MicroStrategy sits on $13B+ paper loss as Bitcoin drops below $60K. MSTR shares fell 8% on the week. Alpha Score 20/100 Weak. Next filing due May.
Alpha Score of 20 reflects poor overall profile with poor momentum, weak quality, weak sentiment. Based on 3 of 4 signals – score is capped at 90 until remaining data ingests.
Strategy (MSTR) is sitting on more than $13 billion in unrealized Bitcoin losses after the cryptocurrency dropped below $60,000. The figure comes from calculations using the company's latest publicly disclosed holdings and its average acquisition price.
MicroStrategy holds roughly 158,000 Bitcoin as of its most recent regulatory filing. The average purchase price per coin sits near $47,000. With Bitcoin trading around $57,800 on Friday, the paper loss on the position exceeds $13 billion.
The stock has followed Bitcoin lower. MSTR shares fell 8% on the week, bringing year-to-date losses to 22%. The company's balance sheet is effectively a leveraged proxy for Bitcoin. The selloff has widened the discount on its convertible bonds.
MicroStrategy scores a Weak 20 on AlphaScala's proprietary Alpha Score, reflecting the strain on its balance sheet from Bitcoin concentration. The company holds no debt secured directly by Bitcoin. Its $2.2 billion in convertible notes add financial risk if the selloff persists.
Bitcoin's slide accelerated after a batch of long liquidations hit the perpetual futures market early Thursday. Open interest dropped by roughly $1.5 billion in two days, according to Coinglass data. Spot ETF flows turned negative for three straight sessions, with $180 million in net outflows through Wednesday.
The $57,000 level has acted as support in previous selloffs. A break below that would put Bitcoin's 200-day moving average near $54,500 in play. For Strategy, that would push unrealized losses past $15 billion and likely trigger another round of hedging activity from the company's convertible note holders.
Strategy's next quarterly filing is due in early May. The company has not indicated any plan to sell its Bitcoin holdings. Its stated policy is to hold through market cycles.
