MicroStrategy Inc.’s bitcoin bets grew even more costly last year as an impairment charge related to those holdings contributed to a near-tripling of its total net loss year-over-year to $1.5 billion in 2022 — its highest loss since at least the turn of the millennium In all, the Tysons business intelligence software company had to report more than $1.3 billion in digital asset impairment charges based on its bitcoin holdings for all of 2022, according to its earnings report released Thursday. The company sold a small portion of its bitcoin holdings for the first time in December through its subsidiary, MacroStrategy LLC. That sale of 704 bitcoins netted the company $11.8 million, it said at the time, simultaneously announcing its purchase of another 2,395 bitcoins between Nov. 1 and Dec. 21.
