    Michael Saylor’s Strategy Faces $900 Million Loss After Bitcoin Price Drop 

    Story Highlights
    • Bitcoin dip puts Michael Saylor’s Strategy in $900M paper loss, but no liquidation risk as BTC rebounds above $76K.

    • Strategy stock struggles with Bitcoin’s volatility, yet Saylor hints at more BTC buying despite recent market weakness.

    The recent drop in Bitcoin price has put the, Michael Saylor’s Strategy in a sharp paper loss of $900 million after BTC slipped below the $75,000 level. 

    Although the loss remains only on paper, the drop in BTC value has also dragged down Strategy’s stock price, raising concerns among investors about whether Strategy will liquidate Bitcoin to reduce further losses

    Bitcoin Drop Pushes Strategy Into $900 Million in Paper Loss

    As of now, Strategy holds a massive 712,647 BTC, valued at around $54.36 billion. However, these coins were bought over time at an average price of about $76,040 per Bitcoin.

    Lookonchain, an on-chain analytics platform, highlighted that Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings briefly showed an unrealized loss of over $900 million when BTC dipped below $75K.

    This means short-term price drops do not automatically create financial pressure on the company. As a result, there is no immediate risk of liquidation, even during sharp market swings.

    Strategy Stock Remains Under Pressure

    However, Bitcoin’s price still matters greatly for Strategy. The company’s stock is closely linked to BTC movements because Strategy continues to fund its Bitcoin strategy through equity sales. 

    A filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year confirmed that Strategy relies on at-the-market share sales and other securities to raise capital for further Bitcoin purchases.

    While Bitcoin has stabilized, Strategy’s stock continues to struggle. Shares are down about 56% over the past year and recently traded near $149.7. As history shows, when Bitcoin rises, Strategy’s stock often moves faster, but when Bitcoin falls, losses can deepen just as quickly.

    Michael Saylor Signals More Bitcoin Buying

    Despite recent market weakness, Strategy shows no signs of changing direction. In a recent tweet post, Michael Saylor hinted at more Bitcoin purchases through a short social media post referencing “oranges,” a signal he has used many times before.

    In the past, similar posts have often been followed by official Bitcoin purchase announcements early the following week, suggesting another buy could be coming.

    After dipping below $75K, Bitcoin has rebounded and is now trading near $76,443. This recovery has pushed Strategy back into a small unrealized profit of around 0.40% on its total Bitcoin holdings.
