Strategy faces $3.8 billion loss as Bitcoin sinks under $71K on Saylor’s birthday

MSTR stock tumbles amid market volatility as institutional crypto investments face mounting pressure.

Strategy, the world’s largest crypto treasury firm, has seen unrealized losses on its Bitcoin holdings reach $3.8 billion amid a sharp market downturn that drove the crypto asset below $71,000.

The recent sell-off, falling on Michael Saylor’s birthday, sparked $777 million in liquidations in 24 hours, largely from long bets.

Bitcoin has declined roughly 19% so far this year and now trades at levels last seen around the 2024 election, TradingView data shows.

Strategy holds 713,502 BTC acquired for approximately $54.3 billion at an average price of around $76,000 per coin.

MSTR shares are also under pressure, closing Wednesday down 3% at $129 and slipping further in after-hours trading. The stock has dropped over 70% since its July 2025 peak and 15% so far in 2026.
