As Bitcoin dropped below ~$70,000, two major corporate crypto treasury holders ā Michael Saylorās Strategy and Tom Leeās BitMine Immersion Technologies ā are now facing massive paper losses on their holdings.
š» Strategy (BTC holdings):
⢠Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, holds about 713,502 BTC on its balance sheet at an average cost near ~$76,000 per coin.
⢠With Bitcoin sliding under ~$71,000, the companyās Bitcoin stack has moved into unrealized losses, estimated in several reports to be in the multi-billion dollar range (several hundred million to several billion, depending on exact price).
⢠Strategyās stock (MSTR) has also underperformed, reflecting the value hit to its Bitcoin treasury.
š» BitMine Immersion (ETH holdings):
⢠BitMine ā chaired by Tom Lee ā holds a large Ethereum treasury, with roughly 4.28ā4.3 million ETH.
⢠Because Ethereumās price has fallen sharply from higher levels, BitMineās unrealized loss on ETH exceeds several billion dollars ā with estimates north of $6 billion in paper losses on the position.
⢠The firm continues to accumulate ETH despite the drawdown, signaling a long-term accumulation thesis from its leadership.
š” Market Context:
⢠These unrealized losses happen because both firms acquired their crypto treasuries at higher prices ā BTC and ETH have both retraced significantly since late 2025.
⢠Paper losses donāt mean actual cash outflow ā theyāre unrealized and only impact balance-sheet valuation unless assets are sold.
⢠Both groups remain committed to their long-term strategy, still holding and even adding to their positions amid volatility.
š In simple terms:
Bitcoin and Ethereumās recent downturn has pushed widely held corporate crypto treasuries into huge paper losses ā a reminder that big balance sheets tied to digital assets can be volatile, even if long-term conviction remains.
