Markets
What to know:
- B. Riley, the harbinger of financial whimsy, declares corporate crypto activity as subdued as a Dostoevsky protagonist at a party. Yet, capital flows, like a sudden burst of laughter in a funeral, rebound amidst U.S.-China trade talks. 🥳
- BitMine Immersion, the enfant terrible of digital asset treasury companies, flaunts its audacity by adding $300 million in ether. Because, why not? 💰
- Solana’s spot ETF launches in Hong Kong and the U.S. attract $800 million in first-day inflows. Institutional appeal? Or just another crypto carnival? 🎪
Ah, the corporate digital asset activity-muted, like a monk in a library, week over week. The fallout from recent crypto deleveraging has left the market as somber as Raskolnikov after a murder. Yet, B. Riley, ever the optimist, notes that capital flows are normalizing, thanks to the U.S.-China trade talks. Progress, they say, is a slow dance with the devil. 💃
Earlier this month, B. Riley initiated coverage of digital asset treasury companies (DATCOs) with the enthusiasm of a man discovering a hidden ruble in his coat pocket. BitMine Immersion (BMNR), SharpLink Gaming (SBET), FG Nexus (FGNX), Kindly MD (NAKA), and Sequans Communications (SQNS) all received buy ratings. Because, in the world of crypto, why not gamble? 🎲
“Despite market weakness, DATCOs continued accumulating crypto,” analysts Fedor Shabalin and Nick Giles wrote, their pens dripping with the ink of irony. BitMine Immersion, the prodigal son, added roughly $300 million in ether, lifting its concentration ratio to 10.6 ETH per 1,000 shares. Excess? Or just the crypto way? 🤑
Across the 25 companies tracked by B. Riley, the median market net asset value (NAV) improved to 1.1x from 1.0x. Progress, they say, is a snail’s race. 🐌
B. Riley expects firms trading below NAV to start stock buybacks, a strategy as old as greed itself. ETHZilla’s (ETHZ) success in monetizing crypto holdings to repurchase shares is cited as the shining example. Because, who doesn’t love a good redemption story? 🦖
Sequans Communications, trading at a steep 0.7x NAV, is the underdog of this tale, with third-quarter results due Nov. 4. Will it rise like a phoenix, or crumble like a stale bread? Only time will tell. ⏳
Solana’s spot ETF debut in Hong Kong and the U.S. drew $800 million in first-day inflows, reinforcing its status as a tier-one asset. Bitcoin and ether, watch your backs-there’s a new kid on the block. Or is it just another flash in the pan? 🌟
B. Riley continues to view BitMine Immersion as the best-positioned name within its DATCO coverage, while SharpLink Gaming remains as quiet as a graveyard. No major catalysts? Or just biding its time? 🦉
