As a result of the long-term downturn on digital asset markets and the pressures that have been placed upon Bitcoin treasury firms, the premiums for net asset value (NAV), across all sectors, has decreased.
NAV represents the total value of a company’s assets — in this case, primarily Bitcoin holdings — minus liabilities, divided by the number of shares outstanding. Investors often pay attention to multiple-to NAV (mNAV) when it comes to Bitcoin Treasury companies. This measure compares the market cap of a company with its Bitcoin value per share.
If mNAV exceeds 1.0 then a company’s shares are trading at a higher price than its net asset value. Below 1.0 they are at a lower price. ProCap’s mNAV is currently around 0.24, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET data.
