Strategy, has just announced massive latent losses of $ 5.91 billion on its Bitcoin assets in the first quarter of 2025. In a recent Document 8-K transmitted to the SEC on April 7, 2025, Michael Saylor's business highlights the brutal impact of macroeconomic conditions on its accumulation strategy.
Bitcoin: Strategy records nearly $ 6 billion in losses in Q1 2025
Between January and March 2025, Strategy bought 80,715 BTC for a total of 7.66 billion dollars, via its market emission program on the market. The average acquisition price amounted to $ 94,922, while Bitcoin closed the quarter under 84,000 dollars. Thus recording a drop of 11.82 %, its worst quarterly performance since 2018.
This fall in prices has accentuated The unrealized losses of the companyalready strongly exposed to market volatility. Strategy has not acquired any new bitcoin between March 31 and April 4, for lack of request for its ordinary actions (MSTR) and for Strk, its preferential offer for perpetual yield.
In total, the company now holds 528,185 BTC, acquired for around 36 billion dollars, an average purchase price of $ 67,458. Despite the losses, the current valuation of this cash exceeds $ 43 billion, representing approximately 3 % of the total bitcoin supply in circulation (21 million parts).
BTC Under Pressure: What direction for Strategy?
After falling under $ 75,000, Bitcoin is currently struggling to cross $ 80,000, putting Strategy in a delicate position. Although the company remains technically in capital gain on its past acquisitions at an average price of 67,458 dollars, recent purchases at 94,922 dollars already cause latent losses of approximately 15 %.
If Bitcoin stagnates around $ 80,000, Strategy could continue to accumulate unrealized losses, especially if the lowering market persists. On the other hand, a rebound above the $ 90,000 would offer a respite. However, if the price falls under $ 70,000, the situation would become risky for the company, questioning its strategy of aggressive accumulation.
Strategy therefore remains strongly exposed to the volatility of Bitcoin. Although its BTC accumulation strategy continues to offer it an impressive valuation, the company will have to closely monitor market fluctuations. Any prolonged drop could question its position and future profitability.
