Strategy (MSTR) Reported Q2 2026 Losses, Is The 1.2x P B Ratio Too Cheap?

The P/B ratio compares the company's share price to the accounting value of its net assets. For Strategy, that means investors are paying about 1.2 times the value of its equity on the balance sheet, which includes both its Bitcoin related holdings and its software business. This metric is often used when earnings are volatile or negative, as is the case here, because it leans on the balance sheet rather than current profits.

What stands out is how this compares to peers. Strategy's 1.2x P/B sits well below the US Software industry average of 3.1x and also below the peer average of 10.7x. That gap shows the market is pricing Strategy's equity at a substantial discount compared to other software stocks, even though the company still has a sizeable Bitcoin treasury exposure and an operating software segment with $498.35m in revenue.
