**[NYDIG Calls on Bitcoin Treasury Companies to Abandon "Misleading" mNAV Metric]** According to The Block, Strive Asset Management has acquired Semler Scientific through an all-stock transaction to create a merged company holding over 10,900 BTC. In response, NYDIG's Global Head of Research, Greg Cipolaro, pointed out in a report that the commonly used "mNAV" metric (defined as market capitalization divided by cryptocurrency holdings) should be removed from industry reports. This acquisition highlights the potential issues with the "mNAV" metric, which is used to evaluate the value of Bitcoin treasury companies but may be misleading or dishonest. NYDIG noted two key points: 1. mNAV does not take into account the operational businesses or other assets that Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies may own, while most large Bitcoin asset reserve companies indeed have value-creating businesses. 2. mNAV often uses "assumed shares outstanding," which may include convertible bonds that have not yet met conversion conditions. Convertible bondholders may demand cash repayment, making this liability much heavier for DATs compared to simply issuing shares. Moreover, convertible bonds are essentially volatility arbitrage tools, giving DATs an incentive to maximize equity volatility.
