Strategy Doubles Bitcoin Buying Plan To $84B Despite 1Q Loss

Strategy said it will double its capital raising plan to $84 billion to buy more Bitcoin, even after posting a record $4.2 billion loss in the first quarter.

In a May 1 earnings call, the Bitcoin buying company, previously known as MicroStrategy, reported revenues of $111.1 million for the first quarter, down 3.6% from the same quarter last year and well short of the 5% Wall Street analysts had forecast.

Strategy’s net loss of $4.2 billion, caused by an accounting revision that shows the firm’s Bitcoin holdings valued at market prices, was around $16.49 per diluted share, far above analysts’ anticipated 11 cents per share loss.

Bitcoin yield and gain are unofficial accounting metrics that Strategy uses to gauge the performance of its aggressive acquisition of the leading crypto. 

Chief Financial Officer Andrew Kang said that the goal is to boost the yield to 25%..

To achieve the higher yield and Bitcoin target, the firm said in the call that it will double its 21/21 capital raise plan to $42 billion equity and $42 billion fixed income to purchase more Bitcoin.
