Nevertheless, the company remains in the red on its BTC position.
In its latest purchase, announced a few minutes ago, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor said the company had collected 2,486 BTC for nearly $170 million at an average price of $67,710 per unit. This brings the NASDAQ-listed company’s total bitcoin fortune to 717,131 BTC, purchased at an average price of $76,027.

The cryptocurrency market’s decline in recent weeks has left Strategy’s holdings in a losing position, even as the company has repeatedly reassured that it has no plans to sell its BTC.
At a bitcoin price of $68,000 at the time of writing, Strategy’s shares are now worth less than $49 billion. In other words, the company is suffering an unrealized loss of more than $5 billion for the first time since the bear market closed in 2023.
The company’s share price has seen increased broader market volatility in recent weeks, falling from $140 to $120 last week before stabilizing around $134.
