According to @mcuban, he agreed to a Shark Tank deal with Blue Apron but backed out when the company attempted to change the terms (source: Mark Cuban on X, Sep 20, 2025). According to @mcuban, he said this context relates to an Axios report dated 2021-09-15 and claimed the timing was the day after Ballmer invested $50 million (source: Mark Cuban on X, Sep 20, 2025). According to Axios, Blue Apron’s co-founder Matthew Salzberg agreed to step aside, invested $3 million personally, and ceded control by converting supervoting shares to single-vote shares, while investor Joseph Sanberg committed up to $75 million to support a turnaround (source: Axios, Sep 15, 2021). According to Axios, Blue Apron shares traded below $4 earlier that week versus an adjusted IPO price of $150 after a 1-for-15 reverse split in 2019, underscoring severe equity value erosion at the time (source: Axios, Sep 15, 2021). According to Axios, revenue declined 48% from its 2017 peak, the company held $51 million in cash and $27 million in debt as of June 30, 2021, and burned $14 million of cash in the first half of that year, flagging liquidity and dilution risks for equity holders (source: Axios, Sep 15, 2021). According to the IMF and Federal Reserve research, traders monitoring small-cap equity stress like APRN’s historical case often track broader risk sentiment for crypto because equity–crypto correlations rose markedly after 2020 (source: IMF Global Financial Stability Note, Jan 2022; Federal Reserve FEDS Notes, 2022).

According to @adriannewman21, market confidence in the mNAV narrative is being questioned as MSTR and SBET issue equity and underperform their underlying assets, raising doubt about the treasury-company approach to crypto exposure (source: @adriannewman21). According to @adriannewman21, this dilution-driven underperformance challenges the appeal of equity-based crypto proxies and may shift focus to tracking mNAV premiums/discounts versus underlying and the pace of new share issuance (source: @adriannewman21). According to @adriannewman21, traders are reacting to widening performance gaps relative to underlying assets, which can compress valuation multiples for treasury companies and impact BTC proxy trades that rely on tight mNAV alignment (source: @adriannewman21).
