MicroStrategy Faces Record $10.8B Unrealized Loss on Bitcoin Holdings
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin investment has hit a record unrealized loss of $10.8 billion, with the company now down 17% on its position after six years. The news comes as MSTR stock trades 77% below its all-time high.
MicroStrategy, the business intelligence firm known for its outsized Bitcoin holdings, is facing an unprecedented unrealized loss of $10.8 billion on its cryptocurrency position. According to data cited by The Kobeissi Letter, the company is now down 17% on its Bitcoin investment after accumulating the asset over the past six years.
Over the same period, the S&P 500 has risen 116%, highlighting the opportunity cost. MicroStrategy recently sold 32 bitcoins at an average price of $77,135 per coin, contributing to the decline. As a result, MSTR stock has plunged 77% from its record high, underscoring the severity of the downturn.
The losses illustrate the risks of concentrated corporate exposure to volatile digital assets, even for a long-term holder like MicroStrategy.
