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.

Në një njoftim të së martës, kompania zbuloi gjithashtu se Michael Saylor, i cili ka shërbyer si Kryeshefi Ekzekutiv dhe Kryetar i Bordit që nga themelimi i MicroStrategy në 1989 dhe marrja e tij publike në 1998, po jepte dorëheqjen për të marrë një rol të ri si Kryetar Ekzekutiv. Phong Le, i cili ka shërbyer si president që nga viti 2020, ndër postet e tjera ekzekutive, do të zëvendësojë Saylor si President dhe Drejtor Ekzekutiv.

"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.” tha Saylor. “As Executive Chairman I will be able to focus more on our bitcoin acquisition strategy and related 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 pozicion.

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. “ne kemi kolateral më shumë se të mjaftueshëm për çdo luhatshmëri çmimesh”, tha Kang.

Që kur kompania filloi të blejë kriptomonedhën në vitin 2020, ajo ka vazhduar Bli me shume 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 pronat, hedhur rreth 75% të zotërimeve të saj për të mbajtur në këmbë operacionet e kompanisë. Megjithatë, Michael Saylor ka pohuar se ata nuk kanë ndërmend të shesin monedhat e tyre dhe do të vazhdojnë të blejnë më shumë pasi flukset monetare lejojnë. 

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