Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy reported a massive widening of its fourth-quarter losses in its earnings call on February 5, 2026, as the company’s heavy bet on Bitcoin backfired amid a prolonged downturn in the digital asset market. The Virginia-based firm, which remains the world’s largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency, saw its losses swell to $12.4 billion, or $42.93 per share, for the three months ending December 31. This staggering figure stands in stark contrast to the $670.8 million loss reported during the same period in 2024, reflecting the intense volatility and downward pressure currently affecting the crypto sector. The company’s financial health is inextricably linked to the price of Bitcoin, and the recent quarter proved particularly brutal. As of early February, MicroStrategy held 713,502 Bitcoins at an average cost of $76,052 per coin. However, with Bitcoin trading around $63,140, the company’s holdings are significantly under water. This price stagnation follows a historic crash in October 2024, when the asset lost nearly half its value from a peak near $120,000, triggered by a massive washout of leveraged positions and a cooling of investor enthusiasm. Market sentiment has been further dampened by a shift in the U.S. macroeconomic landscape, specifically the nomination of Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair. Analysts suggest that Warsh’s leadership could signal a contraction of the Fed’s balance sheet, a move that typically drains liquidity and hurts risk-sensitive assets like cryptocurrencies. Consequently, spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced massive outflows totaling approximately $9 billion across November and December, indicating that institutional investors are retreating in favor of safer havens. Despite the deepening red ink, Executive Chairman Michael Saylor remains steadfast in his long-term vision. During the post-earnings call, Saylor emphasized that the fundamental involvement of major banks and financial regulators continues to provide a tailwind for corporate adoption. He dismissed immediate concerns regarding federal policy shifts, asserting that while policy interpretation is beyond the company's remit, the underlying trend toward digital asset integration remains intact. Nevertheless, MicroStrategy’s stock has borne the brunt of investor anxiety, falling nearly 30% since the start of the year.
