Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor (Danny Nelson, modified by CoinDesk)
What to know:
- Strategy (MSTR) stock has fallen for seven consecutive months.
- The company’s multiple to net asset value now stands at 1.09, allowing continued stock sales to fund bitcoin purchases.
- During the previous bear market, in 2022, Strategy was able to raise only $275 million, which it used to purchase roughly 10,000 bitcoin.
As February begins, Strategy (MSTR), the world’s largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin BTC$78,212.51, is already down 7% and on track for an eighth consecutive monthly decline.
The stock, currently trading near $141, is down roughly 75% from its November 2024 record high of around $540.

The bulk of the decline has occurred since July, with seven straight negative months. By end-2025, the stock had fallen 48% for the year, its second-worst annual performance on record. The worst year remains 2022, when shares declined 75%.
The bitcoin price, by comparison, has dropped around 40% from its October all time high. This puts the performance gap between MSTR and bitcoin at roughly 35%. In January, that spread briefly widened to 45%, matching a record last seen in 2021, according to checkonchain.
The company’s multiple to net asset value (mNAV), calculated by dividing enterprise value by its bitcoin reserves, remains above 1 at 1.09. This means Strategy is able to continue selling common stock through at-the-market offerings to buy bitcoin.
However, if the stock drops further, future bitcoin purchases are likely to be smaller. Should mNAV fall below 1, the company may be forced to pause purchases and wait for a rebound.
During the previous bear market, in 2022, Strategy was able to raise only $275 million, and used the proceeds to buy roughly 10,000 BTC.

Which Is Set To Become The Next 50x Gainer In 2025?
The post Which Is Set To Become The Next 50x Gainer In 2025? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 19 September 2025 | 21:10 Recent crypto market momentum has investors weighing the prospects of established tokens like DOGE and HBAR against rising challengers. DOGE trades close to $0.28, bolstered by the launch of the first U.S. Dogecoin ETF, while HBAR holds steady near $0.24 amid growing speculation around ETF inclusion and strong on-chain activity. Yet, much of the buzz has shifted to Layer Brett (LBRETT), now in presale at $0.0058 and already surpassing $3.8 million raised. With its blend of meme appeal, real utility, and high staking rewards, many investors see Layer Brett as the project with the clearest shot at becoming crypto’s next 50x gainer in 2025. Layer Brett – Is it the future? While DOGE and HBAR stabilize and flirt with resistance zones, Layer Brett is staking its claim as a potentially more aggressive play. With presale pricing at $0.0058 USD for $LBRETT and over $3.7 million USD raised so far, the project is constructing an Ethereum Layer 2 meme-utility token that emphasizes performance, speed, and rewards. Layer Brett’s narrative is not just hype. Its roadmap includes bridging solutions, staking from day one, and a community-driven model. These technical underpinnings give Layer Brett a sharper edge and help it stand out in the race for meme-utility tokens. If its execution aligns with its promise, it may offer more upside than DOGE or HBAR in the medium term. DOGE vs HBAR DOGE (Dogecoin) remains a foundational meme coin with one of the most active communities in crypto. Recent news shows DOGE has benefited from an ETF approval in the U.S., which has validated its institutional presence. Though DOGE continues to trade in a range near $0.25-$0.30, whales are reallocating portions of portfolios into meme-utility and presale tokens. Its upside is seen as more moderate compared to…
