https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/ethereum-treasury-stocks-better-buy-172342345.htmlEthereum Treasury Stocks 'Better Buy' Than ETH ETFs, Standard Chartered SaysCompanies that are buying ether (ETH) for their treasury strategy are a better buy for investors than ETH spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), said Standard Chartered analyst Geoff Kendrick.
The analyst noted that these firms are attracting attention not just for their holdings but also for their financial structure, which is starting to become attractive for investors.
“The NAV multiples (market cap divided by value of ETH held) have now also started to normalise for the ETH treasury companies,” said Kendrick, adding that this dynamic is making the "treasury companies now very investable for investors seeking access to ETH price appreciation."
Buying ETH for the balance sheet, following Michael Saylor's bitcoin (BTC) buying strategy, has taken off recently. Many publicly traded firms have jumped on board and seen their share prices surge initially, boosting their market cap and NAV multiples. Now, their NAV multiples are coming down from their initial peak.
Some of the top companies enjoying this market euphoria include BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) and SharpLink Gaming (SBET).
Among these companies, Kendrick highlighted SharpLink Gaming's (SBET) NAV multiple, which at its peak was around 2.50 and is now coming down to a more normalized level of near 1.0. This means its market cap is only slightly higher than the value of its ETH holdings.
