The Market Context

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing volatility. The price of Bitcoin dropped below $75,000 in early February, exposing the company to up to $1 billion in unrealized losses.

However, the recent purchase marks Strategy’s long-term belief in Bitcoin. The company remains committed to improving its Bitcoin holdings, and its Executive Chairman, Michael Saylor, remains bullish on BTC.
