    Bitcoin Drop Wipes $1B Off Strategyโ€™s Holdings โ€“ Time to Pivot?

    Story Highlights
    • Strategy has heavily invested in Bitcoin, accumulating a large holding through a Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy.

    • Bitcoin's recent price decline from its peak above $100K has resulted in a significant unrealized loss for Strategy.

    • The company's continued strategy hinges on Bitcoin's potential recovery, raising questions about its future.

    Strategy has a special place in the crypto community. When the company first entered the Bitcoin market, few public firms were willing to take the risk. But under Michael Saylorโ€™s leadership, Strategy adopted an aggressive Bitcoin investment strategy. Today, it holds 499,096 BTC.

    The company made headlines when Bitcoin briefly crossed the $100K milestone. However, since February 4, BTC has not closed above this level. The price now stands at $88,724.95, down 11.26% from its peak. This raises an important question – has Bitcoinโ€™s decline affected Strategyโ€™s stock? And has Saylorโ€™s strategy hit a roadblock?

    Strategyโ€™s Dollar-Cost Averaging Approach

    Strategy follows a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy, where it buys Bitcoin in regular intervals instead of making one large purchase. This explains why the company bought BTC even when prices were between $95K and $106K.

    However, Bitcoin has dropped significantly since its peak of $106Kโ€”down 16.28% overall.

    • In early February, BTC traded at $100,621.97.
    • On February 2, it briefly closed above $101,305.27.
    • February 3 saw a 3.49% drop.
    • Between February 5 and 23, BTC stayed between $98,290.71 and $95,678.10.
    • On February 24, it fell below this range, dropping 12.48% in three days.
    • Although BTC rebounded 11.77% between March 1 and 2, it failed to recover completely.
    • On March 3, BTC saw another 8.49% decline.

    Now, Bitcoin is still struggling to get back above $100K.

    Strategyโ€™s $1 Billion Unrealized Loss

    Because of its aggressive buying, Strategy is now facing $1 billion in unrealized losses. The biggest loss came from a $1.11 billion Bitcoin purchase at an average price of $105,596 per BTC.

    The companyโ€™s most recent Bitcoin purchase was on February 24, when it bought 20,356 BTC for $1.99 billion. Currently, Strategyโ€™s total Bitcoin holdings are worth $44.63 billion.

    If Bitcoin doesnโ€™t recover soon, Strategy might have to reassess its approach. Will Saylor continue to buy more, or will the company take a different route? For now, all eyes are on Bitcoinโ€™s next move.
