Institutional Investors Are Buying Hyperliquid Strategies. Should You?
There's a lot more to their purchasing than a desire to own Hyperliquid itself.
Institutions are buying shares of Hyperliquid Strategies (NASDAQ: PURR), which invests in the Hyperliquid (CRYPTO: HYPE) token, leading to a 122% increase in holdings by financial institutions in just three months. BlackRock and State Street are among the largest investors. However, 11 institutions cut or exited their positions.
The increase in holdings came after Hyperliquid Strategies joined major indexes like S&P Global Broad Market, Russell 2000, and Russell 3000. This forced funds tracking these indexes to purchase the stock. While some new holders are likely accumulating market-making inventory, it's not clear if all new investors have strong conviction.
Hyperliquid Strategies holds 29.2 million Hyperliquid tokens worth $1.7 billion. Its stock's market value of $1.4 billion is less than the value of its token holdings, giving it a net asset value (mNAV) of 0.84. When a treasury company's mNAV is below 1, it means the market values the stock lower than the value of the assets it holds.
This could present a buying opportunity, but DATs like Hyperliquid Strategies may dilute shareholders through new issuance to raise capital and maintain the mNAV. Buying the underlying Hyperliquid token instead of the stock is suggested. Analysts at The Motley Fool did not recommend Hyperliquid Strategies, focusing instead on 10 other stocks with potential for high returns.
