@santhonys Ppl are crazy $VCX at this prem to NAV. Why would anyone buy $VCX instead of $DXYX? You can play the arbitrage and Buy DXYZ while shorting VCX to profit when the gap between the two premiums they trade at closes.
Gemini says they did with NAV at $24.56 as of 3/31 and should be higher using today's valuations.
I sold a lot of Naked Calls at the 390, 400 and 410 strikes on VCX and looking great.
They recently issued options on DXYZ and if the NAV #'s are accurate, selling the Dec 40 Puts for about $13 is not a bad idea. Worst case, puts you in the stock at $27 which should be around the current NAV
@santhonys Anthony, great work here as always. Has DXYZ published their 3/31 NAV yet? What would the NAV be if we use current valuations on Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX?
@AsifSuria Did very well shorting $CAR but I'm curious to find out what portion of the total profit front Pentwater goes to Avis since Pentwater triggered the 6-month rule
$DXYZ - Proceed with caution.
With the hype around SpaceX $SPCX and Anthropic IPOs, I've seen $DXYZ floated everywhere as THE proxy trade.
So I dug into the numbers.
Here's what nobody is telling you at $47 ($1.05B market cap).
WHAT IT IS
A fund that owns pieces of private companies you can't buy directly. Like an ETF for unicorns.
They own SpaceX, Anthropic, Databricks, Shield AI + 28 others.
WHAT'S IN IT (Mar 31, 2026 = $742M total portfolio)
โ Cash: 31.4% (sitting in Treasury MMF)
โ Anthropic SPV: 18.1% (marked at $380B Series G)
โ SpaceX: 9.6% (incl xAI after Feb 2 merger, marked ~$400B)
โ Databricks: ~4% (marked at $134B Series L)
โ Other 28 holdings: ~37%
Notice cash + Anthropic = nearly half the fund.
SpaceX is 10%.
THE KEY METRIC: NAV
NAV (Net Asset Value) = what each share would be worth if the fund sold everything tomorrow.
โ DXYZ NAV = $24.56
โ DXYZ price = $47.62
That's a 94% premium.
You're paying $47 for $24 of stuff.
WHY ANYONE PAYS DOUBLE
Retail can't access SpaceX or Anthropic directly โ scarcity premium
Bet that underlying privates rerate higher soon (IPOs ahead).
Meme / FOMO momentum
THE BULL MATH - if all 3 catalysts hit H2 2026
โ SpaceX IPO @ $1.75T โ 4.4x from $400B mark โ +$340M
โ Anthropic round @ $900B โ 2.4x from $380B (Bloomberg, May 12) โ +$260M
โ Databricks IPO @ $200B โ 1.5x from $134B โ +$21M
NAV rerates: $24.56 โ ~$39 (+59%)
THE CATCH โ stock price โ NAV.
Premium decides everything
โ Premium 94% (today's level) โ stock $76 โ +60%
โ Premium 70% โ stock $66 โ +39%
โ Premium 50% โ stock $58 โ +23%
โ Premium 20% โ stock $47 โ 0%
โ Premium 0% โ stock $39 โ โ18%
THE TRAP NOBODY MENTIONS
The same IPOs that make NAV go up are what kill the premium. Once SpaceX trades publicly, anyone can buy SpaceX directly. The scarcity premium evaporates.
DXYZ premium history:
2024 peak: 900% (traded at 10x NAV)
Mar 2025: โ10% (DISCOUNT to NAV)
Today: 94%
This thing swings between euphoria and disgust.
Buying at 94% premium is buying near a local high, not a structural floor.
BOTTOM LINE
โ At $30 = buy.
โ At $47 = speculation.
You need TWO bets to hit:
(a) catalysts materialize (probable)
(b) premium holds (unlikely once stocks actually list)
I never wrote a long form article on $LEN or $NCLH so I understand why I don't get credit for those legendary trades...
But when $CVNA free falls do I get a movie made about me?
30% of car buyers trading in vehicles in early 2026 are "underwater," owing more on their loans than the car is worth, with an average gap of over $7,000, per WSJ
