Strategy posts a $12.4 billion Q4 net loss, driven almost entirely by unrealized bitcoin losses
Strategy just posted a $12.4 billion loss for the fourth quarter of 2025. That sent the stock down 18% in one trading day. The damage was driven by unrealized losses on its massive bitcoin holdings. That’s the fourth time the company is using fair value accounting for its digital assets. In the same quarter last year, Strategy only lost $670.8 million. This time, diluted loss per share came in at $42.93. The company also reported an operating loss of $17.4 billion, up from $1.0 billion last year. That full amount came from losses on digital assets. Strategy now has $2.3 billion in cash, up from just $38.1 million a year ago. The rise came from a newly created USD Reserve that is supposed to cover dividends and interest for up to 2.5 years. Capital raise adds billions as bitcoin total hits 713,502 Strategy raised $25.3 billion throughout 2025. That made it the biggest equity issuer among all public companies in the U.S. for the second straight year. By February 1, the company’s bitcoin stash had reached 713,502. It added 41,002 bitcoins in January alone. Phong Le, the company’s CEO, said they are focused on growing STRC and driving up Bitcoin Per Share for common shareholders. “STRC is now a $3.4 billion product,” said Phong. “It has stayed close to its $100 value even with the dip in bitcoin price. The current dividend is 11.25%. That payout rate is adjusted every month to keep things stable.” Andrew Kang, who handles the money side, said, “Fair value accounting, tax clarity on unrealized gains, and the return of our credit rating helped us this year. We also launched five preferred IPOs and built a $2.25 billion USD Reserve to protect our dividend.” Michael Saylor, the chairman, added, “We’re locked into bitcoin for the long run. STRC helps investors get more bitcoin, and MSTR absorbs the hit when bitcoin prices drop. The two parts work together to keep Strategy strong.” Software revenue edges higher, but support business shrinks Total revenue in Q4 2025 hit $123.0 million, a 1.9% bump from last year. Subscription services were $51.8 million, up 62.1%. Licenses and subscriptions pulled in $59.6 million, up 26.3%. But product support dropped to $48.5 million, a 16.9% fall. Other services made $14.9 million, down slightly. Gross profit was $81.3 million, which gave the company a margin of 66.1%, down from 71.7% the year before. Source: Strategy Bitcoin performance was strong on paper. The company got a 22.8% BTC yield for the full year, which was right inside its expected range. It also gained 101,873 bitcoins in total. That translated into a bitcoin dollar gain of $8.9 billion, using the year-end price of around $87,515. Strategy said its average buy price was $76,052, while the market price on January 30 was about $83,740. Stock offerings fuel dividends and fund preferred share sales Strategy pulled in $5.6 billion during Q4 2025, and added another $3.9 billion between January 1 and February 1, 2026. The biggest part came from common stock sales. The ATM program raised $4.4 billion in Q4, followed by $3.4 billion in early 2026. The company still has $8.1 billion left to use under that plan. On the preferred side, STRK brought in $33.8 million in Q4 and another $3.4 million after. STRF added $99.5 million during Q4. STRD raised $136.6 million, while STRC raised $157.6 million in Q4 and a huge $421.0 million between January and February. The company still has $3.6 billion available for STRC issuance. In November 2025, Strategy also did a European IPO for STRE stock. That brought in €620.0 million, which came to about $716.8 million using a euro to dollar exchange rate of 1.1561. The company priced the shares at €80.00 each, and sold 7,750,000 of them. STRC dividends went up every single month since launch. In July and August, the rate was 9.00%, with a $0.80 payout. That jumped to 11.25%, with February’s payment set at $0.94 per share. The USD Reserve that funds those dividends now holds $2.25 billion, enough for about two and a half years of payouts. Strategy said it will adjust the reserve based on what the market looks like and how much cash it needs. The smartest crypto minds already read our newsletter. Want in? Join them .

If XRP Were to Hit $1,000, Will You Sell or Hold Forever? XRP Army Reacts
Speculation around astronomical cryptocurrency prices often sparks intense debate and excitement. When a token like XRP is imagined at $1,000 per coin , it prompts questions about strategy, wealth preservation, and the psychology of holding an asset capable of redefining financial freedom. Such discussions reveal not only market sentiment but also the mindset and priorities of the community driving adoption. Crypto commentator XRP CAPTAIN recently ignited this conversation by asking the XRP Army a simple yet provocative question: if XRP reached $1,000 per coin , would holders sell or retain their positions indefinitely? The post quickly drew a wide array of responses, showcasing the diversity of thought among one of crypto’s most passionate and committed communities. If #XRP were to hit 1,000$ per coin will you sell or hold it forever? — XRP CAPTAIN (@UniverseTwenty) February 4, 2026 Diverse Approaches to Extreme Valuations The responses highlighted a range of strategies. ZeGermanDude expressed skepticism about XRP ever reaching $1,000 but suggested selling half to diversify into tangible assets like gold and real estate. DSYarbrough78 emphasized the potential for passive income from staking or lending, indicating that decisions would depend on metrics yet to be defined. These approaches reflect a more measured, risk-aware perspective even amid extreme optimism. Other community members revealed unwavering conviction. XRP Gold God and Micah Phaup emphasized holding most—or all—of their XRP indefinitely, exemplifying the “HODL for life” mindset that has become synonymous with long-term crypto believers. Dan Lane combined caution with loyalty, proposing a minimal sale while retaining nearly the entire portfolio. In contrast, O. Hamza shared that he had already sold most of his holdings, keeping only a fraction to maintain exposure.

The conversation underscores that the community increasingly treats crypto not just as a speculative asset , but as a component of broader financial strategy, balancing potential gains with risk exposure. Implications for XRP’s Long-Term Narrative While $1,000 per coin remains speculative, the debate highlights the resilience and commitment of XRP’s holder base. Their varied approaches demonstrate a community capable of supporting the token through market volatility and adoption phases. Conversations like these also shape perceptions of XRP’s long-term potential, reinforcing the social and psychological pillars that sustain engagement and confidence in the ecosystem. XRP CAPTAIN’s post goes beyond a simple poll—it offers a window into the priorities, strategies, and loyalty of one of crypto’s most dedicated communities, illustrating how holders envision navigating extreme outcomes while balancing conviction, planning, and the pursuit of life-changing gains.
