Strategy Reports $12.4B Fourth Quarter Loss As Bitcoin Falls

The Bitcoin buying company Strategy reported a net loss of $12.4 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, driven down by Bitcoinโ€™s 22% fall over the quarter.

Bitcoin (BTC) reached a peak high of $126,000 in early October, but tumbled over the quarter ending Dec. 31 to under $88,500. Bitcoin is down 30% so far this year to $64,500, below Strategyโ€™s average cost per BTC of $76,052.

Strategy (MSTR) said on Thursday that, despite the loss, its Q4 revenues rose 1.9% year-on-year to $123 million, driven in part by its business intelligence arm. However, the recent Bitcoin sell-off saw its shares close 17% lower on Thursday to $107.

Bitcoinโ€™s latest tumble pushed it to a low of $62,500 on Thursday, leaving Strategy down 17.5% on its 713,502 Bitcoin holdings.

Strategy on strong financial footing, says finance boss

Despite the massive quarterly loss, Strategy chief financial officer Andrew Kang said in a statement that the companyโ€™s capital structure remains โ€œstronger and more resilient today than ever before.โ€

โ€œStrategy has built a digital fortress anchored by 713,502 Bitcoins and our shift to Digital Credit, which aligns with our indefinite Bitcoin horizon.โ€

The company boosted its cash holdings to $2.25 billion in Q4, covering 30 months of dividend payouts, signaling financial strength despite the market downturn.

Strategy also has no major debt maturing until 2027, meaning it isnโ€™t under immediate pressure to repay borrowings and may not be forced to liquidate Bitcoin to meet obligations in the near term.
