Bloomberg has identified a $17 billion risk exposure for retail investors linked to Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) financing models. These models, employed by publicly traded companies with substantial crypto holdings, involve contributions of unlisted or low-liquidity tokens, posing valuation difficulties and shifting risk to individual investors. The analysis indicates that these structures have resulted in significant losses for retail investors during market downturns. Experts caution about information asymmetry and advise investors to conduct comprehensive due diligence before engaging with these models.
