Balance Sheet

Buyable BTC

Estimated BTC a company could buy with its current cash balance at today’s price.

What the term means

Buyable BTC estimates how many additional bitcoins a company could purchase immediately using unrestricted cash at today’s spot price. The formula is:

Cash & Cash Equivalents ÷ Current BTC Price (USD)

Dashboards present the result as a whole or fractional BTC figure (for example, “+842 BTC” or “0.008 BTC per share”). Cash inputs typically come from the latest quarterly filing or 8-K update; the price feed updates in real time so the metric reflects current dry powder.

Why the term matters for Bitcoin treasury companies

Instant read on deployment velocity

Large Buyable BTC balances mean management is deliberately holding firepower for dips or freshly raised capital. Near-zero Buyable BTC signals a “run hot” approach where dollars are converted to Bitcoin as soon as they arrive.

Accretion math at a glance

Investors divide Buyable BTC by basic shares outstanding to gauge potential BTC-per-share uplift. If fully deploying the cash would add 5–20% to BTC-per-share, the stock usually reacts immediately—especially when premiums are high.

Signal of capital-raising readiness

Spikes in Buyable BTC after ATM filings, bond shelves, or new loan facilities tell the market the next BTC purchase is pre-funded. Premiums often drift higher ahead of the announcement as investors front-run the deployment.

Conviction and alignment gauge

Persistently high cash with no deployment is a yellow flag that management lacks conviction or is focused on non-Bitcoin priorities. Elite stackers let Buyable BTC rise only briefly after raises before slamming it into Bitcoin.

Dip-buying firepower

When BTC price falls, Buyable BTC balloons in absolute terms. Treasuries with big cash buffers become feared dip buyers who absorb sell pressure and widen their lead, reinforcing premium support even in corrections.

Takeover and distress protection

Companies trading below 1× mNAV with zero Buyable BTC are easy targets. Maintaining even 50–200 BTC of ready cash gives the board options to defend against raiders or deploy defensively.

Options and gamma catalyst

Surprise increases in Buyable BTC—say from a newly secured facility—can trigger call buying as traders front-run the inevitable BTC purchase. Gamma squeezes then amplify upside once deployment hits the tape.

Bottom line

Buyable BTC is the loaded gun on the balance sheet. High numbers mean the next leg of BTC-per-share growth is already funded; low numbers prove the company is operating lean and committed. Watch it closely—idle cash is wasted opportunity in a fixed-supply race.

How BitcoinQuant incorporates it

We recompute Buyable BTC whenever cash disclosures or price feeds update—Cash balance from the latest quarterly report ÷ current BTC price (BTC Price USD). The tracker shows company-level totals, per-share equivalents, and flags large swings so investors can anticipate deployment announcements.
