MicroStrategy, one of the largest institutional Bitcoin investors, recently announced a loss of $299 million during the second quarter of 2021. This is possibly due to the sheer drop of Bitcoin price from almost $65,000 to $41,355.74, according to CoinGecko at the time of writing.

According to CEO Michael Saylor,
