$8.22B Q2 Loss as Bitcoin Slide Hits Strategy's Bottom Line
MSTR sits 19% above its 52-week low of $81.81.
Summary
Strategy posted an $8.22B Q2 net loss, driven by an $8.32B unrealized loss on its massive Bitcoin holdings as the crypto pulled back. The loss reverses a $10.02B profit a year ago. Despite the paper loss, the company expanded its Bitcoin treasury to 843,775 BTC, up 25% year-to-date, funded by $17.06B in ATM equity sales. Software revenue ticked up 6.9% to $122.4M, but that's a footnote next to the crypto exposure. Liquidity is a growing focus: the company built a $3.75B cash reserve and sold $218M of Bitcoin to cover preferred dividends and interest. A new $1B buyback authorization adds a potential floor, though no shares have been repurchased yet. This follows a $12.54B Q1 loss and a recent $216M Bitcoin sale at a loss, underscoring the volatility of the Bitcoin-centric strategy. With Bitcoin at $64,728, the unrealized loss on the $63.69B cost basis remains material.
