Strategy’s $12.4B Bitcoin Loss Puts Its ‘Never Sell’ Bet Under Fresh Pressure
Strategy, the bitcoin-focused company that used to be MicroStrategy, posted a $12.4 billion net loss for Q4, hit hard by the sharp plunge in crypto prices. The numbers have gained new weight as accounting changes now cause bitcoin’s daily swings to impact reported earnings more sharply, ramping up volatility for firms holding crypto as a treasury asset. Investors are reevaluating the trade amid bitcoin’s pullback and persistent volatility in funding costs.
