Samson Mow says bitcoin treasury firms like Strategy are undervalued
In a Bitcoin Magazine video, JAN3 CEO Samson Mow argued that many bitcoin treasury companies, especially Strategy (MSTR), are "massively undervalued" and act as bitcoin's buyer of last resort, which he said creates a self-reinforcing cycle that should push the price higher over time. He also said the best time to launch a treasury company or bitcoin bond is when the price is low, according to the publisher's write-up.
Only one publisher so far. Another independent outlet or an official source would raise it.
