MicroStrategy, the firm that started its Bitcoin holding in August 2020, currently holds 129,699 Bitcoins.

However, as Bitcoin is experiencing a downward trend after the asset lost its $23,000 range, the analytics firm has been hit with unrealized losses affecting the company’s shares drastically. 

While MicroStrategy’s Q2 earnings reports are scheduled to be revealed next week, jefferies

An analyst at Jefferies, Brent Thill, claims that one of the reasons for MicroStrategy’s present situation is the company’s inefficiency in working on its business intelligence.

The firm has yet to disclose its strategy toward its Bitcoin holdings as it would be challenging to hold on to them during the ongoing bearish market sentiment, especially in the last couple of months.

On the other hand, MicroStrategy’s status degradation from hold to underperform given by Jefferies has negatively impacted the company’s share price. The firm’s share price has declined around 6.50% in pre-market trading.
