The purchases were funded via ATM sales of MSTR stock, the firm’s USD reserves rose to $1 billion, and the stake now accounts for just over 4% of Bitcoin’s supply, implying about $10.5 billion in paper losses at current prices.
Strategy, the bitcoin treasury holder formerly MicroStrategy, posted a $12.6 billion net loss for Q4 2025, after an about $17.4 billion operating loss driven by unrealized bitcoin declines as Bitcoin plunged to the low $60ks. The company still holds about 713,502 BTC at an average cost near $76,000, with mark‑to‑market losses now approaching $31 billion year‑to‑date, contributing to one of the largest quarterly losses by a U.S. public company and a stock drop exceeding 70% versus last year.
Bitcoin slid below $71,000 to its lowest level since October 2024, dropping about 7% in 24 hours to roughly $70,900 as risk-off selling hit crypto and related equities; Ethereum fell to around $2,091, while Coinbase declined about 6.1% and Bitmine fell roughly 9.2%. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index remained in “extreme fear” territory, with macro pressures cited by analysts as driving the sell-off, though some see a longer‑term opportunity if ETF flows stabilize and selling pressure eases.
TipRanks notes MicroStrategy (MSTR) continues aggressively buying Bitcoin using newly issued equity as BTC prices dip, aiming for a swift rebound. Cowen's Lance Vitanza expects BTC to reach new all-time highs around mid-2026, with end-2026 BTC near $177,000 and end-2027 around $226,000. For FY26, BTC yield is forecast at 7.1% (vs. 8.8% prior), implying about $6.3 billion in Bitcoin gains. Based on this framework, Vitanza puts a $440 price target on MSTR, about 153% upside, with a Strong Buy consensus among analysts.
