1. Bitcoin Holdings Trigger Major Unrealized Loss
By June 22, Strategy held 847,363 BTC at an average cost of $75,651 per coin, resulting in a $14.46 billion fair-value loss and a $12.54 billion net loss in Q1 2026 under the latest accounting standard.
2. Market-to-Net Asset Value Dips Below One
Strategy’s mNAV ratio slipped to 0.99 for the first time in its history, eliminating the premium that previously boosted its share price and making new equity issuance more challenging.
3. Cash Reserves and Dividend Coverage Strain
With approximately $1.4 billion in USD reserves against $1.71 billion in annual dividend obligations, the company now has only 9.8 months of cash runway unless further Bitcoin is sold.
4. Increased Dilution Risk for Shareholders
Issuing new shares at or below net asset value dilutes existing owners, reducing each shareholder’s claim on Strategy’s Bitcoin holdings and raising concerns over funding the flywheel model.
