Digital Asset Treasury Inflows Slow in November Amid Corporate Treasury Boom Deceleration

Digital Asset Treasury Inflows Slowdown in November 2025

Digital asset treasuries (DATs) experienced their slowest month of 2025 in November, as the corporate treasury boom decelerated. Data aggregator DefiLlama's data revealed that DATs saw a mere $1.32 billion in inflows during November, marking the sector's lowest monthly inflows of the year. This represents a 34% decline from October's $1.99 billion and a substantial 88% decrease from September's $11.55 billion.

Bitcoin (BTC) DATs spearheaded the month with inflows totaling $1.06 billion, primarily driven by Strategy's $835 million Bitcoin purchase on November 17 and Metaplanet's $130 million BTC acquisition on November 25. XRP (XRP) followed with $214 million in inflows, as reported by DefiLlama. Ether (ETH), which had led DAT inflows for the preceding three months, lagged in November, experiencing outflows of approximately $37 million, despite BitMine Immersion Technologies, a leading ETH DAT, consistently augmenting its holdings throughout the month.

DAT Equities Face a Steep November Sell-Off

Concurrently with the decrease in DAT inflows, DAT equities also underwent a sharp correction during November, with major DAT stocks underperforming, despite a brief rally on Monday. Google Finance data indicated that Strategy, the sector's largest DAT, plummeted 35.23% over the course of the month, declining from $264.67 on November 3 to $171.42 at the time of writing. Despite the downturn in Strategy's stock prices, its chairman, Michael Saylor, reiterated his unwavering commitment on social media, asserting that he “won’t back down” from their Bitcoin investment.

Meanwhile, Japanese Bitcoin accumulator Metaplanet witnessed a 20.67% slide during the same period, falling from 450 Japanese yen ($2.89) to 357 yen ($2.29). Beyond Bitcoin DATs, Ether-focused DATs also reported significant losses. BitMine dropped from $42.86 to $28.94, registering a 32.48% decline within the same timeframe, while Sharplink Gaming stock shed 26.66%, decreasing from $13.09 to $9.60.

Among the major DATs, Solana-focused Forward Industries – the largest corporate holder of Solana (SOL) tokens – endured the most substantial percentage loss. According to Strategic Solana Reserve data, the company's stock plummeted 43% in the last 30 days, falling from $13.91 to $7.86. CoinGecko data further revealed that Forward Industries holds unrealized losses of $712.52 million from its Solana acquisitions.

Future Outlook for the DAT Sector

Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan remarked that the preceding six months demonstrated a tendency for DATs to move in lockstep, exhibiting synchronized rises and falls. However, he anticipates the culmination of this phase, contending that going forward, the market will reward companies that employ coherent strategies and demonstrate tangible execution. Hougan posited that the sector is progressing towards heightened differentiation, wherein a select group of DATs will garner enduring premiums while others may languish in persistent discounts.
