Strategy’s Bitcoin Stack Swings Back To Profit After BTC Surges 22%

Strategy’s massive Bitcoin treasury has swung back into profit after BTC surged roughly 22% over five consecutive sessions, reversing billions of dollars in paper losses accumulated during the summer selloff.

The company currently holds 840,447 BTC acquired for $63.36 billion at an average price of $75,385. Bitcoin traded around $77,300 at the latest check after reaching an intraday high above $79,000, putting Strategy’s position roughly $1.6 billion above its aggregate acquisition cost.

The reversal comes only weeks after the same treasury was deeply underwater as Bitcoin traded below $60,000.

Bitcoin Rally Erases Strategy’s Paper Loss

Strategy’s cost basis became one of the clearest levels in Bitcoin’s latest breakout. BTC pushed through $79,244 after surging past $74,000 in a short squeeze that wiped out more than $3 billion in bearish crypto positions.

The move completed a dramatic turnaround from the summer drawdown. Strategy was carrying a roughly $13 billion unrealized loss when Bitcoin traded near $60,335 in June, with the gap widening again when BTC slipped below $60,000 during July.

Bitcoin has since climbed from the low-$60,000 range through $70,000, $75,000 and briefly above $79,000 as improving liquidity, stronger ETF flows, falling long-term Treasury yields and forced short covering accelerated the rebound.

The broader move has also pulled Ethereum and large-cap altcoins sharply higher. ETH jumped alongside Bitcoin as the rally broadened across the crypto market, adding spot demand beyond the initial BTC-driven squeeze.

Strategy Still Holds 840,447 BTC

Strategy’s Bitcoin balance has fallen slightly from its June peak after the company introduced BTC sales into its capital-management framework.

The latest transaction came between August 3 and August 9, when Strategy sold 1,690 BTC for $108.6 million at an average price of $64,262. The proceeds funded repurchases of STRC preferred shares, reducing the treasury to its current 840,447 BTC.

Those sales followed a difficult second quarter in which Strategy recorded an $8.22 billion net loss as falling Bitcoin prices hit its digital-asset position.

Strategy has maintained its enormous BTC exposure while building a larger dollar reserve and actively managing preferred-stock obligations rather than returning immediately to aggressive Bitcoin purchases.

$75,385 Becomes Strategy’s Breakeven Line

Bitcoin now sits above Strategy’s average acquisition price for the first time since the latest rally began, turning the company’s treasury from a multibillion-dollar paper loss into a positive position within weeks.

Every $1,000 move in Bitcoin changes the market value of Strategy’s 840,447 BTC stack by roughly $840 million, giving the company enormous sensitivity to relatively small moves around its cost basis.

At Bitcoin’s latest price near $77,300, Strategy’s BTC holdings are worth roughly $65 billion, compared with their $63.36 billion aggregate acquisition cost.
