Strategy Reports $14.5B Bitcoin Paper Loss in Q1

Published by

Strategy Inc., the Bitcoin-focused company led by Michael Saylor, posted an approximately $14.46 billion unrealized loss in the first quarter of 2026 as the value of its Bitcoin holdings declined sharply. This drop reflects weaker market prices, with Bitcoin falling around 23% and marking its worst first-quarter performance since 2018. The company also recorded a deferred tax benefit of about $2.42 billion, which partly offset the paper loss. Despite this, Strategy continued buying Bitcoin even as it held roughly $51.65 billion in digital assets at quarter-end.
