#SaylorBTCPurchase In the first quarter of 2025, Strategy reported a net loss of $4.217 billion, or $16.49 per share, amid a decline in Bitcoin price to around $82,445 by the end of March. However, the company completed a $21 billion stock issuance through an 'ATM' mechanism, adding 301,335 new Bitcoin units to its portfolio, which exceeded 553,555 coins, to reaffirm its commitment to a long-term accumulation strategy.
Impact of Fair Value Accounting
The company applied fair value accounting standards for the first time in this quarter, resulting in an unrealized loss of $5.9 billion on digital assets within $6.0 billion in total operating expenses. Thanks to this new accounting method, $12.7 billion was added to retained earnings, strengthening the company's financial position despite operational losses.
Market Movements and Reactions
The price of Bitcoin rose again to around $97,300 in early May, giving Strategy unrealized gains estimated at around $8 billion in the second quarter.
The stock of Strategy (MSTR) jumped nearly 50% during the stock offering, then fell back by 2.3% as investor sentiment varied between optimism and caution regarding dilution risks.
Risks and Challenges
Bitcoin Price Volatility: If the price remains below the portfolio cost (~$68,459), long-term losses may worsen.
Potential Dilution: Repeated stock issuances may reduce the stakes of existing investors if the price does not rebound quickly.
Strategic Opportunities
Leadership in the 'Bitcoin Treasury' Model: More than 70 public companies have adopted this strategy, enhancing Strategy's position as a market leader.
Integration with ETF Funds: Growth in spot Bitcoin fund flows adds institutional liquidity that may support the price in the future.
