Strategy (MSTR) is the big daddy of bitcoin in treasury companies and its success is seen, by believers, as proof that The Smarter Web Company (SWC) can go only one way. But even Strategy trades at less than 2 times NAV whereas the Smarter Web company, at 217.5p, trades at more than five times fully diluted NAV. So, if one accepts that Strategy is cheap, which I am not sure I do, then that does not make Smarter Web anything but expensive. But what if Strategy shares were to puke? Could that happen?

Following on from my earlier piece on Microstrategy (Nasdaq:MSTR) and bitcoin I look at its valuation and also that of Golden Prospect Precious Metals (GPM). You may say its apples and pears but it tells you something does it not?

If you think that Bitcoin is overpriced at just under $100,000 then a possible stock to short is MicroStrategy (Nasdaq:MSTR) at $422 which describes itself thus: “MicroStrategy® is the world’s first and largest Bitcoin Treasury Company.” You would be following the strategy of a well-respected short seller Citron Research which initiated a short a few days ago. Its thesis was that MicroStrategy’s market capitalisation was far to far ahead of the value of its bitcoin portfolio.
