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’s Bitcoin Hoard Climbs to 3.4% of All BTC as Buy Plan Expands

MicroStrategy now holds 713,502 BTC, about 3.4% of Bitcoin’s total supply, making it the largest corporate holder and a key driver of BTC concentration. The firm’s 42/42 Plan seeks up to $84 billion in new capital by 2027 (split evenly between stock sales and debt) to fund further BTC purchases, including a 22,305-BTC tranche in January 2026. While the strategy could support higher BTC prices through tighter supply and mainstream adoption, it also introduces dilution risk and a high degree of price correlation between the company and Bitcoin.

Bitcoin slide drags MicroStrategy to a $12.4B Q4 loss

MicroStrategy, the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, posted a $12.4 billion net loss for Q4 2025 as Bitcoin fell more than 40% from its all‑time high; revenue rose to $123 million, cash on hand was $2.3 billion, and the company’s 713,502 BTC holdings are worth about $60 billion but remain underwater given an average purchase price around $66,385. Despite the hefty loss, analysts rate MSTR as a Strong Buy with a target near $388, suggesting upside as crypto markets potentially recover, even as the stock has halved amid the downturn.

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. 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.

MicroStrategy, led by Michael Saylor, experienced a significant stock decline at the end of 2025, despite holding the world's largest Bitcoin treasury worth around $59 billion.

Michael Saylor's Strategy Boosts Bitcoin Holdings with $4.2B Plan

Michael Saylor, chairman of MicroStrategy, defends the firm's substantial Bitcoin holdings, which control about 3% of the total supply, and potentially up to 7%, asserting it is not excessive and comparing it to BlackRock's holdings. The company reported its first profitable quarter with a $10 billion net income in Q2 and a $13.2 billion gain from BTC holdings year-to-date. MicroStrategy funds its Bitcoin acquisitions through stock issuance and debt, and plans to use yield-bearing preferred stocks to raise capital for further Bitcoin purchases, viewing its stock as undervalued and a way to generate Bitcoin-denominated returns.

Publicly traded companies are increasingly buying Bitcoin as part of a 'bitcoin treasury' strategy, driven by motives like inflation hedging and industry support, with MicroStrategy owning the largest share. This trend is fueled by the rising value of Bitcoin and restrictions on direct investment, but carries risks if Bitcoin prices fall. The strategy has led to significant stock price increases for some companies, though its long-term viability is debated.
