Retail investors have lost an estimated $17 billion in an attempt to gain Bitcoin exposure through digital asset treasury firms such as Metaplanet and Michael Saylor’s Strategy, according to a new research report. These losses came from an overpricing of share premiums that allowed these companies to sell stock for far above the value of their actual crypto holdings.
