Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility over the past week as traders brace for a potential crisis in its pricing. Michael Saylor’s company, Strategy, which transitioned from a software firm to a major bitcoin holder, has issued a warning that it might need to sell some of its bitcoin holdings to meet financial obligations. The company owns nearly 530,000 bitcoins, purchased at an average price of $67,000 each. Strategy anticipates a nearly $6 billion unrealized loss for the first quarter, despite a related $1.69 billion income tax benefit. If the value of bitcoin continues to decline, it could severely impact the company’s ability to fulfill its financial commitments. Analysts predict a potential crash back to around $10,000 per bitcoin. — new from Forbes
