ANECDOTE

Early DATs Showed Wild Price Swings

  • Allan Marshall describes early DATs trading at extreme premiums then collapsing; Nakamoto fell to $0.90 after high initial pricing.
  • He used those market moves to justify Upexi avoiding a crowded Bitcoin treasury market.
INSIGHT

Volume Concentrates Premiums

  • Dominant DATs will concentrate volume, making it hard for late entrants to compete.
  • MicroStrategy sets the practical ceiling for market premiums among Bitcoin treasuries.
ADVICE

Prioritize Revenue And No Early Debt

  • Use predictable, sustainable revenue (e.g., staking yield) to avoid forced sales of treasury assets.
  • Prefer equity-funded treasuries over heavy initial debt to stay solvent in downturns.
