10x Research: The NAV premiums of most Bitcoin treasury companies have significantly contracted and may soon enter a negative-premium era.
10x Research posted an analysis on X, pointing out that as Bitcoin’s volatility continues to decline, the NAV premiums of most Bitcoin treasury companies have significantly contracted—some even turning into substantial discounts—resulting in visible losses for related investors. Historically, Grayscale’s GBTC briefly traded at a 47% discount in December 2022; at that time, investors could effectively buy Bitcoin through the product at an implied price below $10,000. The market had mistakenly viewed traditional finance–packaged crypto asset products as “Bitcoin leveraged tools.” In reality, these structures resemble options more closely: their implied value expands when volatility rises and contracts when volatility falls.

JPMorgan: Strategy's Bitcoin Purchases Could Reach $30 Billion This Year
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), led by Michael Saylor, has been accelerating its Bitcoin acquisitions this year. JPMorgan analysts stated that if the current pace continues, the company's total Bitcoin purchases for the year could reach approximately $30 billion. So far this year, Strategy has added 145,834 Bitcoin to its holdings, valued at around $11 billion. Analysis indicates that a significant portion of the company's purchases occurred when Bitcoin was below its average cost of roughly $75,000, reflecting a more "opportunistic" allocation strategy.At the current rate, Strategy's total Bitcoin purchases in 2026 could significantly exceed the approximately $22 billion levels seen in 2024 and 2025. Analysts noted that the company has re-accelerated its buying since April, suggesting its strategy is becoming more dependent on market conditions and financing availability. Meanwhile, Strategy's stock continues to trade at a premium of approximately 26% to its net asset value (NAV), providing favorable conditions for the company to continue purchasing Bitcoin through equity and debt financing. The company currently holds approximately 818,334 BTC, with a total value exceeding $65 billion. (The Block)
TD Cowen Reiterates Sharplink "Buy" Rating: Maintains $16 Price Target, Sees 106% Upside
Odaily Investment bank TD Cowen reiterated its "Buy" rating on Sharplink following its Q1 earnings report, maintaining a $16 price target, implying approximately 106% upside from the current share price of $7.76.Sharplink's Q1 revenue exceeded $12 million. The company also announced the establishment of an approximately $125 million income fund in partnership with Galaxy Digital, with Sharplink contributing roughly $100 million. The fund will focus on DeFi and liquidity yield opportunities, targeting returns higher than base staking yields.The analyst team believes the current share price is in a "favorable entry window," driven primarily by a persistent NAV discount and expanding Ethereum demand. Sharplink currently holds approximately 873,000 ETH (about $2 billion), translating to a net asset value (NAV) of roughly $9.68 per share, while the stock still trades at about a 20% discount to NAV. TD Cowen noted that the Galaxy partnership strengthens Sharplink's yield strategy, allowing it to maintain ETH exposure while improving capital efficiency through institutional-grade DeFi opportunities.

Apyx: Launching Apyx 2.0 to Redesign the Capitalization Framework
According to official news from Apyx, during the recent Bitcoin decline, as STRC hit its historical maximum drop, the secondary market price of apxUSD fell to $0.90. Throughout the event, the protocol remained solvent, and no bad debts were generated in the Morpho lending market.In response to issues exposed during this stress test, such as inaccurate overnight liquidity and net asset value display, Apyx officially announced Apyx 2.0. This version introduces two independent metrics—redemption value and total collateral value—to eliminate the first-mover arbitrage option associated with NAV-based redemptions.Furthermore, Apyx 2.0 will launch a new RFQ redemption system, allowing approved counterparties to provide redemption execution around the reserve through competitive bidding. The team also officially committed that if apxUSD deviates from NAV by more than 2% in the future, a public status update will be released within 2 hours.
Apyx temporarily withdraws most protocol liquidity, citing inability to trade STRC over the weekend
the dividend-backed stablecoin protocol Apyx announced it has temporarily withdrawn most of the protocol's own liquidity during the U.S. stock market closure to protect existing users and ensure fair treatment for all holders.Apyx stated that since STRC cannot be traded over the weekend, the protocol is unable to actively manage exposure or trade the underlying assets. Maintaining normal liquidity could cause a significant deviation between the secondary market price and the net asset value (NAV) of the underlying collateral, potentially benefiting or harming some users.Apyx said it plans to restore liquidity and resume normal market operations before the U.S. stock market reopens on June 8.

Strategy Preferred Stock STRC Falls Below $99, Cash Reserves Cover Only 6 Months of Dividends
According to CoinDesk, Strategy’s perpetual preferred stock STRC (Stretch) hit a low of $97.11 on Thursday before rebounding to $98.57—failing to sustain its $100 par value. STRC’s pressure stems primarily from Bitcoin’s retreat to around $73,000, compounded by the ex-dividend date effect. Recently, Strategy spent $1.5 billion repurchasing its zero-coupon convertible bonds maturing in 2029, causing its cash reserves to plunge from approximately $2.25 billion to $871 million. Against its annual preferred-stock dividend obligation of roughly $1.7 billion, the company’s current cash covers only about six months—far short of its previously stated target of 24 months’ coverage. Executive Chairman Michael Saylor stated that the company plans to raise funds via Bitcoin sales, equity issuances when MSTR’s share price exceeds its NAV by 1.22x, or further STRC issuances. Meanwhile, rival Strive Asset Management’s perpetual preferred stock SATA continues to trade at its $100 par value, offering an approximate 13% dividend yield. Strive also plans to introduce a daily dividend mechanism and has fully eliminated its debt. Over the past three months, Strive’s stock has risen roughly 110%, significantly outperforming both MSTR’s 12% gain and Bitcoin’s 8% increase.
