TradingKey – On Friday, August 1, Bitcoin-linked equity Strategy Inc. (Nasdaq: MSTR) plunged 4.82% in pre-market trading, falling to $382.51. Over the past two weeks, the stock has dropped more than 10% from its recent high near $450, despite posting record-breaking Q2 earnings.

Q2 Earnings: Massive Gains Driven by Bitcoin

Strategy’s Q2 financials were eye-popping:

Operating Income: $14.03 billion
Net Income: $10.02 billion
The surge was fueled by $14 billion in unrealized gains from its Bitcoin holdings

The company now holds 628,791 BTC, acquired at an average cost of $73,277 per coin, with total digital assets valued at $64.4 billion.

Why the Stock Is Falling

Despite stellar earnings, Strategy’s stock is under pressure due to Bitcoin’s recent price retreat:

BTC rallied from $81,000 to $108,000 in Q2, boosting unrealized gains
But since peaking on July 14, Bitcoin has pulled back, now trading near $117,740, down from its highs
This decline threatens future unrealized gains and has spooked investors, leading to a sell-off in BTC-linked equities
