Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies can actually outperform just holding spot.

Sharplink's team has tracked this across multiple cycles - these treasury models aren't just passive holders, they're actively generating alpha through structured products, yield strategies, and treasury management.

The edge? While you're sitting on $BTC or $ETH doing nothing, DAT companies are:
- Deploying capital into high-conviction plays
- Running covered calls and basis trades
- Capturing funding rates and staking yields
- Leveraging balance sheet for strategic acquisitions

This matters especially in sideways markets where spot holders bleed time value. DAT models keep compounding.

Worth watching how companies like $MSTR, $COIN, and emerging treasury plays navigate 2025. The gap between passive holding and active treasury management is widening.
