Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 4 findings
−27 of −30
  • Margin and earnings quality
    The software business still generates only about USD 0.5bn in revenue (unchanged since 2021), and operating cash flow is negative (−USD 20m TTM). The net result of −USD 31.4bn TTM is pure bitcoin price movement – there is no underlying earnings to carry the capital structure.
    −10
  • Quality of growth per share
    The share count rose 24.6% over a year (5.6% in the latest quarter alone); market value grew from USD 46bn to 63bn, while the price only went from 152 to USD 165. The growth is issuance, not value creation per share.
    −6
  • Capital allocation
    The holding was bought at an average price of about USD 66,000–75,000 per BTC, financed with preferred shares at 8–12% dividend and convertible loans; with bitcoin around cost price, the preferred coupons give a negative spread for common shareholders.
    −6
  • Moat
    Spot bitcoin ETFs (IBIT, FBTC) give the same exposure without debt and coupons, and several bitcoin treasury companies compete for the same capital; the mNAV premium has fallen from about 3x in 2024 to about 1.1x.
    −5

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 3 findings
−7 of −35
  • Price vs own history (mNAV)
    mNAV of approx. 1.1–1.2x is below the historical median (approx. 1.5–2x), but P/B has risen from 0.9 at the end of 2025 to 2.0.
    −1
  • Peers and alternative
    One still pays a premium over the bitcoin value after deducting USD 6.75bn of debt and USD 15.24bn of preferred shares, while an ETF trades at 1.0x NAV without coupon obligations.
    −3
  • Absolute price level
    No earnings or FCF to price: P/S 127, EV USD 67.5bn, FCF −USD 41m and earnings yield −50%.
    −3

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 4 findings
−26 of −35
  • Debt and preference shares
    USD 6.75bn in debt and USD 15.24bn in preferred shares (STRC 12%, STRF 10%, STRK 8%) require an estimated USD 1.5bn a year, but operations generate no cash; payments rest on a USD reserve of 4.8bn (about 2.8 years of cover) and bitcoin sales.
    −10
  • The financing model breaks
    STRC fell below USD 80 vs 100 at par, and in the week to 2 August 2026 Strategy sold 1,638 BTC at about USD 64,000 to pay preferred dividends and buy back STRC; bitcoin purchases are paused, and a framework allows the sale of up to 20,800 BTC.
    −7
  • Concentration and volatility
    Almost all assets are a single asset class; beta 3.57 and a price drop of 53% over 52 weeks. 8% of the shares are sold short.
    −6
  • Governance
    Michael Saylor controls the votes via class B shares with 10 votes per share; the strategy depends on one person, and minority shareholders have limited influence on issuance.

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Bitcoin treasury company (formerly MicroStrategy) does not fit the industry list – placed under finance; earnings are driven by the fair value of about 840,000 BTC, so P/E, PEG and forward P/E are meaningless; mNAV (about 1.1–1.2x) is taken from secondary sources and depends on the bitcoin price day by day; the price of USD 0 in the Nordnet data is a data error – stockanalysis shows USD 164.55; tax matters (CAMT) and accounting rules not investigated
