Strategy Bitcoin Loss Is Making Many Investors Feel More Worried

However, there are many news right now in the market that are negatively affecting Bitcoin price, and one of those reports is about the strategy company. As we know, Strategy buys a large amount of Bitcoin and right now they own around 847,000 Bitcoin, which they bought at an average price of $75,600. But Bitcoin is now trading at around $60,000. Because of this, the company has a paper loss of more than 13 billion dollars. As a result, the price of its shares has also fallen. On June 30, they have their dividend reset date, and investors believe the company may increase its dividend so that more people will buy its shares.

Many analysts say that Strategy should slow down its Bitcoin purchases and keep more cash in order to reduce risk. Some experts say the company success still depends on Bitcoin price movement.
