The total stash was accumulated for roughly $47.35B at an average price of about $73,983. But with $BTC now trading at $114K , Strategy is sitting on over $25B in unrealized 6 of the humongous profit, Strategy’s large $BTC buys receive 7 short-seller Jim Chano, for 8 slammed the company’s valuation by calling it ‘financial gibberish.’ Not helping matters, Chanos argues that Strategy’s market cap shouldn’t exceed the value of its $BTC holdings. Yet, in June, the company’s $108B valuation was around 1.74x its $62.27B worth of $BTC – a cap critics say creates an arbitrage 9 Schiff, chief economist at Euro Pacific Capital, also criticizes 10 an X post last week, he called the firm’s approach ‘harebrained’ and noted that Strategy ($MSTR) is down 45% from its November 2024 peak.

Solana’s block time average is much higher at 0.39 seconds compared to Bitcoin’s 9 minutes and 35 23 time it takes for a transaction to be fully confirmed on Solana is also just 12.8 seconds, nearly 100% shorter than Bitcoin’s one 24 it’s not just the utilization of the SVM that’ll make the L2 more scalable – the addition of a Canonical Bridge will help, 25 bridge will enable the movement of wrapped versions of $BTC across the Bitcoin mainnet and the L2 26 doing so, $BTC can be used across DeFi, dApps, NFTs, and other Web3 ecosystems at a fast 27 only will it unlock new use cases previously unseen on Bitcoin, but it will also bring greater liquidity.
