"The bitcoin treasury company sphere is coming around to a similar observation: Go big or go home, even when the bitcoin price falls and makes life difficult for the BTCTCs. To make a meaningful dent in the race to most corporate bitcoin -slash- carve out a nice chunk of this future financial world we think Bitcoinizing finance will produce, you need a lot of bitcoin: Even Nakamoto's $679-million purchase only got them some 5,000 BTC."
"Buffett's problem is that in the supersized class, most things are efficiently priced and so you can't readily outperform by acquiring businesses there. The bitcoin treasury scene isn't very efficient (yet?). Why a pot of bitcoin listed on a stock exchange trades at anything other than its bitcoin market value makes little sense to me (yes, yes, I get it: discounted future banking opportunities, and ability to keep financially engineer yourself into a larger pile). Thus, our beloved BTCTCs have the same problem Buffett has."
A massive corporate cash balance functions like an "elephant gun" because only extremely large acquisitions can meaningfully move a vast portfolio. Bitcoin treasury companies must assemble very large bitcoin reserves to materially influence market position or secure a significant role in Bitcoin-based financial infrastructure. Even multi-hundred-million-dollar purchases can yield relatively modest BTC allocations. Publicly listed bitcoin holdings often trade at valuations disconnected from spot bitcoin, creating strategic arbitrage and competitive pressures. These pricing distortions and the need for supersized acquisitions drive consolidation, opportunistic transactions, and difficult timing decisions for bitcoin treasury firms.
