JQ: convert Convert value into nested key-value object, with jq

I am lost with an easy-looking JQjq problem. Given a key-value object, I want to transform the value into a nested object with a "value"value-key. I tried permutations with 'to_entries'to_entries and native output as well as the {}{}-output option, but without success. I'm convinced that there is a rather obvious solution, but I cannot find it.

Input:

{ "mykey" : "myvalue" }

{ "mykey" : "myvalue" }

Desired output:

{ "mykey" : { "value" : "myvalue" }}

{ "mykey" : { "value" : "myvalue" }}

I am lost with an easy-looking JQ problem. Given a key-value object, I want to transform the value into a nested object with a "value"-key. I tried permutations with 'to_entries' and native output as well as the {}-output option, but without success. I'm convinced that there is a rather obvious solution, but I cannot find it.

{ "mykey" : "myvalue" }

Desired output:
