Strategy posts $8.2B Q2 loss as Bitcoin slump drives unrealized losses

The Bitcoin treasury company said it has built a $3.75 billion cash reserve to support preferred stock payouts following the launch of its BTC monetization program.

Strategy reported an $8.22 billion second-quarter net loss, driven primarily by an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on its Bitcoin holdings as the cryptocurrency’s price declined during the quarter.

As of July 26, Strategy held 843,775 Bitcoin (BTC), up 25% from the beginning of the year. The company also disclosed that it had sold approximately $218.4 million worth of Bitcoin under its newly established BTC monetization program to help fund a portion of its preferred stock dividend obligations. Most of those sales ($216 million) occurred in early July after the second quarter ended.

Strategy also said it has built a $3.75 billion U.S. dollar reserve, enough to cover more than two years of preferred dividend payments and interest obligations. The company recently repurchased $25 million of its STRC preferred shares at a discount to par and said it intends to continue buying the securities while they trade below $100.
