Donald Trump announced that he would impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese products starting Nov. 1, in strong retaliation against China’s decision to restrict exports of rare earth materials essential for high-tech manufacturing. Markets reacted sharply to the announcement, with the S&P 500 index falling 2.7% from the previous day. The news triggered widespread volatility across global equities, leading crypto-related stocks to post steep declines as investor risk appetite weakened. Crypto Stocks Lead Double-Digit Market Sell-Off The renewed trade tensions between the US and China sparked a broad market sell-off that directly hit crypto-related stocks. As of Friday’s market close in New York, leading digital-asset companies saw sharp declines across the board. Global cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN) closed at $357.01, down 7.75% from the previous close of $387. The stock opened at $387.66 and fell as low as $351.63 during the session, reflecting investors’ growing risk aversion. BLSH stock performance over the past day / Source: Yahoo Finance Crypto financial-services firm Bullish (BLSH) also posted steep losses, dropping 9.42% to $60.37 from the prior close of $66.65. The stock briefly touched $68 earlier in the day but fell to $60.25 amid broader market weakness. Japan-based Bitcoin treasury company Metaplanet (MTPLF) ended 2.25% lower at $3.48, compared with the previous close of $3.56. Although it rose to $3.65 intraday, the gains were short-lived as the stock turned lower later in the session. Bitcoin mining firm MARA Holdings, Inc. (MARA) suffered one of the steepest declines, finishing down 7.67% at $18.65. The stock plunged sharply around 11 am after an early rebound attempt and continued to weaken in after-hours trading, falling another 1.72% to $18.33, indicating lingering investor anxiety.

The stock closed at $304.79 on the same day, down 4.84% from the previous day’s $320.29. During the session, it fluctuated between a high of $323.43 and a low of $303.57, showing high volatility. More importantly, the focus has shifted beyond the short-term stock decline to the deepening concern over the company’s fundamental valuation metrics. Analysts reported that the company’s multiple-to-net asset value (mNAV) has dropped below 1.180, marking its lowest level in nearly two years (19 months). Strategy’s mNAV Flow / Source: saylortracker.com Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, warned that maintaining an mNAV above 1.0 is essential for digital-asset treasury (DAT) companies to expand their holdings. Values below that threshold, he said, indicate weakened balance sheets and rising consolidation pressure across the industry. Strategy and similar firms are also facing growing pressure from PIPE (Private Investment in Public Equity) financing structures used to fund their Bitcoin acquisitions. According to a CryptoQuant report last month, Bitcoin treasury stocks tend to converge toward their discounted PIPE issuance prices. This pattern has left some early investors facing losses of up to 55%. Publicly Traded Bitcoin Treasury Companies / Source:bitcointreasuries.net Strategy currently holds about $78 billion worth of BTC, while its market capitalization stands at $94 billion, implying a $16 billion premium. However, given that the company’s total profit over the past 12 months was under $350 million, most analysts view this premium as reflecting investor optimism tied to founder Michael Saylor’s efforts to promote Bitcoin-backed debt and investment products.
