Strategy Inc. (NASDAQ: $MSTR) reported an $8.22 billion second-quarter net loss as Bitcoin's retreat pushed a large unrealized charge through earnings, even as the company expanded its treasury to 843,775 BTC.

The loss compared with net income of $10.02 billion a year earlier. Strategy recorded an $8.33 billion operating loss, including an $8.32 billion unrealized loss on digital assets, reversing the $14.05 billion unrealized gain booked in the second quarter of 2025.

Revenue from the company's software business rose 6.9% to $122.4 million. Gross profit reached $81.6 million, with gross margin narrowing to 66.6% from 68.8% a year earlier.
