Market Slide Hits Crypto Treasuries as Evernorth’s XRP Bet Shows $78 Million Paper Loss

Falling token prices are compressing valuations to reveal the fragility of crypto‑first treasury models.

Overview

  • Evernorth’s XRP position of roughly 388.7 million tokens now shows about $79 million in unrealized losses just weeks after its SPAC-backed accumulation, according to CryptoQuant.
  • Bitcoin’s pullback, including a brief dip below $100,000, has pressured corporate balance sheets and driven Strategy’s share price down about 53% from its peak even as it retains paper gains on BTC bought near $74,000 on average.
  • BitMine, the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, faces approximately $2.1 billion in unrealized losses after ETH fell more than 22% over the past month.
  • Metaplanet holds 30,823 BTC at an average cost near $106,000, leaving more than $120 million in paper losses and triggering a share buyback after an 80% stock slide from its high.
  • Analysts caution that digital‑asset treasury stocks could see a shakeout as market net asset values compress, with reports citing roughly $17 billion in retail investor losses tied to the sector.
