Bloomberg Calls SpaceX Treasury Company Idea Ill-Timed After $500 Million DAT Trade Frenzy

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 26

Summary

  • Bloomberg argues a SpaceX treasury company concept has arrived too late, saying the optimal window was about a year ago when investors were rewarding asset-holding vehicles aggressively.
  • The critique centers on the digital asset treasury company boom: firms could buy roughly $500 million of crypto and see public valuations jump toward $1 billion.
  • That trade rested on US stock investors paying $2 or more for each $1 of underlying crypto, a premium that fueled a wave of similar structures.
  • The model spread beyond crypto into gold and even GameStop-linked treasury concepts, which Bloomberg cites as context for why a SpaceX version now looks poorly timed.
