The post New ‘Days to Cover’ Metric Reveals Which Bitcoin Companies Are Truly Stacking appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
A new metric called ‘Days to Cover’ is gaining rapid traction among Bitcoin investors, offering a fresh way to evaluate companies with large BTC holdings.
Introduced by Blockstream CEO Adam Back, this powerful formula shows how long it would take for a company to earn its market valuation in Bitcoin terms—based on its current BTC accumulation rate.
As the crypto sector matures, ‘Days to Cover’ is emerging as a key tool to distinguish real Bitcoin builders from hype-driven branders.
The ‘Days to Cover’ metric is calculated using the formula:
Days to Cover = ln(mNAV) / ln(1 + Daily BTC Yield)
Here’s what it means:
In simple terms, this metric shows how long it would take for a company to earn its market cap in Bitcoin—based on its current stacking pace.
MicroStrategist, a leading BTC analysis platform, applied this metric to the top BTC-holding public companies. Here’s what they found:
| Company | mNAV | Daily BTC Yield | Days to Cover |
| MetaPlanet | 5.08 | 1.49% | 110 days |
| MicroStrategy (MSTR) | 2.1 | 0.12% | 626 days |
| The Blockchain Group (ALTBG) | 9.4 | 1.48% | 152 days |
| Semler Scientific | 1.5 | 0.33% | 114 days |
Companies like MetaPlanet and ALTBG are stacking Bitcoin aggressively—yielding over 1.4% daily.
Meanwhile, MicroStrategy, despite its massive holdings of 576,230 BTC, accumulates at a more conservative pace but remains the most institutionally trusted BTC stock.
