MSTR Undervalued or NOT? Ray Dalio Said Crypto Policy Window May Be Less Than One Year

Global index provider MSCI announced it will maintain its current treatment of so-called “crypto treasury companies.” This means firms like $Strategy(MSTR)$ — which hold Bitcoin as a core asset — are not being removed from major indexes, for now.

On the news, MSTR rebounded 6% this week. Some investors now argue: MSTR may already be near its downside floor.

However, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns that crypto is being repriced by U.S. political cycles.

Is Crypto Running Out of Time?

2026 U.S. midterm elections are approaching. Prediction market Polymarket shows a 79% probability that Democrats regain the House in 2026

If that happens, today’s pro-crypto policy momentum could fade quickly.

The most important variable is the CLARITY Act, which would define:

Crypto market structure; Exchange regulation; Institutional legitimacy for digital assets

Political gridlock could delay it until 2027 or later. Even now, policy execution is not frictionless. Bitcoin Senator Cynthia Lummis who has also announced she will not seek re-election in 2026.

Another Shift: The Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Has Broken

For the first time in 14 years, Bitcoin’s traditional 4-year halving cycle failed to repeat.

  • The year after the 2024 halving did not continue higher

  • 2025 closed lower — unprecedented in prior cycles

This does not imply structural weakness. It reflects a regime change:

Bitcoin has shifted from a supply-shock-driven asset to a liquidity-sensitive, macro-driven asset.

Today, BTC responds more to: dollar liquidity & real rates, ETF flows, institutional allocation and global economic cycles

  1. “The single most important variable for crypto in the next year is ____.”

  2. MSTR is undervalued/overvalued.

MSTR Rallies As MSCI Backs: Is 2026 of BTC Institutional Supercycle?
Shares of Strategy Inc (MSTR) moved higher Wednesday after MSCI reversed plans to remove crypto-treasury firms from its global indexes, easing fears of forced institutional selling. Institutions are buying 76% more BTC than miners are producing, creating a supply deficit. 1. With MSCI’s reversal, does MSTR regain its appeal for institutional portfolios? 2. If Bitcoin pushes toward $150K, is current crypto exposure still underpriced? 3. Looking ahead to 2026, do you favor Bitcoin proxies like MSTR, spot ETFs, or miners?

    From my perspective, crypto isn’t running out of time, but it is running out of political certainty. The single most important variable in the next year is U.S. liquidity and policy execution, not narratives. The CLARITY Act matters less for symbolism and more as proof that pro-crypto rhetoric can translate into durable regulation.

    The broken 4-year Bitcoin cycle confirms a regime shift, not structural weakness. Bitcoin has evolved from a supply-shock trade into a liquidity-driven asset, reacting more to real rates, ETF flows, and dollar liquidity than halvings. Sideways or corrective phases now reflect macro conditions rather than failure of the thesis.

    On MSTR $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ , I view it as fairly valued relative to its role as a leveraged Bitcoin proxy. MSTR may be near a floor if BTC stabilizes, but meaningful upside depends on renewed liquidity & sustained institutional inflows.

    Next week looks like more sideways chop with a slight bullish tilt for crypto plays BTC:
    Stuck around $90K–$91K right now, but holding support feels solid. Could grind up to $95K–$100K if momentum picks up and no big macro shocks hit.

    MSTR: Trading near $160-ish, super leveraged to BTC. If Bitcoin perks up, expect a bounce toward $175–$190 — but watch for volatility.

    MSTU: The 2x MSTR beast is in the low $10 range after getting wrecked. Wild swings ahead; good BTC days could spike it hard, bad ones crush it fast

    Momentum & ETF flows will drive it more than news. Not financial advice — trade smart!

    The important variable would have to be political sentiment. The huge rally that happened when trump was sworn in, happened because he projected the right signals. Although it is starting to look like a pump and dump where he infected hype to get attention and make a quick buck, then pulled the rug and proceeded off to his next  get-rich scheme. With the abandonment, some investors likely decided to give up, having entered because they thought there would be sustained efforts to hype crypto up from the white house.

    I think MSTR is overvalued

    🌟🌟🌟While the halving of Bitcoin used to be the main event, the single most important variable for 2026/2027 is accelerated tokenisation.

    Tokenisation is a revolutionary process that transforms the ownership rights of physical or digital assets into a "digital token" on a blockchain (a secure, shared digital ledger).

    Why accelerated tokenisation in 2026?  This is driven by the institutional giants like Morgan Stanley & BlackRock.

    1. Instant Liquidity: Tokenisation eliminates slow, manual process.

    2.  Fractional Ownership: It makes high value assets accessible to everyone.

    3. Automation & Efficiency: The "tokens" are programmable.  That means they can automatically pay dividends or enforce trading rules without a costly intermediary like a broker.

    4.  The Stablecoin Sink:  As assets are tokenised, they often need stablecoins to settle transactions immediately.

    Exciting times are ahead for the crypto market!

    For the broader crypto market, the path of regulatory acceptance and how major financial institutions choose to classify and include crypto assets will be a paramount driver in the coming year.

    Regarding MSTR.US, it exhibits characteristics of both a potential value opportunity (trading at low P/B, high analyst targets) and a high-risk asset (eroding competitive advantage, financial losses, leverage, and regulatory overhang). Its valuation is intrinsically tied to Bitcoin's price but is also discounted by its operational risks and costs. Therefore, a simple "undervalued" or "overvalued" label is not appropriate; it is a specialized, high-beta instrument whose appeal depends heavily on an investor's specific views on Bitcoin's future, tolerance for leverage, and assessment of corporate execution risk.

    (1) The single most important variable for crypto in the next year is the 2026 US Midterm Elections and the resulting fate of the CLARITY Act

    (2) MSTR is undervalued because its massive Bitcoin treasury and recent MSCI inclusion reprieve offer unique leveraged exposure to an eventual supply crunch whereas MSTR is overvalued because its high debt-to-equity ratio and premium over net asset value make it dangerously vulnerable to political gridlock and Bitcoin price corrections
