Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin Bet: Losing Less, But Still Losing!

by

Strategy Inc. has started trimming some of the losses incurred when the leading crypto asset, Bitcoin (BTC), dipped to a monthly low of $62,553. The bearish outlook of Bitcoin and unrealized losses had reignited criticism of Michael Saylor’s use of Bitcoin as a hedge. Ah, the thrill of watching your company’s stock plummet while you’re still trying to convince yourself that “hodling” is a legitimate career path.

Bitcoin rebound cuts Strategy’s massive drawdown

However, CoinMarketCap data signals that Strategy’s portfolio has improved significantly by 8.7% as Bitcoin regained the $74,000 level. Notably, the price of BTC soared from a low of $71,282.33 to an intraday peak of $74,395.78. Well, well, well! It seems the cryptocurrency gods have finally decided to grant Strategy Inc. a reprieve, if only for a moment.

That massive surge proved sufficient to minimize Strategy’s losses on the crypto investment market. The business intelligence firm currently holds a total of 738,731 BTC as of its last acquisition. The average price of each Bitcoin cost Strategy $75,862. At an average price of $75,862, Strategy is now technically “in the money”-if you consider a $10 billion loss a temporary setback.

Hence, with Bitcoin plummeting to a monthly low of $62,533, Strategy’s drawdown was approximately $10 billion at $9,846,545,499. So, there’s that $10 billion loss. A mere drop in the bucket, really, considering the company’s previous investments. But hey, at least they’re not drowning anymore-just wading through the financial equivalent of a swamp.

However, with a renewed rally from the leading digital asset, Strategy has been able to trim a huge chunk of that loss. Although the firm is still in troubled waters, it is no longer neck-deep in losses, as Bitcoin’s price is gradually climbing to the firm’s average buying price per coin. It’s like watching a slow-moving train wreck-fascinating, but you’re still not sure if you’re the conductor or the cargo.

It is worth mentioning that the volatility of Bitcoin remains a troubling concern, and until BTC stabilizes above $80,000, investors might continue to express concerns. Of course, the real question is whether Bitcoin will ever stop being a rollercoaster. Until it hits $80k, we’ll all be on edge, waiting for the next “unexpected” dip.

Michael Saylor maintains long-term “Bitcoin Over Everything” vision

As of this writing, Bitcoin has slipped and exchanges hands at $73,242.51, which represents a 1.92% increase in the last 24 hours. A modest victory, but a victory nonetheless. Within the same time frame, trading volume has soared by 93.66% to $40.84 billion as institutional interest reignites, creating sustained buying pressure. Institutional investors finally realizing that Bitcoin isn’t just a fad… or is it?

The uptick has also revived the interest of traders, who buy whenever there is a rally and do not want to miss out on potential profits. The kind of behavior that makes you wonder if they’ve ever heard of the phrase “sell in May and go away.”

Bitcoin’s rebound move validates Michael Saylor’s unwavering belief in the maxim, “Bitcoin over everything.” The Bitcoin optimist has continued to remain positive that the asset will reclaim previous price levels. This has fueled his regular purchase of Bitcoin as Strategy chases a one million BTC portfolio. So, while the rest of us are busy trying to make sense of the market, Saylor is out there buying Bitcoin like it’s the last bread in the store. And honestly, who are we to argue with a man who’s clearly seen the future… or at least a very well-timed Twitter post?
