Everything AVAX DATs

A digital-asset treasury is a listed company whose main asset is a cryptocurrency. Avalanche has two, and neither has ever disclosed a wallet address. The front carries the latest; the primer explains the machine; head-to-head puts both companies on one axis; then a section on each.

Head to head · The discount

A dollar of AVAX for fifteen cents

Every dot is a public company whose main business is holding a crypto asset. At 1.00 the stock is worth the same as its tokens. Strategy, the original, trades at 0.69; the two AVAX vehicles trade at 0.13 and 0.25. On a consistent basis AVX’s discount is 2.7× deeper than Strategy’s and 4.0× deeper than BitMine’s. These figures are the dated snapshots; live values load when available.

Both AVAX treasuries trade at the deepest discount of any peer, and the ranking moves with the market

Market cap ÷ value of tokens held (mNAV on an equity basis, so debt and non-crypto assets are ignored). One dot per company; 1.00× means the market prices the stock at the value of its tokens; the axis starts at zero. Live: token prices stream in (Coinbase, checked against Chainlink on-chain), Nasdaq quotes refresh every minute the market is open, and the dots slide and re-sort; a row marked snapshot is waiting on a feed.

With debt included (enterprise basis), AVAT is 0.36× and AVX 0.34×. Peer rows use each company’s latest filed holdings and economic share count (dates in the ranking’s source line); the AVAX rows use the same inputs as every other card on the site. Per-company detail: AVAT · AVX.

The SPAC structure destroyed the premium

AVAT raised $675M. Before the ticker traded, 99.3% of the SPAC trust, the cash held for shareholders until the merger closes, was redeemed, leaving $1.6M. One post counted it as “$675 million in / $19.8 million left / 3 weeks”. The attempt to compress Strategy's multi-year flywheel into a SPAC failed on arrival.

The Foundation sold to insiders at a discount

AVAT’s own prospectus puts the terms in writing: the Avalanche Foundation sold it $200M of AVAX, measured before the discount, for $50M in cash and USDC plus up to 3M shares valued at $30M. That is a 60% discount, on tokens that unlock over time. Critics called the vehicles exit ramps for discounted tokens rather than new demand.

The underlying collapsed too

AVAT paid about $265M for tokens worth roughly $106M at the scan date. That is a 2.5x asset drawdown, per its own filed cost basis, stacked under the equity discount. AVAX traded near multi-year lows.

Below NAV, buybacks beat buying AVAX

When the stock trades at a fraction of NAV, the rational use of cash is buying back shares instead of accumulating tokens. That freezes the growth case that justified a premium in the first place. AVX ran a $40M buyback, and on 26 Aug 2026 AVAT's board approved a $10M repurchase program of its own — announced in the same release that restates the strategy as accumulating AVAX.

Head to head · The insiders

Every disclosed insider trade, one axis

One time axis, two lanes. AVX brings years of history from its life as AgriForce; AVAT appears only at the far right, when it listed. Acquisitions are drawn above each line and disposals below. The exit at $0.15 and the 3.8 million options struck at $0.54 are the two trades that define them.

Between them, insiders have bought just 5,500 shares for cash; the rest is a CEO's exit at about $0.15 and 3.8m options struck at $0.54

The insider transactions disclosed by AVX and AVAT on SEC Forms 3/4/5, Jul 2023–Jul 2026, as compiled for this investigation. One circle per transaction (the 2023 sale is a former CEO's total across dozens of small lots). Circle area equals the number of shares, drawn with no minimum size, so the two cash buys are barely visible; same-day transactions stack in a column. Circles above a company's line are shares acquired, outlined for a grant or an option award and solid for an open-market buy; circles below the line are shares sold. AVAT's two circles are stock options (exercise price $0.54, granted 12 Jul 2026), sized by the shares they cover. AVAT's line is dashed before it listed on 11 Jun 2026. AVX's filings run from 2021 but its first disclosed trade is Jul 2023.

Head to head · The people

The connective tissue

Two clusters, two sponsors, and one firm, ParaFi, connected to both. The thick lines are the relationships that decide control: who owns the votes, who manages the money. Every other line staffs, sells to, or advises.

Dragonfly controls AVAT's vote, Hivemind manages AVX's money, and ParaFi touches both

Each box is a firm, fund, or foundation; each line is a documented relationship to one of the two Nasdaq AVAX treasury companies. Thick lines are the two relationships that confer control; thin lines staff, sell to, or advise. The Avalanche Foundation also has a line to each company. Positions are hand-set for legibility, so distance means nothing.

Where the disclosure stops, on both sides

AVAT outsources its staking to three named operators; AVX runs its own nodes. The approaches differ, yet the disclosure stops at the same place: no NodeID, no wallet address, from either company. The filings and the feeds describe the structure. The chain shows the mechanics. Neither record supplies the key that would join them.

There is one exception on each side: the exact filed quantities that pinned three wallets neither company ever disclosed. That account is The Wallets, the last page of the AVAT section — its traced addresses now watched live.
