Bitcoin (BTC) Drop Forces Strategy Into $8,220,000,000 Quarterly Loss While Cash Reserves Grow
Bitcoin’s (BTC) price decline forces Michael Saylor’s Strategy into an $8.22 billion net loss for the second quarter.
The loss stems mainly from an $8.32 billion unrealized hit on its Bitcoin trove as the flagship cryptocurrency fell during the period, says Strategy.
The company expanded its holdings to 843,775 BTC by late July with an average purchase price near $75,476 per Bitcoin.
Strategy sold roughly $218.4 million worth of the cryptocurrency under a new monetization plan to help fund preferred stock dividends.
It also accumulated a $3.75 billion cash reserve that covers more than two years of dividend and interest payments.
