped 5% in pre-market trading Thursday to $5.90.

The bank reiterated its buy rating and $19 price target for SharpLink Gaming (SBET), noting previously updated estimates and highlighting management’s push into more advanced ETH yield strategies. SBET stock was 3.6% higher, at $10.22.

Despite recent weakness in these stocks, the analysts said the market is still undervaluing datcos trading below mNAV and expects companies to lean harder into return on equity (ROE)-lifting tactics like buybacks, preferred deals and more advanced ether restaking.

A rebound, the bank noted, depends on steadier crypto markets and credible follow-through on yield strategies. BitMine and SharpLink remain B. Riley’s highest-conviction ETH treasury names, showing the most resilience in a battered sector.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
