MicroStrategy Takes A $917 Million Impairment Loss On Its Bitcoin Stash As Crypto Prices Tumble

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.

Antradienio pranešime bendrovė taip pat atskleidė, kad Michaelas Sayloras, kuris ėjo generalinio direktoriaus ir valdybos pirmininko pareigas nuo MicroStrategy įkūrimo 1989 m. ir jos paskelbimo 1998 m., atsistatydina ir pradės eiti naujas vykdomojo pirmininko pareigas. Phong Le, kuris ėjo prezidento pareigas nuo 2020 m., be kitų vadovaujančių pareigų, pakeis Saylorą prezidento ir generalinio direktoriaus pareigose.

"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.” Saylor pasakė. “As Executive Chairman I will be able to focus more on our bitcoin įsigijimo strategija ir susiję 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 pozicija.

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. “turime daugiau nei pakankamai užstato bet kokiam kainų svyravimui“, - sakė Kangas.

Nuo 2020 m., kai įmonė pradėjo pirkti kriptovaliutą, ji tęsė buy more 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 valdos, dempingo apie 75 proc. savo akcijų, kad įmonės veikla išliktų. Tačiau Michaelas Sayloras tvirtino, kad neketina parduoti savo monetų ir toliau pirks daugiau, kai leis pinigų srautai. 

Rašymo metu Bitcoin is at $23,056 after a 1.90% increase in the past 24 hours based on data from CoinMarketCap.
