The Bitcoin treasury giant is sitting on roughly $1.4 billion in unrealized gains after Bitcoin climbed above its average acquisition price.

Strategy Swings From $13 Billion Bitcoin Loss to $1.4 Billion Profit as BTC Rallies

Strategy Inc, formerly MicroStrategy, has seen its Bitcoin holdings swing from a loss to a profit. The company's treasury of 840,447 Bitcoins, roughly 4% of the cryptocurrency's outstanding supply, was previously valued at a multi-billion-dollar loss. According to Motley Fool, the average acquisition price of these Bitcoins was $75,385.

The recent surge in Bitcoin's price, which has risen by more than 20% to above $77,000, has turned the company's unrealized loss into a profit of around $1.4 billion, as reported by Decrypt. This significant change in valuation comes after Bitcoin's price had fallen to a multi-month low of around $63,000.

The company's revenue from enterprise software sales was $477 million last year, but its stock price movements are often driven by the value of its Bitcoin holdings, currently valued at roughly $65 billion. The company began purchasing Bitcoin in 2020 at around $11,000, with its highest recorded purchase price being roughly $123,000 in 2025, as per Motley Fool.
