MicroStrategy (MSTR) holds the largest corporate Bitcoin treasury at ~250,000+ BTC (varies with Michael Saylor's ongoing accumulation). MSTR trades at a materially variable premium or discount to its underlying BTC holdings — the "mNAV" premium. During bull markets MSTR has traded at 100%+ premiums to its BTC NAV; during compression phases it can trade at smaller premiums or even discounts. The comparison is the canonical "leveraged BTC equity" trade: MSTR provides Bitcoin exposure with additional leverage from its convertible debt issuance, at the cost of premium/discount volatility and corporate execution risk. Other BTC treasury companies (Metaplanet, Semler Scientific) have emerged as additional plays on the theme. Track MSTR premium to BTC NAV as a sentiment indicator — high premium = retail equity-side euphoria; compressed premium = saner institutional pricing.
