Valuation model

BTX valuation methodology

The BTX price dashboard estimates a current model price and a 12-month target by anchoring BTX mining work to Bitcoin's market value per unit of network security. Version 1.1.0 keeps the original Bitcoin-relative intuition, while adding bounded nonce-rate damping and a capped circulating-supply adjustment so short-term spikes cannot dominate the output.

Compute Floor And Model Floor

The raw compute floor answers a narrow question: if BTX nonce work is treated as a measurable share of Bitcoin's network work, what price does that imply per BTX? It uses Bitcoin price, Bitcoin hash rate, BTX nonce rate, and the calibration constant χ.

P_raw = P_BTC · (χ · N_BTX / H_BTC)

The public model floor keeps that raw value visible, then replaces raw BTX nonce rate with a damped effective nonce rate and applies a bounded supply multiplier.

N_eff = N_anchor · clamp(N_BTX / N_anchor, r_min, r_max)^β
P_model = P_BTC · (χ · N_eff / H_BTC) · F_supply

Nonce-Rate Damping

Raw nonce rate is useful signal, but it is noisy. A one-week or one-month 100x jump should not create a 100x valuation jump, because a small network can temporarily attract or lose miners faster than the market can validate persistent demand.

The model therefore uses a concave transform and a hard cap on the raw-to-anchor ratio. With the current parameters, a 100x raw nonce-rate scenario is treated like a capped 10x scenario and becomes roughly a 4.47x effective nonce-rate move.

effective nonce — nps
nonce multiplier 0.8872966477137223x
capped ratio 0.8319666330930980767828396871x

Circulating Supply Layer

The token price is affected by how much BTX is actually circulating, but the model avoids treating low float as a free multiplier. A smaller public float can create scarcity, while future issuance creates an unlock drag. Both effects are deliberately small and capped.

F_float = clamp((float_anchor / max(S_circ / S_max, 5%))^α)
F_unlock = (1 + U_12m / max(S_circ, 5% · S_max))^-δ
F_supply = clamp(F_float · F_unlock)

This keeps supply informative without letting a low-float or early-chain state produce absurd per-token estimates.

Mining Regime Premium

The current spot model can sit above the compute-only floor through a Bitcoin mining-regime overlay. The API exposes this as a risk index and horizon weight, so readers can separate the floor calculation from the additional mining-market premium.

Forward Curve

The 12-month target is not just the spot model projected forward. It layers relative BTX network growth, the Bitcoin regime-premium ramp, and participant expansion onto the model floor.

Open Source Files

The model is published as executable reference material, not just a written description. Use the C file for audit and ports, the workbook for local scenario work, and the changelog to understand revisions.

Programmatic Access

The documentation page uses the same public payload as the JSON and Markdown endpoints. Programmatic clients should cite `computed_at`, the raw inputs, effective nonce, supply adjustment, model version, and the forward row they consume.

compute_floor_usd = btc_price_usd * (chi * btx_nonce_rate_raw / btc_hashrate_hps); btx_nonce_rate_effective = nonce_anchor_nps * clamp(btx_nonce_rate_raw / nonce_anchor_nps, nonce_ratio_min, nonce_ratio_max)^nonce_damping_exponent; btx_supply_multiplier = clamp(float_multiplier * unlock_drag_multiplier, supply_multiplier_min, supply_multiplier_max); model_compute_floor_usd = btc_price_usd * (chi * btx_nonce_rate_effective / btc_hashrate_hps) * btx_supply_multiplier; spot.usd = model_compute_floor_usd * (1 + risk_index * risk_spot_weight); forward[m].usd = model_compute_floor_usd * G_rel^e(m) * R_BTC(m) * Q_part(m)
