Strategy has a special place in the crypto community. When the company first entered the Bitcoin market, few public firms were willing to take the risk. But under Michael Saylor’s leadership, Strategy adopted an aggressive Bitcoin investment strategy. Today, it holds 499,096 BTC.
The company made headlines when Bitcoin briefly crossed the $100K milestone. However, since February 4, BTC has not closed above this level. The price now stands at $88,724.95, down 11.26% from its peak. This raises an important question – has Bitcoin’s decline affected Strategy’s stock? And has Saylor’s strategy hit a roadblock?
Strategy’s Dollar-Cost Averaging Approach
Strategy follows a Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy, where it buys Bitcoin in regular intervals instead of making one large purchase. This explains why the company bought BTC even when prices were between $95K and $106K.
However, Bitcoin has dropped significantly since its peak of $106K—down 16.28% overall.
- In early February, BTC traded at $100,621.97.
- On February 2, it briefly closed above $101,305.27.
- February 3 saw a 3.49% drop.
- Between February 5 and 23, BTC stayed between $98,290.71 and $95,678.10.
- On February 24, it fell below this range, dropping 12.48% in three days.
- Although BTC rebounded 11.77% between March 1 and 2, it failed to recover completely.
- On March 3, BTC saw another 8.49% decline.
Now, Bitcoin is still struggling to get back above $100K.
Strategy’s $1 Billion Unrealized Loss
Because of its aggressive buying, Strategy is now facing $1 billion in unrealized losses. The biggest loss came from a $1.11 billion Bitcoin purchase at an average price of $105,596 per BTC.
The company’s most recent Bitcoin purchase was on February 24, when it bought 20,356 BTC for $1.99 billion. Currently, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings are worth $44.63 billion.
If Bitcoin doesn’t recover soon, Strategy might have to reassess its approach. Will Saylor continue to buy more, or will the company take a different route? For now, all eyes are on Bitcoin’s next move.
