BTC Impact Analysis
Strategy continues to execute its playbook with precision. At a 2.1x mNAV, every dollar raised through equity issuance purchases approximately $2.10 worth of BTC exposure for shareholders — making this meaningfully accretive. The 6.9% YTD BTC yield in under 8 weeks puts them well ahead of their stated 15% annual target. This is the standard other BTCTCs should be measured against.

Why This Communication Works
Strategy's 8-K filings have become the gold standard for Bitcoin treasury communications. Every acquisition disclosure includes the exact date range, average purchase price, total holdings, aggregate cost basis, and BTC yield metrics. This level of transparency gives investors everything they need to evaluate the accretive impact of each purchase.
Notice what they don't do: they don't bury the numbers in legal boilerplate or force investors to calculate the metrics themselves. The information architecture is designed for immediate comprehension.
The Accretion Math
At Strategy's current mNAV of ~2.1x, equity issuance is highly accretive. Here's why: when the market values each Bitcoin in your treasury at $2.10 on the dollar, selling equity and buying BTC at $1.00 on the dollar creates an instant arbitrage for existing shareholders. BTC per share increases even after accounting for dilution.
This is the fundamental mechanic that most retail investors still don't understand — and the one that IR teams at every Bitcoin treasury company should be explaining clearly, every quarter, with real numbers.
