The intent to have money stream
Mallers has nebulously claimed that Twenty One isn’t only a passive steadiness‑sheet commerce like the handfuls of different digital asset treasury shares, regardless of its market cap precisely equaling its treasury worth.

To this point, nevertheless, the corporate hasn’t reported any money stream in quarterly earnings.
Worse, its inventory worth has underperformed the S&P 500 by about 500 foundation factors yr thus far — a time interval that spans to earlier than the Cantor SPAC even merged with Twenty One.
In different phrases, even when somebody had pre-purchased shares within the public firm that took Twenty One public utilizing insider information about Tether’s deal, its half dozen billionaire backers, the help of Softbank, and the corporate’s numerous media appearances, they nonetheless would have made more cash simply shopping for a inventory market index.
Even barely underperforming the S&P 500 by insider buying and selling would have been the perfect case situation.
In actual fact, virtually each retail investor in Twenty One has misplaced cash. Because the deal was introduced on April 23, its inventory worth has solely spent a single buying and selling day at costs decrease than right now’s worth.
Each different investor, for 157 buying and selling days, has misplaced cash. From its peak in Could, the inventory has declined 80%.
