According to CoinDesk, the tokenized asset company Ondo Finance is embroiled in a corporate control dispute following the death of founder Nathan Allman this year. The estate has filed a lawsuit in the Delaware Chancery Court, accusing former president and current CEO Ian De Bode of improperly attempting to seize control of the company while the estate certification process is not yet complete and the company's voting rights are temporarily suspended. The three legal documents request the judge to determine who legally controls Ondo Finance and to prohibit the company from taking significant actions until the governance dispute is resolved.According to the complaint, Nathan Allman was the CEO, sole director, and controlling shareholder of Ondo at the time of his death, and his voting rights could not be exercised until his mother, Kathleen Allman, was formally appointed as the estate representative through the Hawaiian probate process on June 26. The estate alleges that De Bode claimed to automatically become CEO and appointed himself as the sole director before this, taking actions such as hiring consultants and approving performance grants.After obtaining the voting rights, Kathleen Allman voted to remove De Bode from all positions and appointed herself as chairwoman and interim CEO during the board meeting on July 24. De Bode responded that he regretted the lawsuit filed by Allman, stating that her claims lack basis, and that the company still has the support of major investors and key stakeholders such as the Ondo Foundation. The court has not yet ruled on the related allegations, and the aforementioned documents only reflect the statements of the estate.

NextGen Venture founder Jason Huang posted on platform X that Strategy (MSTR) issued new shares through an ATM last week, which did not actually increase the per-share Bitcoin holdings but instead diluted its mNAV multiple. He pointed out that the number of Bitcoins corresponding to each share is decreasing, and the official mNAV metric has dropped to 1.1 times, based on the most recent disclosure before last week's decline. Huang warned that once MSTR's performance relative to Bitcoin lags by another 10% (negative Alpha), each issuance through the ATM will further dilute the per-share Bitcoin holdings, and at that point, the death spiral will truly begin; the recent decline is merely an appetizer.

An analysis published by Fortune magazine points out that despite the recent decline in Bitcoin dragging down the stock price of Strategy (MSTR), the company's current market value still has a premium of about 31% over its underlying net asset value.The analysis believes that this premium stems from the market's past recognition of Michael Saylor's "Bitcoin appreciation flywheel" model, but as this model becomes ineffective, the related premium faces further compression risks.
