JAN3 CEO Samson Mow argues Bitcoin treasury firms like Strategy are undervalued, explaining their role as buyers of last resort driving a global scarcity race.
Are Bitcoin treasury companies being overlooked? JAN3 CEO Samson Mow says a lot of them, especially Strategy (MSTR), are massively undervalued right now. He explains why treasury companies act as Bitcoin’s buyer of last resort, buying no matter what and creating a self-reinforcing cycle that should push the price higher over time. Mow also shares why the best time to launch a Bitcoin treasury company or Bitcoin bond is when the price is low, and how sovereigns looking to Bitcoin are adding to a worldwide race for a finite asset

Asanat Analysis — Why it matters
Samson Mow's framing of Bitcoin treasury companies as 'massively undervalued' reflects a structural thesis gaining traction among institutional players: that publicly traded firms holding Bitcoin on-balance-sheet trade at a discount to net asset value (NAV). MicroStrategy (MSTR) pioneered this model, accumulating ~200k BTC, yet the company's market cap historically trades below the spot value of its holdings plus business operations. This discount persists despite Bitcoin's maturation as a reserve asset and increasing institutional adoption.
The treasury strategy signals two parallel narratives. First, it's a capital-efficient arbitrage play—equity holders gain leveraged Bitcoin exposure without direct custody friction. Second, and more structurally important, it legitimizes Bitcoin as corporate reserve currency, similar to how gold reserves once anchored balance sheets. If this model scales among publicly traded firms seeking yield and inflation hedges, it could drive sustained demand independent of retail cycles. However, the valuation argument depends on sustained Bitcoin appreciation; erosion in BTC price would quickly close or reverse the NAV premium thesis.
Treasury firms' valuation discount may also reflect market skepticism about management execution, regulatory risk, or the persistence of corporate Bitcoin holdings during downturns—not fundamental underpricing. The narrative works best for long-duration Bitcoin bulls but introduces equity-market risk that spot Bitcoin ownership avoids.
