    February 2, 2026, 2:23 PM EST. Strategy's $56 billion Bitcoin position showed paper losses for the first time in years as Bitcoin dipped below the firm's average purchase price of around $76,000. The company's stock fell 62% over six months, outpacing Bitcoin's 30% decline, despite recent purchases of roughly 900 BTC at about $88,000 each.
