Retail investors have incurred losses estimated at $17 billion after investing in Bitcoin Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) firms such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet at inflated prices. Despite a 38% increase in corporate Bitcoin holdings in the third quarter, with 48 new companies joining the trend, the overvaluation of DATs has led to a market correction. This correction has resulted in significant losses for retail investors as share prices and net asset values have declined.
