The Future of Finance: How Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) Are Eating Wall Street
summary
DATs claim to let public companies buy and manage crypto at scale: about 15–20 billion AUM raised year‑to‑date, with examples like $3.8 billion of Ether held by one NASDAQ issuer and another holding roughly $0.5B of Solana. The model uses at‑the‑market issuance, staking (native PoS yield ~3% cited), and on‑chain deployments (some treasuries report ~10% deployed) to grow crypto‑per‑share and generate cash flow, while daily trading volume and ADV/market‑cap dynamics determine fundraising capacity.
