Bitcoin's On-Chain Valuation: A New Framework for Institutional Investors
The institutional case for investing in Bitcoin involves looking beyond traditional metrics like P/E ratios and focusing on its on-chain valuation.
Bitcoin's computational security is a key pillar, with miners continuing to deploy capital into highly efficient ASIC fleets despite the halving of block rewards. The network's hash rate remains at all-time highs, and the Puell Multiple, which measures miner revenues as a ratio of current to 365-day moving average, has compressed below 1.0.
This indicates that current miner revenues are trailing their one-year average, signaling that the market is trading near the marginal cost of production for mid-tier operators. This dynamic establishes a structural floor under spot prices, reducing sell pressure on the market.
