MicroStrategy Q1 Operating Loss of $53.1M After Bitcoin Holdings Impairment Charge of $191.6M

MicroStrategy (MSTR) reported a net operating loss of $53.1 million, or $3.09 per share, in the first quarter after taking a digital asset impairment charge of $191.6 million, according to a Monday afternoon press release.

While some had expected the company might adopt the new fair value accounting standard, and thus report a sizable profit thanks to bitcoin’s (BTC) first quarter rally, the company elected not to do so. By the old standard, MicroStrategy at quarter’s end valued its bitcoin holdings at a price of $23,680 each rather than March’s closing price of $71,028.

    MicroStrategy will hold a conference call to discuss the results at 5 pm ET.
