Strategy Says Q1 Profit Doubtful Given Nearly $6 Billion in Unrealized Bitcoin Losses
Strategy, a firm based in Tysons, Virginia, announced expectations of a loss for the first quarter of 2025 due to unrealized losses on its Bitcoin holdings, totaling approximately $5.91 billion. In a filing with the SEC, the company acknowledged its reliance on its analytics software business is diminishing, particularly as it has not generated positive cash flow in recent periods. Despite the significant losses, a $1.69 billion tax benefit may provide some relief. Strategy's Bitcoin holdings remain stable at 528,185 Bitcoin, valued around $41.3 billion, having spent $7.7 billion on Bitcoin during the quarter. The company has accumulated around $35.6 billion in Bitcoin since its buying began in 2020, yet it faces challenges amidst a downturn in Bitcoin's price, which has reached a five-month low. The firm indicated it might pursue more debt or equity sales to meet financial obligations moving forward.
