How Mstr could have won 50k extra bitcoin with MVRV BTC strategy

Matt Crosby

Bitcoin Treasury companies have become one of the most important demand drivers in this cycle. A total of 86 publicly traded companies now have more than 1 million BTC on their balance. What began with Mstr (strategy) in 2020 has since spread across the corporate landscape, with new participants who apparently participate every week. But a closer look at their buying history reveals a surprising insight that many of these companies could keep significantly more bitcoin today if they had followed a simple, rules -based strategy for accumulation.

Mstr leads the current state of Bitcoin Treasury Holdings

Mstr (strategy) is still the clear leader among the company’s Bitcoin holders with almost 640,000 BTC. Across all the top public Bitcoin finance ministry, over 1 million BTC is now effectively locked away, a dynamic that permanently reduces fluent supply and strengthens Bitcoin’s monetary prize (provided they of course never sell!) While this has been a huge net for Bitcoin’s supply demand, the data shows that a large proportion of these purchases have taken place under Top.

Mstr’s Example: Purchase of the Top in Bitcoin Cycles

Take Mstrs (strategy) activity as an example. The company made some of its heaviest awards in late 2024, when Bitcoin rose over $ 70,000 after ETF approvals. This was far from unique as the wider treasury sector showed the same pattern of purchasing front load in euphoric phases.

Mstr Treasury buys clusters around the cycle tops rather than trough.

While it is understandable (capital is easiest to raise when prices rise and the mood is high), the result is that the Treasury companies often pay too much. In fact, Backtesting shows that waiting for even modest withdrawals could have saved companies 10-30% on average compared to their actual entry prices. Of course, no one has a crystal ball to predict price action, but at least not buying immediately after triple-digit percentage winnings in a few weeks would probably help!

A simple MVRV-Datadrated solution for Mstr and Treasuries

A straightforward adjustment could have made a massive difference: using the MVRV ratio as a filter. This approach is not complex. It does not try to make the exact bottom bottom, nor does it depend on subjective judgment. Instead, it uses a rolling MVRV permission limit to avoid allocating in the most overheated phases of bull markets.

Using MVRV-based signals, accumulation of BTC can be effectively timed.

By avoiding purchases when the MVRV ratio was in its top 20% of historical readings (a power of attorney for overestimation) and merely deploying this capital during cooler periods, Mstr (strategy) would have almost 685,000 BTC today alone, almost 50,000 BTC more than the currently owner.

At current prices, it’s over $ 5 billion in additional bitcoin. To put it in perspective, the “unanswered” Bitcoin corresponds to the overall lifespan of the other active Bitcoin Treasury companies (except Marathon Digital).

A simple MVRV-based filter would have given ~ 50,000 more BTC for MSTR (strategy).

Similar frames have been tested in other markets such as Altcoins, stocks and even S&P 500, and they consistently surpass average dollar costs. Strategic dollar cost average strikes emotional dollar costs on average virtually regardless of market conditions.

Implications for Mstr, Treasury and Individual Investors

For Treasury Companies, implementation of this model can mean billions in extra value over time. For individual investors, the same principle applies to simply avoiding the hunting of events in euphoric phases, and instead lets the market come to you.

The adoption of a more strategic DCA approach by avoiding the most overrated dates would have driven higher returns for Mstr and other investors.

Of course, we need to acknowledge the nuances. Companies are facing restrictions on raising capital, carrying out large block dealers without slipping and managing shareholder expectations. But even within these limits, a simple data -driven filter could significantly improve the results.

Conclusion: Mstr’s Way to Smarter Bitcoin -Accumulation

Bitcoin Treasury Companies have been a huge net -positive for the network. Their total 1 million BTC holdings reduce supply, increase money the multiplier effect and highlight the growing institutional adoption of Bitcoin. But the data shows that most of them could certainly feel better. A simple strategy to avoid purchases under overheated conditions would have the network Mstr (strategy) alone an additional 50,000 BTC worth more than $ 5 billion today.

For both companies and individuals, the message is the same: Discipline surpasses FOMO. Treasury accumulation has reshaped Bitcoin’s supply landscape, but the next development may be smarter accumulation strategies that maximize returns and limit the markets downward volatility without increasing the risk.
