EV/Holder Revenue

EV/Holder Revenue measures what you pay per dollar of revenue that actually reaches tokenholders — through buybacks, burns, or direct distributions.

How this framework works

Enterprise Value

EV = Market Cap + Token Debt - Claimable Treasury. Claimable Treasury = Gross Treasury × (1 - Claim Discount %). Discount ranges from 0% (fully accessible) to 100% (no holder claim).

Revenue Waterfall

Fees (what users pay) → Protocol Revenue (what the protocol keeps) → Holder Revenue (what reaches tokenholders via buybacks, burns, or distributions). Take Rate = Protocol Rev / Fees. Accrual Ratio = Holder Rev / Protocol Rev.

Valuation Multiples

EV/Holder Revenue is the primary metric — what you pay per dollar that reaches you. Cost-Adjusted = EV / (HR - Token Costs). Token costs include Team Comp and Operating Costs but exclude Investor Overhang.

Tokenholder Tax

(Team Comp + Operating Costs + Investor Overhang) / Holder Revenue. A diagnostic, not in the multiple. Measures total supply headwind per $1 of holder revenue.
