Strategy Reports $5.91 Billion Unrealized Bitcoin Loss in Q1 2025
Strategy, a company formerly known as MicroStrategy, has announced a staggering unrealized loss of $5.91 billion on its Bitcoin holdings for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The massive loss comes as a result of the cryptocurrency’s significant decline from its intra-week high of $87,100 to around $78,200.
The company reported that it made no new purchases during the week of March 31 to April 6, opting instead to pause all further Bitcoin acquisitions. This decision follows a $7.7 billion spend on Bitcoin at an average price of $95,000 per coin in Q1, with the majority of its holdings being purchased in recent months.
Strategy’s Bitcoin portfolio currently holds 528,185 BTC bought at an average cost of $67,458 per unit. The company revealed that it has a mere 13% buffer before losing all gains on its investment.
Despite these staggering losses, Michael Saylor, Strategy’s co-founder and former CEO, remains resolute in his support for Bitcoin. On social media platforms, he continues to express his optimism about the digital currency’s potential. In a recent X post, Saylor emphasized that “Bitcoin is most volatile because it is most useful.” He also went on to caution that inflation is only the tip of the iceberg and that capital faces dilution from taxes, regulation, competition, obsolescence, and unforeseen events.
Saylor has consistently ruled out selling even a small portion of Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings, instead advocating for resilience in a world filled with hidden risks.
