Pantera Capital Quietly Channels $300M Into Crypto Treasury Giants
In a recent announcement, Pantera Capital has revealed that it has invested over $300 million in digital asset treasury companies across multiple countries. This significant investment serves as a testament to the growing potential of digital assets and their role in shaping the future of finance.
According to the company’s latest blockchain letter, this strategic move is focused on the belief that digital asset treasuries (DATs) can outperform direct token holdings or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) over time. The firm claims that DATs can generate yield by growing net asset value per share, thereby resulting in more underlying token ownership.
As part of its DAT portfolio, Pantera Capital has invested in eight major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB, Toncoin, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Ethena. The firm is further expanding its reach by investing in public companies based in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Israel.
One notable example of this thesis is BitMine Immersion, a company that has recently launched an Ethereum treasury strategy and has become the largest ETH treasury worldwide as of August 10. This achievement was reportedly fueled by a massive $4.9 billion valuation, with its share price rising from $4.27 at the end of June to $51 within just over a month.
According to Pantera Capital, approximately 60% of this growth is attributed to Ethereum-per-share growth, 20% is linked to Ethereum’s price rally, and 20% is ascribed to a higher net asset value (NAV) multiple. The firm emphasized that valuation premiums occur when investors believe a DAT can sustainably grow NAV per share.
In essence, the company believes its DAT strategy combines yield generation with token appreciation potential, allowing it to target firms capable of consistent NAV growth.
This significant investment by Pantera Capital underscores the potential for digital assets in shaping the financial landscape and highlights the importance of understanding this emerging market.
