PIPEs Not Best Way For Bitcoin Treasury Company: CryptoQuant
Report links sharp drawdowns in firms like NAKA to PIPE unlocks, with more downside expected in coming months.
Bitcoin treasury firms that raised capital through private investment in public equity (PIPE) deals are facing increasing scrutiny as stock prices tumble amid early investor exits. According to a new report from CryptoQuant, several companies have seen drawdowns of 42% to 97%, driven largely by anticipated or actual PIPE unlocks.
PIPE agreements allow investors to purchase shares at discounted prices, typically before a public listing or major event, and then sell when restrictions are lifted. While this method provides quick capital, it often exposes companies to aggressive profit-taking by short-term holders. The moment these shares become tradable, markets often react violently.
