In June 2026, Bitcoin broke below $60,000, the stock fell under its own Bitcoin value, and the loop began running the other way. Here is how the machine works, why it reverses, and whether Saylor is actually trapped. Summary Strategy’s mNAV fell to roughly 0.80, meaning its stock trades below the value of the Bitcoin it holds, which disables the premium-funded loop the company used to grow.
