Evernorth Losses Spotlight Digital Asset Treasury Risks

2025/11/09 10:15

The month-long slide in crypto prices hasn’t just hit major assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) — it’s also dealing heavy losses to digital asset treasury companies that built their business models around accumulating crypto on their balance sheets.

That’s one of the key takeaways from a recent social media analysis by onchain data company CryptoQuant, which cited XRP-focused treasury company Evernorth as a prime example of the risks in this sector.

Evernorth has reportedly seen unrealized losses of about $78 million on its XRP position, mere weeks after acquiring the asset. 

The pullback has also battered shares of Strategy (MSTR), the original Bitcoin treasury play. The company’s stock has dropped by more than 26% over the past month, as Bitcoin’s price has slumped, according to Google Finance data. CryptoQuant noted a 53% drop in MSTR shares from their all-time high. 

However, Strategy still holds a sizable unrealized gain on its Bitcoin reserves, with an average cost basis of roughly $74,000 per BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET.

Digital asset treasury companies: Echoes of the dot-com bubble

Digital asset treasury companies, or DATs, have come under mounting valuation pressure in recent months, with analysts cautioning that their market worth is increasingly tied to the performance of their underlying crypto holdings.

Some analysts, including those at venture capital firm Breed, argue that only the strongest players will endure, noting that Bitcoin-focused treasuries may be best positioned to avoid a potential “death spiral.” The risk, they say, stems from a collapse in the companies’ market net asset value (mNAV) — a metric comparing enterprise value to the market value of their cryptocurrency investments.

Others have compared the rise of digital asset treasury companies to the dot-com boom and bust of the early 2000s, a period driven by long-term visionaries and innovators, as well as opportunists chasing quick gains.

Ray Youssef, founder of peer-to-peer lending platform NoOnes, predicted that most digital asset treasuries will ultimately fade out or collapse as market realities set in.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
