Strategy Inc. faces $6.85 bn unrealized Bitcoin loss as MSCI removes its stock from U.S. benchmark

Strategy Inc. (MSTR) holds 850,364 BTC bought for $64.16 bn at an average cost of $75,456 per coin. With Bitcoin trading around $67,400, the treasury shows an estimated $6.85 bn paper loss. MSCI announced the company will be dropped from the MSCI USA Index on Nov. 30, which could force index‑funds to sell MSTR shares. The firm also disclosed a recent purchase of 1,036 BTC at $79,012 each, already underwater, and retains $4.9 bn in USD assets to cover dividend obligations.

The unrealized loss reduces the net asset value of Strategy’s balance sheet and may pressure the stock price, while the MSCI removal could trigger forced selling by index funds, further depressing MSTR shares (the company warned that about 3.1% of its shares are held by MSCI‑tracked funds).
