MicroStrategy Books Impairment Charge of $24.1M on Massive Bitcoin Holdings in Q2

MicroStrategy has reported an impairment charge of $24.1 million on its bitcoin holdings in the second quarter, reflecting the decline in the price of bitcoin compared to its acquisition cost. The company's digital asset impairment is required under accounting rules and does not account for any increase in value unless assets are sold. Despite this charge, MicroStrategy's bitcoin holdings have increased to 152,800 bitcoins worth approximately $4.5 billion. The company also reported revenue of $120.4 million, falling short of analyst estimates.

  • Analysis: MicroStrategy’s BTC purchases offset German government selling pressure

    Some analysts believe that the German government's massive sale of Bitcoin is the reason for the sluggish cryptocurrency market. In addition, traders are concerned that the stock market may have peaked and that the US fiscal situation is weakening. According to previous monitoring by the on-chain crypto analysis company Arkham, a wallet related to the German government transferred 6,500 BTC to exchanges on June 19th, worth $425 million at the time. The wallet holds nearly 50,000 BTC, reportedly seized from the pirated movie website Movie2k that has been operating since 2013. Data shows that these BTC were sent to Kraken, Bitstamp, and Coinbase. However, MicroStrategy disclosed that it has purchased an additional 11,931 BTC for $786 million, which offsets the selling pressure.
