According to @MilkRoadDaily, most new crypto inflows are institutional rather than retail, pushing capital into public-market proxies like BTC spot ETFs, MicroStrategy MSTR, and Coinbase COIN due to frictions moving capital on-chain (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 10, 2025). According to @MilkRoadDaily, this institutional preference helps explain why BTC ETFs, MSTR, and COIN have recently outperformed, making ETF net flows and equity beta to BTC key trading indicators (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 10, 2025). According to @MilkRoadDaily, ETH treasury companies could be the next focus as institutions seek scalable exposure, implying potential rotation toward equities with ETH on balance sheets when execution rails improve (source: @MilkRoadDaily on X, Aug 10, 2025).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, ETH treasury companies have become the leading focus for crypto traders, overtaking memecoins in popularity. While many investors traditionally rank these companies by the sheer amount of ETH they hold, @MilkRoadDaily emphasizes that a more sophisticated trading strategy involves ranking them by their premium, calculated as Market Cap divided by ETH treasury value. This approach highlights which companies, like $BTCS, are trading at a premium relative to their underlying ETH reserves, offering traders new angles for identifying value and potential arbitrage opportunities in the crypto market (source: @MilkRoadDaily).

According to @MilkRoadDaily, MicroStrategy is not only holding BTC but is actively monetizing its Bitcoin position through public markets. Investors are paying a premium to gain exposure to MicroStrategy due to Michael Saylor’s execution, access, and scale. This trend is now influencing new companies with ETH treasuries, which are structuring their crypto exposure to attract similar investor interest and market premiums (source: @MilkRoadDaily).
