Over the years, the company has collected Bitcoin worth billions and swore to continue doing it for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the company has revealed a loss of $53 Million, but the determination of Bitcoin collection stands correct. So, why MicroStrategy is buying Bitcoin? Let us discuss that in this blog.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>In Monday\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/assets.contentstack.io\/v3\/assets\/bltb564490bc5201f31\/blt18300cbd01bc3704\/662ff88b51b16f0d88c50de2\/microstrategy-announces-first-quarter-2024-financial-results-now-holds-214400-btc_04-29-2024.pdf\">press reports<\/a>, MicroStrategy mentioned a net operating loss of $3.09 per share, which comes to a total of $53 Million in losses. The announcements mentioned the main cause behind this loss to be the digital asset impairment charge, which is $191.6 million. The financial reports also revealed a total revenue of $115.2 million, which is low by 5% year-over-year.<\/p>\n<p>The company had refused to implement the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/fasb-introduces-fair-value-crypto-accounting-standards\/\">new digital asset fair value accounting standard<\/a>, which would have highlighted the profit because of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/blog\/pre-halving-bitcoin-price-rally\/\">Bitcoin price rally<\/a> in the first quarter of 2024. For the calculations, MicroStrategy had used previous accounting standards, which attribute the Bitcoin price to be at $23,680, bringing the total to 5.1 billion instead of the March closing value of $71,028, which could have made the total MicroStrategy Bitcoin holding worth $15.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>However, the MicroStrategy CFO, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/dogecoin-price-jumps-20-andrew-kang-bets-doge-etf-launch\/\">Andrew Kang<\/a>, has revealed that the company will adopt the new digital asset fair value accounting rule soon. He believes the current time is the best time to start following the new strategy. However, it is a little earlier than the<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/bitcoin-btc-to-soon-get-fair-accounting-rules-in-the-us-heres-what-it-means\/\"> Financial Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)<\/a> implementation of the new plan, which is supposed to be implemented in January 2025, early adoption is also feasible.<\/p>\n<h3>Why MicroStrategy Is Still Buying Bitcoin?<\/h3>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.82 --><\/p>\n<p>Even after seeing a decline in Bitcoin, MicroStrategy has continued to collect Bitcoins. MicroStrategy now holds 214,400 BTC, out of which 122 BTC tokens have been added in this April month only. Those 214,400 BTC are now worth $13.58 Billion as per the current <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/price\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin price<\/a> of $63,355.
