Business Intelligence firm MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) which has built a huge Bitcoin position on its balance sheet has seen the valuation of its holdings eroding by 25%. As of its latest filing with the U.S. SEC, MicroStrategy has amassed 130,000 Bitcoins for an aggregated investment of $3.97 billion.
The firm led by CEO Michael Saylor has been aggregating BTC since August 2020 with its current average price at $30,700 as of March 31. Amid a brutal market correction over the last four days, the BTC price has crashed to $22,000.
Thus, the aggregate value of its Bitcoin holdings is currently at $3 billion with losses surmounting $1 billion. However, despite all the market turmoil, company CRO Michael Saylor is absolutely unfazed.
During his recent interview, said that his company would never sell Bitcoins and would even continue to buy at the top. Furthermore, he also has a very strong conviction that the Bitcoin price is going to a million over the next decade.
