MicroStrategy Mengalami Kerugian Penurunan Nilai $917 Juta Bitcoin Simpanan Saat Harga Crypto Jatuh
MicroStrategy, the largest bitcoin holding-publicly-traded company in the world, took a non-cash digital asset impairment charge in the third quarter, up from $424 million in the second quarter, the latest filings have shown.
Dalam pengumuman hari Selasa, perusahaan juga mengungkapkan bahwa Michael Saylor, yang telah menjabat sebagai Chief Executive Officer dan Ketua Dewan sejak mendirikan MicroStrategy pada tahun 1989 dan mengumumkannya kepada publik pada tahun 1998, mengundurkan diri untuk mengambil peran baru sebagai Executive Chairman. Phong Le, yang menjabat sebagai presiden sejak 2020, di antara posisi eksekutif lainnya, akan menggantikan Saylor sebagai Presiden & Chief Executive Officer.
"I believe that splitting the roles of Chairman and CEO will enable us to better pursue our two corporate strategies of acquiring and holding bitcoin and growing our enterprise analytics software business.” Kata Sayor. “As Executive Chairman I will be able to focus more on our bitcoin strategi akuisisi dan terkait bitcoin advocacy initiatives, while Phong will be empowered as CEO to manage overall corporate operations.”
The latest filing and subsequent shake-up in the company’s top leadership come on the heels of the company falling in the red on its Bitcoin stash following a brutal crypto winter. Nevertheless, Michael Saylor has maintained that the company is ready to face the challenging market conditions and defend its Bitcoin posisi.
MicroStrategy’s CFO Andrew Kang echoed those sentiments in an earnings conference call, stating that the company has about 85,000 unpledged Bitcoin available should its obligations to Silvergate bank fall due. “kami memiliki lebih dari cukup jaminan untuk setiap volatilitas harga,” kata Kang.
Sejak perusahaan mulai membeli cryptocurrency pada tahun 2020, itu terus berlanjut beli lebih banyak Bitcoin, with the total stash value swelling to about $8 billion when BTC tapped $68,000 in November 2021. As of writing, it holds some 129,699 bitcoins with an average cost of $30,664 per bitcoin. However, the market value of those holdings has dropped to roughly $3.03 billion today, with BTC plunging hard in the past ten months.
Last month, Tesla, another prominent company with sizeable Bitcoin saham, dibuang sekitar 75% kepemilikannya untuk menjaga operasi perusahaan tetap berjalan. Michael Saylor, bagaimanapun, menyatakan bahwa mereka tidak berniat menjual koin mereka dan akan terus membeli lebih banyak karena arus kas mengizinkan.
Saat menulis, Bitcoin is at $23,056 after a 1.90% increase in the past 24 hours based on data from CoinMarketCap.
