In other words, the firm stands in an unrealized loss of over $5 billion for the first time since the 2023 bear-market closure.<\/p>\n The company\u2019s stock price experienced heightened broader market volatility over the past few weeks, falling from $140 to $120 last week before stabilizing at around $134.<\/p>\n The post 2,486 BTC: Strategy Doubles Down as Portfolio Hits Unrealized Loss<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The world\u2019s largest corporate holder of bitcoin has used the current market slump as an opportunity to increase its BTC portfolio at prices of under $70,000.
