Bitcoin rout drives Strategy to $12.6B Q4 loss, one of corporate history's largest

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.

MicroStrategy Bets Big on Bitcoin in 2026, Targeting a New High for MSTR

TipRanks notes MicroStrategy (MSTR) continues aggressively buying Bitcoin using newly issued equity as BTC prices dip, aiming for a swift rebound.

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.

Bitcoin Eyes New Highs Amid Market Volatility

Bitcoin remains above $105K with potential for a surge to $130K-$135K in Q3 if it closes strongly above resistance levels like $108.8K, but high leverage and liquidity clusters could trigger volatility and reversals. Key support and resistance zones around $107.1K and $108.8K will be crucial in determining the next move, with a breakout possibly leading to new all-time highs or a correction back to $92K-$95K.
