Market turbulence forced a reset across crypto-linked equities, but Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl indicated on March 26, 2026, that digital asset treasuries, or DATs, are regaining stability after months of pressure. The analysis points to structural adjustments that helped firms recover from steep valuation declines.
After many DATs fell to trading below the value of their crypto holdings in late 2025, companies introduced targeted changes to restore investor confidence and operational footing. Zach Pandl wrote:
“There are pros and cons to investing in DATs vs crypto ETPs. But the DATs have arguably been a stabilizing force this year, and we believe they will likely be a permanent feature of the crypto investing landscape.”
Strategy Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR), widely viewed as the bellwether for DATs due to its scale and influence on investor sentiment, played a central role by overhauling its capital structure. The company reduced reliance on convertible debt that had amplified downside exposure, while increasing preferred equity to stabilize financing conditions, and expanded its U.S. dollar reserves to strengthen liquidity during volatility. It also avoided potential exclusion from major benchmark indexes, a key factor in maintaining institutional demand and signaling durability for the broader DAT model. In parallel, Forward Industries used borrowed capital to repurchase shares, reinforcing confidence in valuation recovery. Strategy currently holds 762,099 BTC, valued at around $50.65 billion.
