MicroStrategy Expected To Report Profit Despite Down Quarter for Crypto: Preview

MicroStrategy reports fourth quarter results Thursday with the company expected to turn a profit after several down quarters even as revenue comes in slightly lower than a year earlier. 

The software firm, better known in recent years for its bet on bitcoin, is expected to report revenue of $131 million for the fourth quarter, according to the average estimate compiled by FactSet. The compares to $134.5 million a year earlier. 

Net income is estimated at $10.7 million, which would be the first time MicroStrategy has posted a profit since the fourth quarter of 2020. 

A revenue decline would halt a string of three quarters of growth, but would come amid a tough quarter for the crypto world that saw FTX collapse and bitcoin drop to around $17,000 compared to its November 2021 high of $69,000.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.

  • 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.
