Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is facing unrealized losses exceeding $9 billion on its digital asset treasury as the leading crypto asset dropped below $74,000 amid a broad market selloff.
The firm holds 717,722 BTC purchased for roughly $54.5 billion at an average cost of approximately $76,000 per coin. With Bitcoin trading around $63,100 in early New York hours today, the portfolio’s market value has fallen to around $45 billion.
Bitcoin has declined roughly 30% so far this year and is on pace for its steepest monthly drop since 2022, shedding approximately 19% in February alone, CoinGecko data shows. It is also headed for a fifth consecutive monthly loss, a streak not seen since 2018.
The downturn follows President Trump’s announcement of plans to raise global tariffs to 15%, triggering risk-off sentiment across markets. The crypto market shed around 4% in the last 24 hours to $2.2 trillion.
Despite the drawdown, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor has signaled no intention to liquidate holdings. The company completed its 100th Bitcoin purchase last week, acquiring 592 BTC for about $40 million, funded through stock sales.
Since designating Bitcoin as its primary reserve asset in August 2020, the firm has accumulated 3.4% of the total supply through equity and debt issuances.
Shares of Strategy fell more than 5% on Monday, closing at $124, and continued to decline in after-hours trading, bringing the year-to-date loss to nearly 20%, per Yahoo Finance.
