MicroStrategy. BMNR. SBET. They aren’t building software. They’re executing crypto treasury playbooks but now with ETH too. đŸ§” How these public companies are stacking digital assets as treasury reserves:
🔁 The model (BTC + ETH combo): 1. Raise capital (equity, debt, PIPEs) 2. Buy BTC or ETH 3. Hold and optionally stake on balance sheet 4. As crypto appreciates, company valuation rises 4. Use higher valuation to raise more capital Repeat rinse/cycle grows reserves
From Empire Podcast w/ Ben Forman: “These aren’t businesses. They’re crypto wrappers with recurring access to capital.” It’s not SaaS. It’s network-value treasury engineering.
💡 Why public investors care: ‱ Liquid exposure to BTC/ETH via brokerage ‱ No custody headaches ‱ Participates in staking + yield ‱ Wrapped in Nasdaq/NYSE tickers for IRAs, funds, etc. They’re building programmable reserves with market access convenience.
These aren’t traditional software companies. They’re onchain treasury protocols wrapped as public equities, fueled by digital assets and capital market loops. Crypto treasuries 2.0: ‱ Leverage digital assets ‱ Yield while holding ‱ Scale using repeat capital raises ‱ Build optionality into every balance sheet Public equity isn’t just owning crypto. It’s engineering it.
