If $MSTR and $ASST can generate meaningful cash flow that isn't correlated with Bitcoin, they can move to a whole new level.
Right now, both are valued almost entirely on mNAV. The market treats them as a premium or discount to the Bitcoin they hold and that premium swings with sentiment.
Earnings can change that. A company with real, recurring cash flow gets valued on those earnings as well as assets. That's how Berkshire Hathaway is valued and it's why the best financial companies trade at large multiples for decades.
Both are already heading in that direction. Strategy is building out as a Bitcoin bank. Strive is evaluating banking, brokerage and reinsurance.
Moving away from pure mNAV valuations would be better for the companies and shareholders alike. It means steadier premiums and far greater upside in the long run.
A growing Bitcoin balance sheet plus uncorrelated cash flow is the endgame.
