Microstrategy is one such company which is holding a large number of Bitcoin. With the report for quarterly earnings shortly, investors are anxiously waiting for the report’s release,, which will be more like a statement on its crypto strategy. The company has already incurred a 50% unforeseen loss over all the investments it has made to buy Bitcoin. Last week, after months of stagnation, Bitcoin finally broke through the $20K mark and provided much relief to investors after a prolonged crypto winter.

Unrealized Loss On Microstrategy Bitcoin Investment

However, the present value of Bitcoin is far below the prices last year when Bitcoin (BTC) was on a dream bull run. The prolonged bearish winter afflicting the crypto sector has left a large section of Bitcoin investors badly bruised,. The same can be said for the companies like Microstrategy Bitcoin Investments.
