Strategy Flips Bitcoin Loss to Profit in One Week
Strategy's Bitcoin holdings flipped from a $13B loss to a $1.4B profit in a single week.
The update
Strategy’s massive Bitcoin treasury has turned a corner. The company holds 840,447 BTC, acquired at an average price of $75,385. Bitcoin’s recent rally pushed the asset above that average, generating roughly $1.4 billion in unrealized gains. This marks a sharp reversal from July, when the same holdings were about $13 billion underwater.
Why it matters
The swing to profitability comes as Bitcoin surges nearly 23% over five consecutive days, its strongest run in months. Strategy’s stock has responded, rising roughly 10% in pre-market trading to $120, its highest level in two months. The turnaround follows a shift in the company’s treasury management, including recent Bitcoin sales and share offerings to fund dividends and reserves.
What to watch
Investors will closely watch if the Clarity Act’s passage accelerates Bitcoin’s rally, which could further boost Strategy’s unrealized gains. The proposed legislation would establish a federal framework for digital assets and divide oversight between the CFTC and SEC.
