"MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Bet: Why the Company is Still Buying Despite $53 Million Loss
MicroStrategy, a business intelligence and analytics software platform, has been aggressively collecting Bitcoins for years, despite recently reporting a $53 million loss. The company's determination to continue buying Bitcoin raises questions about its strategy.
In Q1, MicroStrategy reported a net operating loss of $3.09 per share, attributed to a digital asset impairment charge of $191.6 million. However, the company's total revenue of $115.2 million was only 5% lower year-over-year.
MicroStrategy's refusal to adopt the new digital asset fair value accounting standard meant it didn't reflect the profit from the Bitcoin price rally in Q1 2024. Instead, it used previous accounting standards, valuing its Bitcoin holdings at $5.1 billion instead of the current $15.2 billion.
Despite this, MicroStrategy's CFO, Andrew Kang, announced the company will adopt the new accounting rule soon. The company has already acquired 25,250 Bitcoin this year for $1.65 billion, with an average buying price of $65,232.
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings now total 214,400 BTC, worth $13.58 billion at the current price. The company has invested over $7 billion in Bitcoin since August 2020, with a long-term goal of diversifying its investments and generating profits.
If the predicted Bitcoin bull run pushes prices to $100,000, MicroStrategy's gains will be substantial. The company's unwavering commitment to Bitcoin is a testament to its belief in the cryptocurrency's potential."
