James Chanos described Strategy and Bitcoin as an "$80 billion actionable spread" on Aug. 18, reviving debate over the valuation of Michael Saylor's Bitcoin treasury company. The claim requires context: Strategy no longer holds the 847,363 Bitcoin cited in some earlier reports, with recent disclosures showing 840,447 Bitcoin after sales in July and August. At about $64,188 per Bitcoin on Tuesday morning, those holdings were worth roughly $53.95 billion, while MSTR's market capitalization was about $34.4 billion and the shares traded near $97.68 after a gain of almost 5%. That comparison does not represent a direct arbitrage profit because it excludes debt, preferred stock, cash, software operations, taxes and the costs of maintaining a hedged position. Strategy's own dashboard placed its modified net asset value, or mNAV, near 1.04 on Tuesday, implying only a narrow enterprise value premium under the company's methodology rather than the much wider premium that supported Chanos's earlier trade. Chanos did not publish a calculation showing how he reached the "$80 billion actionable spread," and his latest statement did not confirm that he had reopened the trade. Strategy disclosed in a June 29 SEC filing that it held 847,363 Bitcoin at the end of June, acquired for $64.1 billion at an average price of $75,651 per coin. After subsequent sales, including 1,690 Bitcoin sold during the week ending Aug. 9 to fund preferred share repurchases, the balance fell to 840,447 Bitcoin with an aggregate acquisition cost of about $63.36 billion and an average cost of $75,385 per coin. At Tuesday's Bitcoin price, the position was roughly $9.4 billion below purchase cost on an unrealized basis. The company has also issued STRC, STRF, STRD and STRK preferred shares, with dividend rates ranging from 8% to 12% subject to their terms, and maintains a dollar reserve to meet preferred dividends and interest obligations. Related coverage said that reserve reached $4.65 billion after further common stock sales. Strategy's board has authorized up to $1.25 billion of additional Bitcoin sales to help fund that reserve, as well as separate $1 billion repurchase programs for preferred securities and MSTR common stock. Chanos previously said he closed his short-MSTR, long-Bitcoin trade on Nov. 7, 2025 after the spread compressed and the position gained more than 50%. Future SEC filings will show whether Strategy continues selling Bitcoin, issuing MSTR shares or repurchasing preferred securities, all of which could affect whether the stock trades at a premium or discount to adjusted asset value.
