Corporate Bitcoin Holders Face Heavy Losses as BTC Drops Toward $70K

-

Bitcoin is trading near $70,000, down significantly from its previous all-time high of $120,000, causing substantial paper losses for corporate treasury holders. A recent analysis shows 77% of Bitcoin treasury companies are currently holding the asset at a loss, though major firms continue to purchase billions of dollars worth of BTC. Market observers highlight Bitcoin’s historical resilience, pointing to its recovery from a 53% single-day crash in March 2020.


Bitcoin’s price decline from a $120,000 peak has resulted in significant losses for corporate holders. The asset is currently exploring the $70,000 level at the time of reporting.

According to a recent report shared by Crypto Patel, nearly 77% of Bitcoin treasury companies are holding their BTC at a loss. The estimated average Bitcoin entry price for Strategy was around $75,863, while Metaplanet and Semler Scientific entered at approximately $97,000 and $65,000 respectively.

Despite the downturn, corporate adoption continues as companies express faith in the ecosystem. Crypto Patel noted that public companies bought roughly 21,237 Bitcoin worth about $1.5 billion in a recent seven-day period.

A historical perspective was provided, referencing Bitcoin’s crash on March 12, 2020. “During the COVID-19 market crash on March 12, 2020, Bitcoin fell from $8,062 to ~$3,718 in a single day.” The asset now trades near $70,000, illustrating its volatile but persistent market presence.

Data from CoinCodex provides a long-term forecast for Bitcoin’s price trajectory. The platform’s models suggest Bitcoin could reach $80,220 by the end of 2026 and $166,372 by 2030 based on current rates.
