2. Investment Thesis – One-page tear-sheet
Why now?
- ETF supply-absorption – July net inflows €3.1 bn (€2.2 bn in two days) escalated institutional demand, tightening free float. (Reuters)
- Scarcity re-priced after Apr-24 Halving – New supply < 1 % vs gold 1.4 %, compressing stock-to-flow gap.
- Macro rotation – EU & US tariff cycle plus softer USD lift real-asset bids; BTC now shows 0.25 beta to gold, –0.05 beta to S&P 500 (12-m correlation). Urban-mass digital store-of-value; initiate at Buy.
3. Investment Positives (rank-ordered)
| Driver | Quant evidence | Impact pathway |
|---|---|---|
| Institutionalisation flywheel | Spot-ETF AUM €74 bn, up 68 % YTD; July flows €3.4 bn (Reuters) | Lower custody friction → new capital cohorts → price support |
| Network activity breadth | Daily tx 361 k (+12 % y/y); addresses >0.1 BTC at ATH (DATA NEEDED – Glassnode Studio) | Fee market depth –> miner solvency & security budget |
| Security moat | Hash-rate 941 EH/s (+29 % y/y) (YCharts) | Higher attack-cost multiples improve perceived reserve asset quality |
| Post-Halving supply squeeze | Issuance 0.82 % vs prior 1.7 % | Stock-to-flow > 125; historically adds 2–3 σ to price within 18 mths |
| Improving fee economics | Miner rev/day $56.7 m (+40 % y/y) (YCharts) | Keeps hash-rate climbing without dilutive subsidies |
| Regulatory clarity in major blocs | US House “Crypto Week” bills advance; MiCA in EU live | Lowers terminal discount rate applied by traditional investors |
4. Competitive / Peer Analysis
| Asset | Mkt-cap (EUR bn) | 30-d vol. | YTD ret. | Issuance | Notes |

5. Estimates & Operating Assumptions (calendar-year)
| € k per BTC | 2025E | 2026E | 2027E | 2028E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avg. price | 112 | 120 | 145 | 175 |
| YoY % | — | +7 | +21 | +21 |
| Network KPIs | ||||
| Hash-rate (EH/s) | 940 | 1,050 | 1,240 | 1,430 |
| Daily tx (‘000) | 355 | 410 | 490 | 600 |
| Miner rev (€ bn) | 19 | 21 | 24 | 28 |
Driver assumptions
- Hash-rate grows inline with ASIC efficiency gains (15 % p.a.) and reinvest ratio 65 %.
- Daily transactions +12 % CAGR as L2 adoption enables lower fees.
- Fee share of miner revenue rises from 8 % (2025E) to 20 % (2028E).
(Data gaps: address cohorts, Lightning payment count – suggest Glassnode & Amboss for fills.)
6. Valuation
Primary method: Price / Network Revenue (P/NR)
| Metric | Spot | 2026E | Peer median (crypto) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market cap (€ bn) | 2,010 | 2,380 | — |
| Network rev. (€ bn) | 19 | 21 | — |
| P/NR (x) | 106× | 113× | 135× (ETH, SOL median) |
Target derivation
- Fair P/NR assumed 120× in 12 m, midpoint of historical 90–150× post-Halving range.
- Apply to F-26E revenue €22 bn → equity value €2.64 tn → price €135 k.
Cross-check: Implied forward “price-to-hash-rate” €142 / EH/s vs peer bucket median €165 / EH/s (ETH = €180, Kaspa = €140).
7. Key Risks (probability × impact ordered)
- Regulatory downside (Med-High) – Adverse EU/US AML rules could limit fiat ramps.
- ETF outflows (Med-High) – Reversal of July inflows (€3.4 bn) would unlock latent supply. (Reuters)
- Proof-of-Work ESG backlash (Med-Med) – Energy mix still ≈ 52 % renewables (DATA NEEDED – CCAF update).
- Protocol bug / consensus split (Low-High) – Historical precedent 2013.
- Macro hard-landing (Low-Med) – Liquidity contraction raises opportunity cost of holding zero-yield assets.
