MicroStrategy's Bitcoin losses reach $7.9 billion; Saylor: as long as BTC doesn't go to zero, it will head toward a million!

BTC-1,82%

Bitcoin Reserve Strategy Pioneer MicroStrategy (originally MicroStrategy) has once again increased its position, purchasing 592 more Bitcoins, bringing the total holdings to 717,722 BTC, with an unrealized loss of $7.9 billion. Founder Michael Saylor stated that we may currently be in a crypto winter, but the current situation is better than previous cycles and conditions for recovery are already in place. He optimistically declared: If Bitcoin doesn’t go to zero, it will be worth a million!

Strategy Adds to Bitcoin Holdings, Total Now 717,722 BTC

This time, Strategy raised $39.7 million through the issuance of common stock MSTR and acquired 592 Bitcoins at an average cost of $67,286 each. As of February 23, 2026, Strategy holds a total of 717,722 Bitcoins, with a total cost of $54.56 billion and an average cost of $76,020 per Bitcoin.

Holding 3.4% of Bitcoin, Unrealized Losses Reach $7.9 Billion

Based on a fixed cap of 21 million Bitcoins, MicroStrategy owns over 3.4% of the total supply. Its unrealized losses have reached $7.9 billion (estimated at Bitcoin’s current price of $65K).

MSTR Falls to a Year-and-a-Half Low, mNAV Rises to 1.2

As Bitcoin continues to weaken, MicroStrategy’s stock (MSTR) also dropped to its lowest since September 2024. According to official data, its mNAV (the ratio of current stock price to the value of its Bitcoin holdings) has slightly increased to 1.2, likely due to recent issuance of preferred shares to raise capital, reducing the dilution of Bitcoin per share.

Saylor: This Crypto Winter Is Milder Than Before, Not Going to Zero Means a Million

Having survived multiple crypto winters, founder Michael Saylor remains confident, stating that we may currently be in a crypto winter, but the situation is better than previous cycles and conditions for recovery are already in place. He pointed out that banks are supporting Bitcoin more than four years ago, and the digital asset ecosystem continues to attract capital and make technological progress. He also said:

If Bitcoin doesn’t go to zero, it will be worth a million!

BTC 15-minute slight increase +0.02%: Panic marginal recovery and quantitative capital short-term resonance driving the move

2026-02-24 03:00 to 03:15 (UTC), BTC price recorded a K-line return of +0.02% after a period of high volatility. The short-term performance was a slight oscillation with a slight upward trend, and market attention continued to be cautious under the previous macro and regulatory pressures. Trading volume significantly declined compared to the previous day, volatility reached a low point in the stage, and the overall market trend was mainly sideways. The main driving force behind this anomaly was the marginal recovery after extreme panic the previous day, as well as active intervention by quantitative funds and high-frequency arbitrage strategies. On February 23, macro events such as the US imposing additional tariffs and regulatory policies remaining undecided triggered a short-term reaction in BTC.
