What Comes After the First Wave of Digital Asset Treasuries?
Every financial innovation moves from imagination to arithmetic, and digital asset treasuries (DATs) are no exception.
The Boom & Bust in 12 months:
Listed DATs grew from 66 to 142 (+115%)
$140B flowed in, valuations hit 5× NAV
Now 80% trade below NAV (up from 35%)
Average multiple collapsed from 1.3× to 1.0×
This pattern is familiar.
Just like SPACs (2020-2021) and mining shells (2010-2013), the cycle repeats in three stages:
Stage 1: Oversupply Success draws copycats. Issuance outpaces demand.
Stage 2: Dilution Premiums compress, liquidity fragments. Too many wrappers, too little opportunity.
Stage 3: Capital Decay In public vehicles, idle capital decays 10-20% annually from costs alone.
What's next?
Cold, rational consolidation. Not collapse, but evolution.
