Strategy Leads PnL Gains Amid Market Drop

• Strategy leads institutional gains as Bitcoin-only treasury stays profitable during downturn today.
•  Bitmine and Forward suffer deep unrealized losses as Ethereum, Solana drop sharply.
•  Market still under pressure as volatility persists.

Strategy is by far the most successful of institutional crypto holders despite the recent drop in the valuation of most prominent digital assets. New data shows a wide performance gap between institutional portfolios, with Strategy posting gains while other firms face steep losses.

Bitcoin Position Keeps Strategy In Profit

According to the analysis from Lookonchain, Strategy holds 649,870 Bitcoin bought at an average price of $74,433. Despite the broader correction, this position still shows an unrealized profit of $6.15 billion, equal to a gain of 12.72%.

The portfolio remains in positive territory as Bitcoin trades above Strategy’s average cost basis. This has cushioned the firm from the volatility that hit the rest of the market this week.

Bitmine has taken the heaviest hit among the three firms tracked. It purchased 3.56 million ETH, and the average price was approximately $4,010.

That holding has dropped to around $4.52 billion in value, representing a 31.67% unrealized loss following the latest drop in the ETH price. ETH continues to drop during this correction and pushed Bitmine further into the red with its price declining significantly from local highs.

Altcoin Losses Deepen Institutional Drawdowns

Forward Industries also reported heavy downside pressure. The company bought 6.83 million SOL at an average cost of $232.08. The position is now down by $711 million, representing a 44.85% unrealized loss.

Solana is one of the most unstable top altcoins in this downturn, increasing the negative exposure of the firm. Thus, causing it to lose money as the selling pressure increased.

The data depict how the portfolio composition of these institutional holders generated high contrasts in outcomes. The Bitcoin-only treasury of Strategy has shown better performance compared to Ethereum and Solana during this corrective phase in the crypto market.

With ETH and SOL experiencing faster price drops, Bitmine and Forward Industries have become more exposed to higher percentage drawdowns and unrealized losses. The fall in the market indicated a significant separation between treasuries more heavily invested in Bitcoin and those invested in these altcoins.

Bitcoin-Only Model Sets Strategy Apart

Strategy’s performance proves why several institutional investors continue to prefer Bitcoin as the core reserve asset. It also shows how concentration in one asset can support stability when broader market sentiment weakens.

The Bitcoin treasury firm remains the only one of the three major institutional holders in positive territory. Analysts expect significant price swings to increase further due to liquidity changes and re-calculation of risk-taking by traders. This reflects the defensive strength of Bitcoin during sudden market-wide retracements.
